So, what happened at the big Battle of the Mayors meeting about the collapsing museum project? The only mainstream media reporting I can find at 4 p.m. is on WMBD 1470:
Ransburg tells 1470 WMBD he took from the meeting that everyone does want to work together to reach an agreement. he says the council has [...]

As this is being written, Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis and former Peoria Mayor Dave “The Liar” Randburg and other assorted movers and shakers are meeting behind closed doors. This is to give Ransburg a chance to explain exactly what is going on with the museum efforts to snag an IMAX theater for the Amazasploraportaseum on [...]
Merle Widmer is one of few Peoria politicians who are openly skeptical of the downtown museum project. He has posts here, here and here.
Here is a good line:
At a recent fundraiser, Peoria County Board member and a PRM Chairperson, Andrew Rand said an additional $400,000 was raised. I asked, cash or pledges? His answer, pledges. [...]
Yeah. It’s another post about Rachel Corrie. I’m just a glutton for hate mail, I guess.
Morton Grove blogger John Ruberry was in Chicago yesterday when Caterpillar held a stockholders’ meeting. Naturally, the smelly hippies who want Caterpillar to stop doing business with Israel were their with their long list of grievances.
Ruberry, who took a lot [...]
Via Day by Day, I learned this:
Remember Rachel Corrie? She’s the America-born terrorist sympathizer and flag burner who stood in the path of Israeli bulldozers and they demolished some houses that were being used to cover tunnels being used to smuggle weapons into Gaza. Her parents sued Caterpillar (because when someone kills you with a [...]
Caterpillar promised that its top bosses would share the pain felt by employees as they shopped jobs overseas, reduced benefits, screwed retirees and shipped jobs overseas.
This is what Big Yellow meant by all that.
[Caterpillar CEO Jim] Owens’ incentive pay fell 80 percent, from $4.35 million to $868,001. His base salary remained at [...]
Kudos to the Journal Star’s Paul Gordon, for running a story that partially explains why Congress wants Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens to explain his company’s math.
At issue is a tax-free subsidy the companies received for each retiree for which they provided prescription drug benefits under Medicare Part D. More precisely, under the new [...]
It’s breathtaking, as a Peorian, to witness politicians who aren’t frightened to death that Caterpillar might be unhappy with them. Witness this:
Caterpillar Inc. and other large companies are being criticized by the Obama administration for reporting now that they will take millions of dollars in hits to their earnings because of one portion of the [...]
Merle Widmer printing the letter on his blog:
All County Board members received a letter dated 1/20/10 from Jim Owens, Caterpillar Chairman and CEO, and from Douglas R. Oberhelman, Vice-Chairman and CEO Elect stating in part “Delays (by the county) have cost our community $5 million dollars in New Market Tax Credits”. The letter in part [...]
