A copy of an email I just sent - CITY OF BLOOMINGTON LEGAL DEPARTMENT: I just picked up two DVDs from the Legal Department of the City of Bloomington today, and I specifically asked WHAT computer program will play them. The woman who took my payment asked someone else in the office while I was down the hall paying the fee and she told me, "The program that plays it is already loaded on it." NO IT ISN'T!! I'm at the main library trying to get both of these DVDs to play, and NEITHER OF THEM WILL. Why are you withholding the correct information from me? How come when a citizen comes to get EVIDENCE of wrongdoing by other citizens or by public employees she is given DVDS that can't easily be played, viewed and listened to on a common public computer? This happened with the VERY FIRST DVDs I got from you two years ago, even before I got the Protective Order against Georg Smith. I couldn't play those DVDs either. One guy at the library had a laptop that HAPPENED to have that computer program on it, and I saw one video but never heard it. I haven't been able to view it since. SO I'M ASKING YOU AGAIN - WHAT EXACT PROGRAM PLAYS THESE THINGS - AND WHAT COMPUTERS IN TOWN HAVE THAT PROGRAM LOADED? IF YOU CAN'T FIND ANY OTHER COMPUTERS WITH THESE PROGRAMS, THEN I'LL HAVE TO SCHEDULE TIME TO COME INTO YOUR OFFICE TO USE YOUR COMPUTERS. I HAVE TO SEE THIS IMMEDIATELY TO PREPARE FOR A COURT HEARING. These videos are EVIDENCE in several legal cases. Not giving me clear answers and this information can only be concluded to be obstruction of justice. In the meantime, I'm going to alert the judge in one of my cases that I'm not getting cooperation and playable videos from the CIty of Bloomington. It's the truth. Please reply today and tell my how you're going to fix this problem. I need to view literally 15 videos of Georg Smith violating the Protective Order, and about 4 more of other idiots in this town who've committed BATTERY against me, who can't drive a bus safely, and who've failed to keep the roads safe, causing me injury. If you don't get me the right answers your city is going to be famous for making this problem for people. I guess I'll have to propose a law to the City Council that any and all public records have to be provided in an EASILY VIEWABLE FORMAT. After all, when you get Police Reports from the Police Department, they print them in English on standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. They don't encrypt it in some obscure code. Why would you want to make it difficult for anybody? I've already been through enough abuse in this town - why do you want to add to it? You cause me MORE suffering THAT I DON'T NEED. Please get me my information TODAY. And if you don't like the idea of my using YOUR computers... I HAVE TO VIEW MY DVDS FOR COURT, so you may have to make some adjustments. I've repeatedly asked for this information over the months, and I'm out of patience.

In the Spring someone from my office could never find someone in the Morton parking garage so that she could buy the $40 parking pass. Now i am having difficulty contacting someone during business hours for the same reason. I have left 2 messages and continue to try and no one answers the phone. Who else can i call or email? My phone calls have gone unanswered. thank you, Britt Rust

Why for having such a vibrant and significant LGBT community does the City have basically no local recognition and programming? The City does a great job at promoting the Latino, black, women, children, and many other communities and groups. But as far as I know we have no LGBT affairs commission, no awards recognition, etc. Maybe I'm wrong? But none of my friends know either. It's more than about not being discriminated against, it's about celebrating a unique and important part of local culture. Thank you. Hope to see this changed. I know the mayor is a personal ally but how about showing it in office. There are so many things that can be done to do better on this front.

I hope your major is removed from office. He is a lowlife degenerate to support Antifa coming out to attack the wonderful, wholesome family of Sarah Dye. The good, traditional people are walking up and we will not let you Marxists intimidate us.

The City of Bloomington government has done a horrific job with the B-Line Trail detour due to the trail closure in Switchyard Park. But, the City of Bloomington government has a history of doing a horrific job with all things traffic, roads, and detour related, so I guess in the end: who is surprised? The detour was announced on October 23rd via the Office of the Mayor's Facebook page stating it would last for about 2 weeks. Local news sources reported on that fact as well. Now, 22 days later the trail is still closed. I had to call Parks & Rec to ask, because no updates are available online. I called because I need to get into town but the detour path is not safe. Last time I rode the detour it had a lot of gravel, sand, overgrowth, and other hazards. I do not understand why the City cannot at the least keep people updated on the closure when it goes beyond the stated 2 weeks from the Mayor's office. And, maybe going a step further, clean up the detour path? I know, I know - maintaining a multi-use path would be a lot to ask in this town.

Mister Mayor, thank you for the commitment to now have city workers out and about wear masks. It was overdue and appreciated. But how about those still working in an office? Workers are still going to meetings in the same room without masks and it's uncomfortable to watch online and I'm sure even more uncomfortable in person for those present. Have all been issued a mask to wear so this does not happen?

Isn't health guidance that those who can telecommute should? Why isn't the city doing this ---- so many people are in the office who can be working from home? :(

Quit purging the location history of the complaints for seminary park. It’s obvious the city is doing so to limit what the public can see for various political/legal reasons. Someone needs to find out who is responsible purging these reports and that person needs held accountable. This cities agenda is so one sided boardering being illegal. Your “public” meetings requiring voices and votes (parks and recreation) are only promoted and people made aware through very liberal means/programs. I’m sure someone will just delete this post almost immediately but I hope my voice gets heard to as many as possible until then.

I have called the Planning Office 3 times recently and left messages. NO ONE returns calls. I am trying to find out if you can have 2 tiny houses on your city lot? This is the back of 917 N Fairview Street taken from my Mom's house at 912 N Maple. THANKS!
