1st District Council hopeful shuts down his blog

After taking a beating on the boards of local blogs and the local newspaper website, 1st District City Council hopeful, Randall Emert (a/k/a Emtronics, a/k/a Peoria Anti-Pundit) has shut down his blog.


Never afraid to be provocative and speak his mind; sometimes Anti-Pundit would go so hard in his blog posts, that I would take a picture of his page out of sheer disbelief for what I just read...

Since the August blog post above, Emert has changed his mind and decided to run for the 1st District City Council seat. He kept his blog open and continued to be vocal commenting whenever he felt he had something he needed to weigh in on.

Many on the boards suggested to Emert that he should stop commenting. Well, two days ago, it appears that Emert conceded that to continue defending himself on the boards was getting to be too much work and could get him in trouble and he has decided that it's time he focus on the election and the issues of the 1st.


Most folks running for elected office would love to have the level of web presence that Emert has established. There are a lot of important issues happening in the 1st District, and a blog is an excellent way to put forth a positive message about the issues constituents are concerned about.
