You can find a city manager with years of experience who has great and fresh ideas. I havent done any research yet, but couldnt Wrighton now be that type of person? Has anybody heard of his plans, or are we basing it off of his previous job as Streator city manager?

Certainly there are other candidates... Where is don Crawford???

Home Rule is not needed in a town the size of Streator. There are rules on the books now to protect us from trouble makers and idiots. There are zoning laws that also protect us from idiots and troublemakers. There is no need for more taxes in this little town. The money is there to do things it just needs to be spent wisely.
LESS GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!

I honestly don't know why they would want to impose ever more ordinances, rules and regulations on people. I think most people are sick of the ones they have already. That's because you are not a politician. They exist to consolidate power, and to consolidate power, they must do things like tell you how many gallons you can use to flush your turds. It is the normal state of a politician.

I don't know why they are bringing wrighton back. While hiring a younger manager with new ideas is a silly thing to say there has to be someone out there besides a retread. It almost seems like the Mayor reads SO and is responding to you oldtimer. From The Times: "This isn't a retread, this is an opportunity to bring in a quality candidate.", said Lansford of Wrighton.I don't know the guy, but it sure would be easier to think maybe we could head in a different direction, if they were bringing in someone new. I don't think they are interested in doing anything differently though; they seem to like the direction that Streator has been heading.

These fvcking old politicians don't want change. Like to keep it old style when they were growing up here. Another mayberry with andy and barny and aunt b and opie,and the drunk that locks himself up in jail when he has too much too drink. That's the logic this city keeps envisioning .

These fvcking old politicians don't want change. Don't you find it interesting that the people's choice of Phelan and Crouch as the "non-establishment" board members, voted to hire Mr. Wrighton and continue to take the city in the direction it is heading? They are hardly "old" let alone career politicians.

Retread is what I would call it. Streator cannot think ahead and hires all these worn out city mis-managers. This is not an overseas city and the town has problems, that the brownies over there do not have. Was that an official city council meeting that the council members initially talked to the new (old) candidate and was an agenda posted, if so? Sounds like the good old boys agenda in full swing and closed door politics.
