Dave Potthoff for Mayor

When we were getting ready to move to the house we live in now from the house we had up on the North side of Peru (set to close on it the following day) I received a call from my neighbor to be while I was working in Litchfield (south of Springfield) to tell me that the son of the sellers was getting ready to have a big beer bash that night (the sellers had vacated the property about a month before this). He knew this because the son mowed the lawn (something he usually did not do unless a party was about to happen), and the city had delivered barrels and planks to set up the beer bar (again happened before). I called my wife at work in Peru. She called the boy's mother. I called Dave Potthoff because Mr. O'Beirne was not available at the time. Shortly after that call, according to my neighbor, a City of Peru truck showed up to pick up the "equipment" and the police showed up to tell the son (underage) there would be no party that night. I did not live in his ward, and I was not moving to his ward, BUT Dave Potthoff responded to a concern of a Peru citizen, and helped us out. That told me a lot about the man. That is one of the many reasons I support Dave Potthoff for mayor.
