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.

Thank you for the quick response and repair of the crumbling pavement and holes in the street in front of our house on Tapps Turn. I wrote to you late in the afternoon and early the next morning the work space had been marked and then repaired shortly after that. We greatly appreciate this. Thanks, Steve Ulrey

Re: Case #165561 Some debris from the accident remains near the RR underpass. Trash and weeds are still on Adams, and on Fountain, and on 8th Streets. Streets near the university at least get swept. Can the City seal the streets, so the weeds won't grow?

They were at a light by 3rd St.and the city vehicle was not signaling at the intersection. The city driver then cut them off (he was on the phone). Further down by 17th St. the driver slowed down to 10 mph and as they went to pass him he started giving them "dirty looks". The city driver was in Fleet Vehicle #409 at 3:15 today.

I have lived in Bloomington the past 4 years, and have never had a run in with the police. I had been driving a nicer, 2015, Hyundai Sonata. Unfortunately I got in an accident where I have had to use a much older car. Since driving this older car I have been pulled over 3 separate times. One time was for "speeding" where I was going 35 in a 40. When I told the police officer I was going 5 under, due to traffic, he tried to tell me my license and plate were suspended. When I showed him it was not he got very frustrated. The other day I got pulled over for a headlight being out where 4 difference police cars surrounded me. I had a passenger, who was 22, and they asked him if he had been drinking and he said he had two beers and they got mad at him for legal drinking? I am the daughter of an IMPD officer and I think your police officers are extremely biased on the types of cars they pull over. I had messaged about the first offense since he illegally searched my trunk, and have yet to hear back three months later. I know police procedure, however your department does not. This is very concerning because I have been around police my entire life and have studied Criminal Law for the past 3 years. Your police need to understand the correct procedures and stop taking advantage of college kids doing nothing wrong.

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

This morning, my large recycling bin had been shoved through my lawn with such force that it left a 15" gouge. I can't imagine this was done by a person pushing the bin. I believe it was caused by the lifting arm of the truck being used to push the bin across the sidewalk. I witnessed the arm being used in this way a few weeks ago when the same bin was pushed with such force that its wheels snapped off and had to be repaired by the sanitation department. I would like someone to investigate the way the truck arms are being used and train the sanitation crews to avoid damaging property. I would also like someone to patch my lawn.

I have been using the Morton Street parking garage since August 2018. Every month I have gone into pay it via debit card and they took it every time. Since September of 2018 the parking garage has been open park pretty much do to renovations on the parking system. Meanwhile I was left paying for a parking pass for a free parking garage. The first few times I went in to pay the parking for the month they would swipe my card and then go into the system and mark me good for the month. The past few months they have just swiped my card and told me I was good. How are they supposed to know who has paid and who hasn’t if they aren’t marking it down. If it’s by card name, that’s not right because I pay for two passes under two different names. It’s a bit silly and something should be done.
