Galesburg Alderman Larry Cox announced Thursday that he is seeking another four years on the City Council, representing the 7th Ward. Cox is the former Public Works Director for the City and has a Master of Public Administration degree and was previously serving in the Sunrise Rotary Club as Secretary and President. In a statement, he shares his recent support for two additional police officers and three new firefighters plus additional funding for the Galesburg Police Department in the City's budget. Cox says he has been a long-time supporter of more funding for streets and sidewalks and believes the amount spent should be that which can be managed mostly with in-house engineering staff. He says does not support using any Motor Fuel Tax funds to make bond payments as others have suggested, adding the city does not currently receive enough funds to meet the city's needs, so using these funds to pay for bonds would be counterproductive On the subject of a new community center
