If you like me have not informed about all that is going on in the Westclox bldg., you will enjoy reading this article from the Ottawa Times.

SSLOP Known as Shared Services La Salle Oglesby Peru

SSLOP committee appears to be charging ahead full speed without the approval of the citizens being affected by the changes and if it does as it appears to be on target for change, the only choice will be for the people to take it to the ballot box.  Logically there needs to be a referendum in La Salle, Peru and Oglesby to determine what the people who will be affected by the change think about it. That would be the democratic way but I somehow believe that is not what the committee has in mind.

And perhaps it is not the way that those most affected by the Bernabei Solution want the police departments managed in their cities.

Comments Being Moved to FB

All future comments to any PTF blog can be written on the Peru Town Forum Blog Facebook page. I will continue to post here but due to the animosity being shown by specific individuals under the guise of ANON it was necessary to make changes.  Certain people have chosen this venue as a way to get back at any information posted that they do not want to see the light of the day. The only difference will be names will be shown on FB.
Most of us don't like to shadow box with people and those that are being derogatory don't have the courage to put their names on the page and others fear retribution by the power brokers in town. Sad to see but the situation requires changes.
Thanks for all that posted in a positive and honest way. And to those with ill intent who wish to destroy any honest discussions for whatever your fears may be  can talk among yourselves.

I would like to add that I recently had a conversation with someone who was looking to buy a home in Peru because our schools are so good also said that I hear your politics are not so good. That is correct our politics are not so good here in Peru.

Just Asking. Will You Be Keeping the New Oversize Garbage Cans in Peru?

We have  our brand new shiny plastic garbage totes and find them to be too big, way too big. Storage is a problem as is the cumbersome issue and all this for not more than one bag, sometimes small and sometimes enough to fill the old metal can we have used for years. So we are calling for an exchange.

Perhaps we should have been surveyed or been obliged to call for the size most convenient for each family or individual. Your thoughts on this.

What Streets in Peru are Being Resurfaced??

I just watched a short video put out by the City of Peru showing all the repairs being done and most looked to be in the St John's subdivision. Is your street on the repair list?

Looks like most of the East End of Peru which has some very bad streets and a couple are major thoroughfares are being ignored. Several people have commented that one of the streets being resurfaced is the one that Alderman Payton lives on and a few more in the Marquette Manor II subdivision.

In times past Aldermen were allowed to suggest repairs to a certain number of streets in their ward but evidently that is old news and they no longer are doing that.

Do you live on a street that is being ignored or on a street being repaired?
