I recently attended a peaceful protest downtown for the Black Lives Matter movement. The Mayor gave a very nice and well received speech on the courthouse lawn. I have found that this speech has since been posted to YouTube where I have had the chance to listen to it again. During his speech he spoke about transparency at all levels in local Government. The Mayor also made mention of the fact that window tint was being removed from all Police cars in order to promote this. I believe that this was a step in the right direction. Yet despite this, I still have seen administrators at the Department getting in and out of their cars while I walk to class and while they are driving around town with window tint still on their Police cars. Why has the window tint not been removed from these Police vehicles despite the fact that the Mayor wants complete and total transparency and these are people that should be some of the most transparent ones out there? Thank you.

I have an issue of how a criminal case is not being taken seriously, or pursued in a timely manner. On May 8, 2013
My daughter got shoved into a wall by one of my male neighbors & my car window busted out by my female neighbor & have it on video. The police come & of course my neighbor left before police arrived. The police took everyones statement even reviewed the video which was sent to the officers email right then, still nothing has been done. But the officers did come to my house to tell me there will be a warrant for the female because of the video but nothing will happen to the man that assaulted my daughter & she had visible marks on her arm from where he pushed her.
This back & forth with my neighbor has been going on for a year. But nothing was ever done to protect me & my family so they became bolder in their harassment toward me & my family. I told the officer if they wouldnt not do anything to them they wouldnt stop. I am the one who always called the police ( but the few times they called was saying i didnt have a license & i tried to hit my neighbor with my car) it was me calling for protection. My neighbors have threatened, stalked us w/a video camera pointed to my front door & parking lot, assaulted physically & verbally, destroyed property, & spit on, still to this day stalk my daughter at work & drive by our house because the female neighbor no longer lives by me she was evicted about a week ago. I do not understand why either one wasnt arrested that day. I had all the proof my daughter was injured & my window was busted & video taped so I do not understand the lack of action from the Police that are suppose to protect. If I was not in the "poor side" of town I think things would have been different. I believe if she busted a city officials car window she would have been put in jail that night or assaulted a city officials daughter. Its sad that someone with money & power are more believable then evidence in my case. Every officer & there were alot over the past year all said the same its your word against their word even if you have witnesses nothing is going to happen. One officer even got in my face & said you call us again over stupid shit & I will take you to jail, I have more important things to deal with then neighbor disputes. This was in front of my children & of course my neighbors too. So for months after my family had to deal with them thinking they can do anything cause all they had to say was our word against them. My kids hated to just walk to the car to leave because they hadnt played outside for the past year. My car is scratched up, headlight busted window busted bike tires flattened & I havent done one thing to retaliate except rely on the legal system to protect me. I will be out hundreds of dollars to repair all that has been damaged. Where is my justice where is my protection I dont care what part of town I live or how much money or power i dont have I deserve the same rights as everyone should. If everyone would just realize its the little things that works up to what they consider more important cases. If the police took more time stopping the little incidents maybe the bigger ones wouldnt proceed. To whom that reads this , without knowing me or my history or station in life, if this happened to you, What would you do?

Hello,
I live on Rogers where the road construction has been going on. While the construction so far has been annoying, it has been bearable and hasn't intruded on daily life functioning.
The past two morning I have been woken at 6 am to extremely loud construction outside my window. 7 am was annoying, but bearable, but 6 am is just insanity. It wasn't even light out this morning at 6 am! I am ill and trying to recover and being woken at 6 am when I don't have to be awake for work until 8 am is just rude.
Please, is it at all possible to wait until 7 am to start construction? At least it's a reasonable hour.
Thank you,
Rachel Matthews

Please forward this praise to the appropriate dept: If we haven't thanked the appropriate department already, on behalf of Bloomington Transit I want to give an enormous thanks to all the staff responsible for clearing the roads so that BT's fixed route and BTaccess (disabled transport) could successfully maintain operations last week during the awful cold and snow. We were one of the few transit systems in Indiana that did not shut down. Customers were very impressed and grateful and we owe this to you! - Eli McCormick, Customer Service Manager

I called the Bloomington police department this evening to report a noise complaint (someone in the apartment complex adjacent to mine is playing incredibly loud rap music). I was told by someone on the phone that the noise ordinance in Bloomington does not start until 11 pm, however, section 14.09.030 states that "Sound that is clearly audible to a person with normal hearing from any place other than the premises from which the source of the sound is located, when the sound occurs between the hours of nine p.m. and seven a.m., is prima facie evidence of a violation of this section." The lady was pleasant, and told me that she would send someone over to look into it, but she was convinced that the city of Bloomington's noise ordinance did not go into affect until 11 pm. Might be worth looking into.

We are having an annual sidewalk sale on July 11th and wanted to get approval to have a food truck parked outside of our store. Just wondering who I would contact to get approval or fill out a request.
