Ernie Tuttle, Democrat candidate for Washington County Commissioner, District 3.
David Norton, Democrat candidate for Washington County Commissioner, District 1.
The Republicans' time to file to be candidates in the November is over; it’s now time for the Democrats to file. They had until July 3 at noon to file for election and be on the ballot.
Two candidates have filed for re-election to the Town of Pekin Town Council. They are Darlene Anderson Hall and Anthony N. Mosby and will be uncontested.
Ernie Tuttle has been appointed by the Democrat Party to fill the ballot vacancy as a candidate for County Commissioner District 3.
David H. Norton has been appointed by the Democratic Party to fill the ballot vacancy of the party for County Commissioner, District 1. His filing has been certified, and he will be on the ballot in November. For clarification, along with his Primary voting history, the party filed a Certification of Support by the Democratic party chair in support of his declaration of candidacy. This is standard practice when someone changes party.
The City of Salem, in partnership with the Redevelopment Commission, is set to straighten one of the city’s more difficult intersections. Mayor Justin Green announced the project to straighten what he described as the “nasty dogleg” at the intersection of Elizabeth and East Walnut streets during the Monday, July 8, meeting of the Salem Common Council.
Discussion between the city and the Redevelopment Commission began more than a year ago. Since that time, two parcels have been purchased and the houses have been demolished.
Green said while the improvement won’t result in a straight intersection, it will make the approach more “sweeping,” which should make it more navigable. Land surveys are currently being conducted.
The task force currently assessing the city’s water utility is about four weeks away from delivering its final report. Salem Councilman Roger Pennington updated the Board of Public Works and Safety and the Common Council on the task force’s progress during the Monday, July 8, meetings.
Pennington said the task force has met weekly during the past eight weeks. In addition to interviewing water utility employees, the task force has conducted site visits of other utilities. On Wednesday, July 9, the task force was scheduled to tour Scottsburg’s water utility.
During its April 9 meeting, the Council unanimously approved the formation of the task force, which Pennington proposed and dubbed “Task Force Clean Water.” The task force has been reviewing the utility’s personnel and their duties; infrastructure; water production costs; and rates.
Pennington’s aim with the task force is to restore public confidence in the utility. The task force is comprised of two council members and three community members.
The task force’s role is advisory only: it will be left to the city’s elected officials to make any changes based on their recommendations.
