Bustos meets Mayor-elect Pritchard

Congresswoman Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline, made a pass through Galesburg on her way to observe the flood damage at London Mills on Monday, and she stopped to get acquainted with Mayor-elect John Prichard.

They had a friendly cup of coffee at Innkeeper?s Fresh Roasted Coffee and took a short walk in the Seminary Street retail district.

?Galesburg is an important population hub and you have a great new mayor-elect. I wanted to meet in person and hopefully start a strong relationship,? Bustos said. ?If there are obstacles in small-business growth, economic development and getting the unemployment rate down, I want to find out how we can help.?

Congress is not in session this week and Bustos is using the time to get out in her 7,000-square-mile district that stretches down the west side of the state from the Wisconsin border to Canton.

?Economic development and jobs are key areas and I glad we can come out of the chute talking about the obstacles to growth,? Prichard said. ?My main purpose is to establish a relationship so if I need to call her, she?ll know me.?

Bustos said, ?I want to know what the mayor-elect?s goals are and how we can help secure federal grants.?
