More like “Least Peoria,” if you ask me.

Retail Merchants Association: “We urge local authorities to enforce the mask mandate.”
East Peoria Mayor: “Fuhgetaboubtit.”

The workers at the boat, Bass Pro, fish markets, conference center, and the region that relies on the Peoria as their center of commerce deserve better.

The people of E Peoria and the rest of Tazewell County need to vote better.
Comment by Glengarry Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 2:27 pm
Am I crazy, or isn’t it the Tazewell County Health Department who has the authority here?
Comment by Ducky LaMoore Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 2:27 pm
Hey any chance Mr Mayor you can do that with some vice laws as well?
Also I guess I missed the day in school when they told us mayors could just ignore laws

“We encourage everyone to respect each other”
No you don’t. Because the most respectful thing any of us can do right now is get a vaccine and wear a mask.

Love the line about being respectful of others, as he disses the governor and his public health department through his decision. He obviously missed the leadership lesson about leaders being persons who have to make hard decisions that their constituency does not like but the decision is for the benefit of the greater society.

==Just ask the family members of those cancer patients who were never given an opportunity to survive because the FDA had yet to approve for them a treatment that appeared to be effective during clinical trials.==
Hey Mayor Whatabout, (1) did you get the jab? (2) did you miss yesterday’s posts from the business community encouraging mask use?

==We encourage everyone to remain respectful of each other and to be respectful of any policies…==
“But we urge you to ignore them respectfully.”

Is there a hospital in East Peoria?

“…’Virus’… is a five letter word”
- East Peoria mayor
“So is … ‘Death’… “
- Covid 19, possibly

East Peoria. We straddle the border between the Eastern and Western Blocs.

Note to self–East Peoria won’t get my $$ anytime soon.

He’s got his sights set on higher office.
Mayor of East Peoria today.
King of Goofy Ridge someday soon.

Duly noted. I’m going to be spending a fair amount of time and some money in the Peoria area for a while. I’ll be sure my spending is confined to the west side of the river as much as possible.

Just for giggles, I replaced a few words. Wonder if he still agrees.
I support a person’s choice to have an abortion, no different than I do a person’s choice not to. That is a personal decision that only you should make and one that should be kept private unless you alone decide to share it with others.

=The people of E Peoria and the rest of Tazewell County need to vote better.=
Yeah, no. That is a prevailing attitude in those parts.
But good to know that in East Peoria we can pick and choose the rules we follow. I like to drive really fast. I also like to have a cold one in hand as I visit the various retail outlets too.I assume the mayor has no issue with that.
My kinda guy. /s

And this is one of the reasons why the darkness of Covid will overshadow us all for a lot longer than it has to.
Comment by dougIL Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 3:56 pm
Hmmm….let’s ask the hospital administrators just a mile away and across the river what they think of this policy.
Comment by Just Me 2 Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 3:56 pm
Kahl is giving his constituents what they think they want.
Too bad they won’t vote for Kahl after they contract or die from Covid.

Princeton Mayor on facebook posted that the police will not be enforcing this due to it not being a law as well.

I used to go to East Peoria. My dollars will also be spent elsewhere.
Comment by Stormsw7706 Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 4:17 pm
Good for him
Comment by synchromesh Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 4:21 pm
Maybe he’s not opposed to masks. It could be that he just thinks that the businesses and residents of East Peoria haven’t suffered enough.
