Increase in taxes: No more new taxes! The mayor's proposed increase in the optional income tax is nothing but a money grab. Evidence is now coming out as departments are hustling to come up with ideas about how to spend the money, such as housing and transportation in addition to the climate stuff. Bloomington is not and will not change the climate. How about sound good projects and then figure out how to sell them and fund them with the public. How about looking at efficient ways of doing city business? No new taxes!!

Climate Tax: I do not support Mayor Hamilton’s proposed 37% increase to the local income tax rate to address climate change. Mayor Hamilton has stated that the additional revenue will be used for a “sustainability fund” to “mitigate climate change” and “work for climate justice.” I have no idea what he means by “climate justice,” and the notion that actions taken by a small midwestern city could have any measurable impact on changing the global climate is ridiculous. But more importantly, this proposed tax in regressive and hits people living on a fixed income and the poor the hardest. If you want to help the poor and people living on a fixed income, don’t take any more money away from them for another wasteful government spending program.

Please close City Hall to the foot traffic public IMMEDIATELY. Be on call for emergencies but staying open risks the lives of employees and visitors and acts as a giant shining beacon for other businesses in the community to stay open too and not take the virus seriously. Surely there are new steps that will be taken soon? Flatten the curve.

Are city employee lives being endangered, and those of their families? My family says federal workers have gone fully remote. Shouldn't we?

Will the Mayor be sending out a notice as to what is happening with the executive order? It's in effect tonight! Many municipal employees even have not heard still, let alone the public. Thank you!

Twice, this morning (3/25) and yesterday morning (3/24) there have been TWO workers in the cab of a city pick-up parked in the roundabout in Park Ridge. Yesterday they were waiting to mow and today they were putting yellow tape around the shelter. I appreciate the work, but do you really want two people riding around together in a city vehicle clearly not able to engage in social distancing? Why not have them drive separately? Or work separately? Neither job seemed like it absolutely had to have 2 people. If the city wants citizens to take the rules seriously, we should see city employees doing the same. And your city employees doing this type of work should be valued in the same way as your city employees who are working from home doing "higher level" work. Thank you!
