Peoria County Civic Leadership Program

Posted on: Fri, 11/21/2008 - 23:47| By: GinaBina

I am participating in the Peoria County Civic Leadership Program, and find it very informative. Before this program, I grouped Peoria CITY govt and peoria COUNTY govt together. But they are 2 separate entities. We learn how county govt responsibilities are different (or the same) from city and state govts. We also learn how county govt interacts with city, state, and federal govts.

We've learned about how some county programs are funded, and have learned how our property taxes are determined and distributed

it would be nice if peoria city govt had a similar program. i would like to learn more about school district funding. Although, the schol district budget is online on a school district's website.

Find Your Elected Officials: Federal, State, County, City

Posted on: Mon, 11/17/2008 - 13:37| By: GinaBina

The LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF GREATER PEORIA has a great page to find elected officials at the federal, state, county, and city levels. It's great b/c it lists:

School Boards: District 150
City elected officials: Peoria and surronding cities/villages
County elected officials: Peoria, Woodford,Tazewell
State elected officials like the governor and others

The League will probably update this page in Jan 2009
