You just don't get it. It's not about having a "better" police nationally credentialed by a profession steeped in oppression. You don't get praise for being the top 5 percent of oppressive militarized domestic forces. Are functions of an armed police force necessary unfortunately in present day United States, yes. But should they be LEADING public safety? Absolutely not. Change starts at the top and a public safety chief, perhaps of a law background or social work or public health, not police, needs to be in charge. Social workers and resource officers are seen as LESS THAN by police, as an ACCESSORY to a primary police force. That needs flipped. We need management, particularly a chief, as a social worker for instance. Social workers know when to call on police. Police can be an ACCESSORY to social work. That's the change that is needed. Policing must become the SECONDARY profession and presence when it comes to making sure we are a safe community. Social work and related can be 24 hours just the same as police; ask a foster care case manager. This is solvable! Change the system. The expertise in the community is there.

Thank you for the awesome community fireworks display downtown! It brought neighbors out onto our porches and sidewalks to witness the display over our Near Westside neighborhood. I love the idea of continuing the fireworks display downtown in future years. It makes it so much more of a community event instead of something that happens on the outskirts of town. Chapeau to those who came up with the idea.

Your homeless people problem within the city of Bloomington is out of control. It is ruining the city an it's image. Even Inpls TV news is bashing the city for it's pathetic attempt at dealing with the issue. People feel unsafe as do local students. Who gets the blame when something terrible does occur? The mayor's office has certainly known of this problem for quite some time now. It will be the mayor's office having to answer the questions of the victims whenever something does occur. Fix it. The people of Bloomington deserve better.

Do the new water meters finally mean we can be billed by the gallon as opposed to the present archaic system of thousands of gallons, which is exceptionally adverse to water conservation incentives as well as basic economic fairness. Please say yes. It's such an easy change to make. Even X for every hundred gallons is a vast improvement and perhaps easier to transition to.

Will Mayor Hamilton sign the pledge that President Obama has asked mayors to sign to re-evaluate Bloomington's use of force policies? Thanks.
