What you are doing to Schooner Creek Farms is absolutely embarrassing and goes against everything America stands for! I hope she sues you for violating her American rights!
Hi, New York resident, from Michigan, educated in Ann Arbor, just read the NY Times piece on the arrest at the Farmers' Market of the IU prof protesting the "white supremacists". Might I please commend the members of the Bloomington Police for their conduct that day and every day. You make me proud. We were the anti-Vietnam generation. Years without a culture of Lessons Learned, only affluence, has given a culture that doesn't work together. You must police a culture of opinions + orifices that does not build a thing except a self-image. Know that we need you and walk with you. You strengthen me to do my part to build the nation you protect. May God bless you. We are with you.
You folks are disgusting for promoting White Supremacy in the name of the 1st amendment and arresting people who actually are using the 1st amendment for a good reason. I hope you get all the damnation you deserve.
Bloomington Parks Department violated Indiana University professor Cara Caddoo's right to free speech and protected white supremacists instead.
Farmers Market
I would love to know when you plan to put a stop to the “No space for hate” Antifa group that is ruining our town and has already ruined the farmers market. They are nothing more than bullies and quickly becoming more of a terrorist group than anything relating to peaceful protest. They are harassing citizens of Bloomington. Even showing up at their place of work to terrorize them if they think their beliefs don’t align with the groups. Most often without justification. I don’t agree with Schooner Creek Farms belief either, but this group is completely out of control and something needs to be done about it sooner than later before we end up with someone getting killed.

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.
I understand that we are following a stay at home order. Yet when I went for a run today I saw guys working on construction at the City's Switchyard park and many other sites across the city, trees are being trimmed on many roads in the city, and near the Kroger on South Walnut the tire store was open, the verizon store was open, of course the Kroger was open, and the daycare center up the street had a bunch of cars and kids playing in their playground. What's going on? It is disconcerting to say the least. thank you.
