Quest now wants $500,000 from Peoria County taxpayers

PEORIA -- Unbelievable!  Peoria's Quest Charter School now wants $500,000 from Peoria County, and it's clueless executive committee has OKed the request.

Here's the Journal Star story on this.

Wait a minute!  See a series of stories from June 8, June 18 and June 21, 2011, posted below under the category 'Peoria District 150.'

"Quest is part of a secretive Turkish network under investigation elsewhere..." it begins, and documents the information.

What investigation?  A federal investigation for visa violations, a financial investigation into use of funds, etc. 

Check it out, Peoria County Board members, before giving this operation any money!  How?  Start with the Ohio Attorney General's office and go from there.

  • Telling the truth
    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell "I found that to tell the truth is the hardest thing on earth, harder than fighting in a war, harder than taking part in a revolution." Richard Wright, 1944.
  • From the News Release
    PeoriaStory will tell the stories that likely won’t be told by the mainstream/corporate media. It will question local political candidates for their views on controversial topics. It will cover and profile off-beat movements and people. It will take stands on issues such as the Kellar trail. It will also serve as a forum for liberal and progressive events, and welcomes news releases from groups working for the public good. PeoriaStory will be a fresh, new voice for the Peoria area blogosphere, and offer a liberal and progressive perspective for our times.
