I believe the city of Bloomington can increase its tax revenues from various forms such as bringing in more residents and students or increasing the average spending of each resident. I am a MBA student at IU and I have a few ideas to help this beautiful city prosper.

Just noticed G5 is launched a climate dashboard for the city of Bloomington. Why don't you fix the fucking traffic lights around town so you don't literally get stopped by every single lie in a row it's in this one goes green driving the speed limit you get to the next one it goes red

Residents look to a mayor to represent them and what the city stands for. If that is standing up to hate, or for a sustainable world, the Mayor should not be too cowardice to amplify voices, instead of already chasing the next election cycle. Absolutely things like resolutions should not be priority one, but it's hard to feel safe living in a community if our mayor will turn the other way when we and/or they are being legislated against, abused, slaughtered, or otherwise harmed. How about, "The buck stops here," instead of, "Not my problem," Mayor Thompson? You're starting to sound like IU, but I suppose that's where you last held leadership. Step up for your city.

The IU President is out of control, turning the police as a military force against student residents of this city peacefully protesting for peace. Issue a statement or otherwise take action that shows the leadership of this city stands with its residents and their ability to exercise their conscientious rights. Where is our Mayor during this time of crisis? Sad leadership void.

If the Mayor truly stands with Hamas and the terrorist supporting mob she should immediately resign and take her whole staff with her. I wonder how Jewish employees of the city of Bloomington feel knowing their “leader” agrees that they should all be eliminated. It would be great to actually see a person in that office with an actual spine. If she will not resign then the taxpayers in Bloomington should immediately begin the efforts for a recall. And all of the signs that say no place for hate should all be taken down. Kerry has praise for hate and racism.

So now the city council joins the country and flag hating Mayor in their support of a terrorist mob who wants to see ALL Jews eliminated. What a surprise! All of you sit on your Lilly white asses and defend terrorist and groups that support terrorists (Like Black Lives Matter). But you do nothing for the citizens of Bloomington except increase the burden on them for EVERYTHING. As a city employee and a proud Veteran, I cannot put into words my disappointment and outrage at the people who are supposed to be leaders of this community. You all are a joke and should resign in shame. My wish as someone who proudly served and who comes from a long line of military service would be that all of you and the childish mob on campus would be rounded up and flown to Palestine and left! Then you wouldn’t have to live in such an awful country. “When you listen to fools, the mob rules”

Hello, I am writing in support of local urban agriculture. I was very glad to discover GardenQ at 2110 E Covenanter and want to express my support for community based agriculture and education. I recently wrote about strategies for sustainable food policy (“Putting Food in the Driver’s Seat: Aligning food systems policy to advance sustainability, health, and security,” in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, September 2023), and I believe their efforts are forward-facing in making Bloomington a hub and example for urban agriculture. Thank you.

Hello. Is there anything the City is planning for Pride this month residents can participate in? Perhaps CFRD is organizing something I hope? Thank you! It feels the community is being attacked more than ever so hopefully there are some ways to celebrate our existence in one of the only towns in the State that may do so officially (fingers crossed).

Saw someone yell at/harass a city employee for being properly pulled over with flashing lights and hazards while picking up trash signage along the road and in sidewalk area after the storm, and now that everything has calmed down I wanted to report that here. As a resident, I would like to know that the administration is supporting these civil servants that are overworked and underpaid and doing the tiring, thankless work that administrations and councils make their jobs. Are you all making it clear to those bad actors in town that behavior such as that is not tolerated? With doxing online and such short tempers, things seem to only continue to escalate with those who are displeased with government in general. Are the City workers we need being protected in their day to day? I would like to thank those cleaning up the roads, reducing needless signage and trash, and ensuring everything stays clean and out of the storm system. All those many groups residents see out every day seem to go unnoticed but are so crucial to maintaining Bloomington. Thanks for your consideration and time.
