As Pekin kicks off its annual Marigold Festival later this week, city leadership remains hindered by fractures seemingly driven by personal differences. Mayor Mary Burress points to a recent split city council on naming police chief John Dossey as Pekin's full-time city manager as an example of the ongoing council divide. In her latest regular quarterly interview with WCBU reporter Joe Deacon, Burress discusses attempts to bring the city together, and why she believes the vote to hire Dossey was not unanimous.
