Peru Residents Will Decide on April 2 What Aldermen Will Be on the City Council

The cold weather has been rather difficult for all the candidates running for Peru City Council. Ground has been so frozen and even signs are hard to place in yards but they are beginning to crop up as we look forward to hopefully better weather.

First Ward: John McLeod against current Alderman Jeff Ballard

Second Ward: Tom Riordan against current Alderman Tom Payton

Third Ward: Kristen McDaniel against Alderman Dave Waldorf

Fourth Ward: Aaron Buffo against current Alderman Dave Potthoff. Buffo is not on the ballot but will be running as a write in candidate. Remember that this is the race where Potthoff challenged the petitions of Buffo and incurred thousands of dollars of legal fees paid for by the City of Peru so that Buffo's name would not be on the ballot. Potthoff must believe his constituents are so dumb that they can't write in the name.

Watch your doorknobs for hangers placed there by the candidates and probably walking the wards looking to speak with you and ask for your vote. If you have questions contact any of them and they will be happy to speak with you about your concerns.
