Peru at-large referendum unchallanged

A referendum asking to reduce the size of the Peru city council will be on the March primary ballot. 

Nobody challenged the petitions turned in last week by a group calling themselves the Peru At-Large Initiative.  Monday was the deadline to file a challenge. 

Peru City Clerk Dave Bartley says a few people looked at copies.  Next Bartley will certify that the petitions were turned in according to the rules and forward it to the La Salle County Clerk’s office.

Peru voters will also have a referendum asking if the city should build a new swimming pool.
