Pekin Mayor Dave Tebben died early Friday afternoon at Methodist Medical Center not long after doctors had placed him in a medically-induced coma after a sudden change after doing well while recovering from two heart surgeries. Tebben was elected and served as mayor from 1995 to 2003, then was re-elected to the city’s top decision making post last year. Tebben is credited with the construction of the new City Hall and luring Hanna Steel to Riverway Business Park and his work on Veterans Drive, an ongoing ring road project that, when finished, will connect Interstate 474 south to Illinois Route 29.
