“It doesn’t take a majority to win, just a tireless minority that will keep starting brush fires in the mind and hearts of their fellow men.” Samuel Adams
Every year of this administration's service the blog has thoroughly investigated Peru officials involvement with the IML. Every year these government appointed and elected officials attend the IML, attain the best of living and dining, take their companion along at taxpayers expense and stay overnight rather than drive the 100 miles up and back. Every year the same individual reports of what business was carried on at the IML Meetings is given to the citizenship - NOTHING! Where does the blame lay for such a waste of taxpayers money? It lays with the taxpayer. The taxpayer is the person who doesn't vote, who does not educate himself to know the platforms of those running for office and is the person who could care less as long as it does not involve him personally. This blog has had many great subjects which have introduced outstanding comments which have mostly sat idle for lack of support. Sadly Peru, a town with the strength of teamwork has become a city which is being led by the "what's in it for me" concept. I question the conscience of Peru politicians who spend three times as much city money as the LaSalle politicians for the same IML Meeting.
It is very interesting to get a specific on who spent and on what. You can, as I always do, request the financial report on the individual itemized finance reports for each individual who attends the IML meetings on taxpayers funds. Remember that certain preferred corporations show up to wine and dine our city fathers at these same meetings. These expenditures do not show up on any financial reports.
To limit political payback if a corporation is known to participate just send in their identification along with anything else known. Such as meals and drinks at IML meeting - Perus' engineering firm or Perus' contracted waste disposal firm or Perus' contracted water treatment firm.

I vote and what does it get me?
It would be interesting to get a specific who spent and what. Please include formers.
