Please please make masks mandatory or demand the health department do so. I'm not sure who has authority on that. But 100 people at Switchyard Park tonight at baseketball court crowded without masks. Maybe 50% at stores, at best, wearing masks. This isn't enough to prevent deaths. We must do better and guidance and hash tags aren't enough. Workers, even city workers, are up close and personal without and we are terrified of what will happen when students come back. We've been lucky, other than the one nursing home, but that can change in an instant once an outbreak comes. Now is the time for decisive leadership. Please make this moment the right one for Bloomington.

Mayor, can you please do something about the empty big box Kmart on the east side? We shouldn't have a vacant store and lot for so many years. It underutilizes land, is a blight, and it could be so many great things. A hotel, affordable housing, restaurants, a small park, ideally all of the above. There is so much attention paid to the old hospital, Switchyard, and other areas, but how about this massive piece of concrete? Please put some resources into it. Thank you.

One of your very own harassing and calling women CUNTS really. Nothing racists and he throws that out there. This needs to stop and things need to get done this is on a public stream and being shared. So you might need to have a conversation with your not so finest!

Hi I am concerned that our town is being “protected” by a man that disrespects women in such a manner he needs to use this language and bully people. This is not acceptable! He should be ashamed of himself and needs to apologize to who he called such names!

Weeks wait at the only free testing site in town is unacceptable. Find them a location. Especially with IU students now needing tested. We're failing and all we have to do is give these folks a building.

Masks should be required at all city events. Why isn't this the case?

Disappointing to read that local police don't want to actually promote public health and assist with a mask ordinance. Definitely lends credence that they are only interested in heavy-handed "crimefighting" and not true public safety. Bloomington, it's time to move from a police approach to a public safety approach. You can argue against defunding the police all you want, but when police only want to "save" people with guns and force instead of public health, we're no better than those departments on the news; we're only killing people in a different way. Time to rethink the way we are caring for our community. More nurses, social workers, and compliance personnel and less bearcats, bullets, and badges, anyone? I'm not even a rabblerouser, just sick of political hypocrisy.

Really frustrating. Two different nights in a row with two different store clerks, guests allowed in Circle K on E 3rd near Park Ridge East Park without masks. Nothing said to them and they were close distance to others. Please someone give this store a call and let them know of requirement.

I just read a thing the Mayor Hamilton put out about sustainability and residents and low-income people. Bloomington has the highest rent in the state. I guess my question is, don't you see you and the city council are creating it. These new apartment buildings getting put up for the students is the problem. All of these high dollar apartments with the super high rent, hell it takes multiple people to live there so a 1,000 to $ 3,000 rent can be paid one person can't to it nobody has a incentive to do low-cost housing or not tear down low-cost housing, so high-rise expensive apartments can be put up. I just don't understand you guys are the problem you keep letting this happen year after year you look downtown all them high-end apartments that you already know a local can't pay for. It seems to me you guys just let him do it and then return you know bribery is alive and well they donate money to the city's funds so sustainability fund. Please please deny this Tell me that it's not happening that I read everyday or every other week on the newspaper

Police should wear masks, period. They are not above the law. And should know it helps. While they are at it, how about they actually enforce masks on out of town protesters who don't believe in them. Would be nice if the Mayor was in control of the officers and not the other way around.
