Blog Issues in Peru

The following is a copy of a part of an entry I posted to a blog called Change for Peru. It will be interesting to see what the response is I will keep you up to date.

I know you have forbidden pro-Baker citizens of Peru from commenting on your blog. How do you know who they are? Just so you know, I am not pro-Baker. I am for a person with proven experience to lead the city. For me wanting change is not sufficient. I have often read that you want to see the old way of doing business in Peru to end. I agree. But,now I have to ask this - does this extend to ending the turning of a blind eye from the illegal gambling activity going on on 5th street and across the street from Walt Zukowski's law practice? Or, are there limits to what you think should be changed? Who has the "tip board bloc"? Should a candidate or an incumbent not enforce all the laws on the books? Do you think the chief of police should be removed for not enforcing the anti-gambling statutes? Should the mayor of Peru insist on enforcing all the laws, or just the ones that do not interfere with his or her reelection? Where is the line drawn? What do the candidates have to say about this? You have the time and the inclination to attend all the informal and formal council meetings, and are not shy about raising questions. Would you raise this question the next time you have the 3 candidates in the same room. I work from 7am to 8 pm so I really do not have the opportunity you do. I think the answer to this question will tell us all a lot about the moral compasses the candidates are using to direct their lives. What do you think? Could be interesting.
