Dale Chiavene, former mayor in late 80's into 1991. I do appreciate that Mr. Wrighton likes our town enough to have visited here over the years. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Kyle's taking isolated quotes and turning them into a mountain when I really believe there's nothing to it. Mr. Wrighton knows our town. He knows a lot of the people. I'll support him until he does something that changes that but I doubt that will happen. It should be a smooth transition, which I'm happy about. Ahhh, ok. Yes, I do vaguely remember that. We lived in Louisville, then Btown during that time period.

I think the City hired the new city manager because of his experience in India. Many parts of India have little or no sanitary sewer systems so his experience with the urine soaked streets of India were probably the primary reason for his hiring here. It looks like the city is addressing one of our community's MAJOR problems by hiring someone with transportion/urination experience.

How many of you know that Scot Wrighton is facing a Criminal Trial in India and is currently out on bail. A warrant was issued to him after he failed to turn up in the Court. After the warrant he was forced to appear before the judge.
Very serious Criminal Charges against him.

I hear scott wrighton will be replacing our retiring city manager. the more things change in Streator the more they stay the same. and to know that he is facing serious Criminal Charges in India is concerning. Is he fleeing India to Streator because he can be docked. Serious issue for all citizens.

This is a prime example of this city not being able to think ahead with fresh ideas. They bring back the old mis-managers and their failed ideas. Why cannot they hire younger managers with fresh and a progressive outlook? The two newer board members were members were supposed to change the council direction. They must of already have their good old boy and girl badges. The old worn out re-hired manager will tax the citizens and business to extinction. Mark my words, they will try the HOME RULE Scam again and raise taxes and fees! Ya quite there. This guy can cause havoc in the city as he has recently done in Lavasa, India and many there want him out. He has not learnt from the pas and is Streator is creating an old boy school and paying taxes to fund the pension of the guy

Streator has been turned into a safe haven to protect all criminal's. the great al Capone used to flee to streator to his hideout he had here according to the history channel. He would murder lots of people in Chicago and flee to his hideout in streator. he has more hideous in other states besides the one he had in streator. Streator has been nicknamed little Chicago.

We are sorry your restaurant didn't make it, but slander isn't going to work..........

How many of you know that Scot Wrighton is facing a Criminal Trial in India and is currently out on bail. A warrant was issued to him after he failed to turn up in the Court. After the warrant he was forced to appear before the judge. Very serious Criminal Charges against him. Welcome new member. My name is Kyle Mitchell. I am not a big business man, but took chances on opening a couple of businesses here in Streator. I have been asking voters for years to elect new leaders here because I feel that we have very poor conditions for businesses to survive here. Please see me blog on this forum (Kyle's Blog, Why Streator Needs New Leaders) for more details. There is interesting conversation there about Mr. Wrighton and what caused the conditions behind Mr. Reji Thomas tweeting the information that you posted here. Could you possibly be Mr. Thomas? We are very interested in more details on the situation. What can you tell us about Mr. Wrighton's conduct as City Manager for Lavasa and the shutting down of your business in their development? Please share your information. As some of the strong defenders of the City of Streator's actions have already backed down from standing up to what I talk about and have vowed not to respond on my blog, you may get less attacks posting the information there, however there are 007's immature attempts to block free speech there. Please though, I look forward to your posts.

I did see some of that when they announced his hire.
A video of him talking about the new City has him saying the biggest challenges were acquiring land and a lack of governance.
Other places where I searched Lavasa, I read claims that some of Lavasa's land was forcibly taken from local farmers whose families had worked the land for generations.
I wonder if he will pursue "acquiring" land and more "governance" here.
I read that only two of the ten planned villages have been completed. Why would he be leaving before the project is even close to being finished?
I also read that the hill side land that Lavasa is built on is even more susceptible to land slides now. There are also claims that the water there is unsafe because of the improper treatment of sewage.
The Times articles indicate that he doesn't want to disclose the personal reasons that he wants to get his family out of there.
I find it interesting. Did he help build a City that is unsafe and has an unfriendly business environment that he doesn't want to be around any more?

Did he help build a City that is unsafe and has an unfriendly business environment that he doesn't want to be around any more? I was sorta curious about how it was worded in the paper. Something about the NEED to get his family out of India, stuck me as it being an urgent matter. You may be correct on the reasons. His family could also be getting physical threats. It seems the criminal case tweets were bogus, at least according to an Indian court. On a separate but related item: Lavasa is a private company, where Streator is a public city. Wouldnt a private entity have more control over what happens in it, compared to a city?Wouldnt they be more in the lines of a mall management group, or a homeowners association and be able to control more of what happens within their own walls or within their development? Is the primary goal of that company to make money, or to provide services for citizens? Arent the leaders of Lavasa more like the board of directors, rather than a city council?
