For administration & council as budget is coming up: please let it be noted that many many citizens of this city are underpaid for the cost of living here. No only that, but inflation and rising consumer costs have made it nearly impossible to own anything or increase personal savings. This government makes up a large pool of employees in this area, along with IU and a few major companies or even Monroe County. In doing so, you continually underpay employees and justify it based on the surrounding employers’ low wages. This is UNacceptable. Many hourly positions you hire for are not with full advertised pay scales, are not union protected, and do not account for actual salaries/hourly wages that are being paid across this country in similar cost of living areas. Admin and council need to get it together and apply money to the folks you expect to keep this local economy afloat. Do Better Bloomington. Would like to know -what percentage of your employees actually live within city limits versus how many live outside of it -of those who live in city limits, how many can actually own their own home?

Very confused as to why when I have stopped in at City Hall past few days/weeks that I am being assisted by people I recognize from running different departments and assisting at other city public events. Do you not have dedicated receptionists - they clearly (since us active citizens attend city events) have a specific job in another area? Seems like a waste of resources when there are lots of complaints/requests on here that us citizens have filled out asking for help with rentals, problems with buildings, or even a complaint straight to the mayors office. Do you not have enough staff to run this city? Is this why our concerns aren’t being addressed?

To city council: we just read through some of the very biased comments and concerns on how you believe budget and goals should be approached ahead of this budget session. Why on earth would a composting program and spending money in the short term for very specific studies help our town now? All of us citizens want this place to flourish long-term as well, but we will not survive and make it to the long term if you don’t adjust your priorities for your constituents instead of your personal gain. Pay an actual LIVING wage to employees, not just department leaders - this is egregious in many areas of this town including city. Look beyond just BFD & BPD for providing incentives. Look around, city hall cannot even staff a front desk but you expect the city to run in all other areas when employees and citizens can barely keep afloat? Very tone deaf this year by way of what seems to be selfishness. Many of us are very disappointed in this misalignment of administration and council.

I do not support an increase in the local state income tax. This is money that I worked for. Not you. You do not have the right to take our money for your own agenda.

There is a Lime scooter blocking the driveway to the 6th Street Garage of the Monroe County Public Library. The garage and driveway are both used daily by our facilities and mobile outreach staff. I drive the Outreach Van and the scooter is parked in such a way that it blocks my ability to pull in and reverse the van in order to to load and unload it with materials for community members.

I come to Petition the City to Vote to petition the state to fallow suit in dealing with Antifa / BLM domestics terrorist , Florida Governor Ron DeSantis introduced new legislation aimed at curbing violent protest activities. “Combatting Violence, Disorder and Looting and Law Enforcement Protection Act”. Notably, the legislation would create a new criminal offense in the state of Indiana that would make it a crime to obstruct a roadway during a unpermitted protest, demonstration or violent or disorderly assembly. The proposed legislation would also ensure that a “driver is NOT liable for injury or death caused if fleeing for safety from a mob.“ create or refine and make clear the or a law to support law to make criminal offenses for the following activities: when 7 or more persons are involved in an assembly and cause damage to property or injury to other persons to destroy public property during a violent or disorderly assembly 1st degree misdemeanor for a participant in a violent or disorderly assembly to harass or intimidate a person at a public accommodation, such as a restaurant RICO liability attaches to anyone who organizes or funds a violent or disorderly assembly. Such corresponds with standing case law , “When a person, being without fault, is in a place where he has a right to be, is violently assaulted, he may, without retreating, repel by force, and if, in the reasonable exercise of his right of self defense, his assailant is killed, he is justified.” Runyan v. State, 57 Ind. 80; Miller v. State, 74 Ind. 1.
