There's a rumour floating that she is considering a run for Mayor. Any thoughts on this? I hope that doesn't open the door for Marcella Teplitz to come back to a 2nd district seat.

What a good choice that would be. Bob Manning for assistant Mayor (if there was such a thing). They both have really good (fair-minded) heads on their shoulders. I was part of the ABM (Anybody But Marcella) Treaty, that displaced Ms Teplitz in the last 2nd District Primary Election. "You Go Madam Mayor" -The One Stop HOME Shop

I could handle "Madam Mayor", but not that Madam Mayor.

Every time I called Barbara over an issue I had, she responded very promptly, and actually did what she said she would do ... if I still lived in Peoria, I'd vote for her ..

I like BVA and will fully support her re-election as D2 Council member.

Despite her missteps (caving to Bradley on the parking deck, caving to the museum folks on the Sears block, lack of support for the Heart of Peoria Commission), I actually think she still does a good job for the second district overall. She's supported the Land Development Code, form districts, facade improvement program, sidewalk/street improvements, ornamental lighting restoration (controversial as it was -- at least she's fighting for her district, unlike the first district councilman), and I'm actually pretty happy with the new Public Works Director (so far), whom she helped choose. So, at this point I'm likely to support her in the next election if she runs for second district. If she runs for mayor, though, that's a different story.

Odd, I don't see your picture peoriaguy or is it because you don't have a reflection?

She is one intelligent woman and Peoria is lucky to have her. She would make a terrific Mayor. I for one would even contribute to her campaign fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, she probably would make even a better Federal Judge. Viva VanAuken
