Problems are for Solving

I live in the 2^nd district of Peoria. I have a councilwoman whose national politics seem (from a private conversation we had months ago) to be as different from mine as night and day.

Because of things like this, I wouldn’t even dream of running for her seat. Her local politics are well in line with what I would have in the city government and I’m glad that she represents my district. She is all about community. We don’t have to agree on everything to agree on what’s important for Peoria.

Councilwoman Van Auken—keep up the good work. May we see a sense of community return to and grow in our fair city. May our local businesses prosper and may we help one another to prosper by frequenting those local businesses.

(BTW, I wrote yesterday about shopping locally and some of the reasons I think it’s so important.)
