So the City of Peoria wants neighboring Glendale to allow a new Indian gaming casino within its boundaries because it will create a lot of new jobs for the area. But it doesn’t want to allow an aspiring business park, also in Glendale, to put up outdoor billboards along the 101, to help do the same?
This isn’t an opinion about the proposed casino, a subject we are agnostic about, until we are not.
It is one about a potentially shameful act by Peoria Mayor Bob Barrett, aspiring mayoral replacements on the Peoria City Council and others there utilizing public resources to stymie private development in another city.
