$200K down the drain?

PEORIA, IL -- There's a very well done story on the current  newsletter of the Heart of Illinois Sierra Club about the city of Peoria's proposed purchase of a small piece of riverfront land for $200,000.

It's now underwater.  Read the linked story and act!

This land is worth very little.  The owners ought to give it to the city for a tax deduction, as its only value is for a park. And the clean up cost for pollution buried on the land is unknown.

Instead the city has a long term deal to buy it.  A total waste of money for a city with a deficit budget!
