Bush visits Peoria
Bush visited Peoria at Weaver Farms in order to promote Aaron Schock. Weaver Farms is a very big-scale rich establishement. Bush went through downtown where CAT thrives and talked to his like-minded folks at 500$ a dinner. Why didn't he visit the housing sections to which people are struggling to get by? Why has he never visited that section? Oh yeah, he is campaigning. He is always campaigning. When does this man actually do his job? I can see why he is loved by his CEO community. When will another Bobby Kennedy come along and have compassion for the communities he visits?

noise pollution
Noise Pollution
In Peoria, a new law allows cops to impound a person's vehicle if they can hear their radio from 75ft away on a first offense. They did this in the name of noise violations. They set it up right away and started confinscating vehicles right away. They had it all publicized right away, too. In the first article in the paper, it was mentioned that the officers didn't want to burden offenders and so a father picking up his child got a ride to where his child was. How is he supposed to get home? How is this not a burden? Is it just radios? Is it a noise violation or not? If it is in the name of noise violations, then why don't they take away dogs that bark excessively after 10pm? Or bikers that ride at any time of day. There are bikes that I know I can hear past 300 yards away at 2am. Why aren't their bikes stopped and why aren't their bikes taken away? Why aren't those dogs taken away? The dogs bark when there is no danger. If you can see, which is a requirement to getting a driver's license, then you should be able to see a bike. I have witnessed many bike wrecks that had nothing to do with noise of biker's bikes.
