Letter to editor: Detweiller Playground trustees, can we talk, please?
The question has to be asked: Why won’t the Detweiller Playground Trust Chairman Andrew Schneider and Board members respond to requests to talk?. The Trust was established to preserve public land along the Peoria riverfront. Trust board members John Blahnik, David Welch, Jim Grimm, JR O’Brien, and Judy Crandell live from Germantown Hills to Tremont, Morton, Dunlap and Peoria Heights. Why are five of the six members from outside of Peoria? The will of Thomas H. Detweiller clearly states that, “It shall be provided in the charter and bylaws of said corporation that the management and operation of same shall be vested in a Board of Trustees consisting of five (5) individuals, who shall be citizens of the City of Peoria, men of integrity, honesty and vision.”
