I know that city officials, including the mayor and deputy mayor, often appear on WGCL. I hope one day they will ask the host why the station airs Dennis Prager. He is anti transgender people, thinks unvaccinated people are treated worse than people with AIDS, thinks that global warming saves lives and thinks that Democrats want to destroy the country. I would not want to be on the air right after him and I’m surprised the mayor and deputy mayor do.

When will the food & beverage tax be ending? This was presented to fund the project for the convention center. You’ve collected the funds, now when will it end? This should not be a continual tax that you just keep coming up with projects for. If so then you falsified your presentation to get the tax to pass. Continually charging more to those trying to support local businesses disproportionately impacts lower income folks.

In response to uReport case# 178473, thank you for the information. Unfortunately, there have been collisions at that intersection and I do not understand why your department does not have records of that. I have one photo from a collision on July 27, 2021. As you can see, a COB employee responded to the scene in lieu of the Bloomington Police Department (BPD) as they were too busy. For over a year now I have raised concerns with multiple staff with the City of Bloomington. I have been told multiple times that BPD is too short-staffed to enforce traffic laws and they can only respond to when they witness one. I have also been told that speed limit signs with a display showing the radar calculated speeds do not work, that children-at-play signs do not work, and that stop-signs are not to manage speed, but to manage the right-of-way. Well, speeding motorists are impacting the right-of-way as well as the safety and well-being of life and personal property in the Maple Heights neighborhood. I find it hard to believe that the only solution is the Resident-Led Process of the Traffic Calming and Greenways Program. That would be a reasonable suggestion for community involvement if BPD was staffed enough to be able to provide what their mission value states of "to safeguard life and property..." Safeguard as a verb means to protect something from harm, and not to respond to something after the fact. I know BPD is doing the best they can but there should be more resources allocated to them so they can enforce traffic laws that safeguard life and property. I strongly hope that soon there are more resources allocated to BPD so they can increase their staffing levels and not have to prioritize everything they do. It would be great if they could have officers assigned to traffic enforcement. I worry about the future with so much development and population growth. Will Bloomington Fire Department next be prioritizing which fires they can put out? As for the included photo, that photo of the collision at 13th and Fairview was chosen to show the COB vehicle that had responded to the scene. I have others that show that where the vehicles landed directly in front of my neighbor's house where she had just an hour before been standing with her newborn baby as I walked home from a lunch-time walk. That neighbor moved out of the neighborhood shortly after and had told me one of the reasons was because of the speeding motorists. My other neighbor also submitted a uReport speaking of how they don't feel safe because of the speeding motorists. I asked my mail carrier what she thought about the motorists in the neighborhood and her response, "scary." It just takes one, you know. You may show up and monitor and that day no one speeds, but it only takes one to kill someone. I have seen one friend in a coffin, another friend who had to relearn how to read and walk as well as another loved one who had to have their entire leg rebuilt - all because of negligent motorists. It just takes one. If there are people breaking the laws, then there needs to be enforcement or it needs to be made less easy to break the law even if that impacts the law abiding people. It is like decay in your teeth. If there's no enforcement of the small laws, the problem grows. In the almost three years I have lived here, far too many people have died and been injured in this city from negligent motorists. If a police car is monitoring in an area, then motorists will eventually learn to not break the law. If there is never any consequences, then sadly people won't be respectful of their community. I do not request a reply, but I still hope this gets routed to the appropriate-to-the issue staff. Thank you for your time.

https://bloomington.in.gov/covid-19 This page seems to have been left to rot and the info there is misleading or completely inaccurate. For instance: "Effective July 1, Bloomington Transit will resume the" This appears to be from last year, I guess, judging but the bullet points that follow and do include a year. But it reads like this July (and will every year unless it's clarified). The missmatch of some dates having a year attached and other not is, frankly, baffling. "COVID-19 Press Conferences A press conference is held every other Friday at 1:15 p.m. The next event will take place on July 30, 2021." ? "The Monroe County Health Department issued mask mandate that is effective until Monroe County has fewer than 50 cases per 100,000 AND is in the blue advisory status." These seems contradicted by Mayor Hamilton's comment "We're not down below 100 or to the 50 number we were aiming for before Omicron", which makes me think we aiming for below 100 cases now and this site is outdated, but I have no idea because the info on this page is confusing and suspect. This is the COVID-19 Landing Page. This isn't an obscure page tucked away out of site somewhere. I went looking for information and it's hard to believe The City actually cares about COVID if it can't be bothered to update its own website.

Glad the mayor could make an appearance to unveil the Eagleson street sign. Hope he can both do actually do something about race relations in Bloomington. Start by investing in the places the Eagleson family honored like AME church, White Oak Cemetery and Banneker.

As I read this article GOP senators announce bill to block payments to illegal immigrants from separated families, it brought me to petition to give instruction or to inform my elected official's of our constitutional representative republic that as such the city is backing constrictive treason for the support shown in the May 17 2010 notice SB 1070 to seek to conspire to knowing back ILL -legal immigration. The Mayor has the power to start the process to repeal the notice. In doing so will help restore the constitutional order in such matters and displace the unconstitutional strive of plight of danger's of Communistic values & its sister Mob democracy which such a misapplication distorts the sovereignty of America.

I think the scooter shown in the image is improperly parked on a sidewalk in violation of the city of Bloomington's local law. If the company is not cited and fined, I'd like to receive an explanation for the reason why not within a reasonable time.
