On Deck - Thursday, February 4, 2021

WCBU's On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Thursday, February 4, 2021. Our top story is about how the 3rd Peoria City Council District candidates recently participated in a forum hosted by the Peoria NAACP. WCBU's Tim Shelley rounds up their takes on police reform needs in the River City. You'll also hear how an education bill with wide-ranging provisions is drawing mixed reaction from Central Illinois school superintendents. The Governor has yet to sign it, but says he will. Some say the bill would be challenging to implement. Others say it will address long-standing inequities. WCBU reporter Christine Hatfield will bring you the details.
