Well from the early (48%) returns, it can be gathered that enough people didn't really give a shit about changing the direction of this city.
The top vote getter so far? Yep you could have guessed it. Chuck Weaver!!! Remember the guy who hosted the POTUS fundraiser for Schock at his farm? I believe it was the 500 a seat dinner. The guy who spent more money than probably all the candidates combined? Thank goodness the white wealthy business owner finally has a voice in this city.
And the other newcomer: Chuck Grayeb.
Spain (Schock Jr.) and Turner somehow are coming back.
Thank God Sandberg looks to be the 2nd highest vote getter. We will count on him to try and be the sensible one on the horseshoe.
I'm convinced that people just don't care in this city. I guarantee if there was a vote to kick Wal Mart or McDonalds out of Peoria, there would be a 50% or higher turnout at the polls. But when it's something as inconsequential as where the City of Peoria is headed, why bother?
If you didn't get out and vote today, you should be ashamed. And keep your damn mouth shut when the same shit is passed around the horseshoe.
Very disappointing, Peoria.
UPDATE: The good news is Beth Akeson was one of the 5 winners.
