Last night in the pouring rain we hit a pot hole that was full of water and it flattened our driver side front tire and we will know later today if it damaged our wheel. Our car is only about 3 weeks old. Purchased new at Toyota. What is our recourse on the pothole Pothole located between CVS (South) and Chase Bank (South). What is our recourse on this unrepaired pothole that damaged our tire and possibly our wheel on my new car?

THIS WAS TO GO TO MS MCKENNY AT HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSON THERE SITE CONTACT NOT COMING UP, NEITHR IS MAYOR OFFICE PLEASE FORWRD To LEGAL AID JUNE 20 15 I requested your services once more regardind CFC Properties beaurocratic abuse of my current lease that owner of 200 S Madison St #209. Ms wenzler did contact someone at CFC on 8th Street, reqarding their demand of instant payment of 225.00 from my daughter Kathy for an unsubstantiated claim and action against a harmless insect their hired dog handler claimed his dog smelled. Mrs Wenzler appears to favor the CFC lease clauses over the HAP Title 42 Federal Housing Agreement between the owner and the housing section 8 subsidy which pays the tenants rent ? It is my understanding that the HAP Agreemet subhumes the local contact lease, which is not a standardized lease, prepared by CFc Lawyers to protect their CFC Properties, a subdivision of Cook Group, a 1.6 Billion investment group of unkinonw address or owenrship ,as is the CFC properties. That is the value to determine through legal aid services state supported by grant, to provide legal services to the 'poor', and seeking protection of her housing rigths through counsel application of the laws governing her existance at apt 209 these past 18 months. Tenant does not have a copy of the HaP agreement between housing and CFC that pays the rent under Federal Title 42. She was under the understanding that this agreement has a specific number of Complex requirements to be met by the Owners of the rental units that they are required to compy with in order to receive rental subsidy from the tax funds applied to section 8 programs. And that one of these clauses should cover the complex responsiblity to keep the premises they are renting for profit, free of insects and other harmful building pests. This complex apparently has a contract agreement with a company owned by a Young of Michigan which calls itself 'yes' and maintains offices in Bloomington on Second Steet near the ES Electrical services etal. This company under contract to the CFC properties not the tenant, has not appeared to spray the complex here ,of 100 apartments on a regular basis since i have moved in. However they have a year ago, heat treted three apartments in the a and c buildngs by throwing out the tenants, and placing a heat blower though a window from the outside of the building which is highly noticabe, and there fore there are or were bugs in the building ,know to CFC for years if not Months. Of the 33 complexes in bloominton city ,I believe, that have been approved for section 8 subsidy payment from the federal treasury, I believe all are regularly sprayed their premisis for pests, and this cost is born by the complex or the government. This CFC apparently feels it may receive government tax money and remain out of compliance with the rest of the city complexes with regard to resonponsibility to keept their premises free of pest as best controlled. The lawyer with legal aid ,thus far seems willing to advise the Complex residential leasing agent, ms Rudnak ,that tenants hold a protection in state law since 99 that does not permit them to: lock out the tenant, confiscate tenants goods, threaten tenant with letters in the door enter the premisis without a notice to tenat give the master key to the complex apts to annonymous workmen employed with 'Yes' company, collect money from relatives inquiring as the nature of the abuse they are applying, and not notifying tenant or relatives of the programs or availablity of their lease clauses of the tenants responsibilty to pay their hired control progam. The Lawyer ms Wenzler sites a bloomington ordinace saying this ordinace requires the owner to spray for pests, but makes no mention who should pay for this ordinace enforcement which has as yet not been produced as to coverage or effect. She also state that a section of the CFC lease signed by tenant in January 14 and continued on Jan 15 and this year, as originally made on move in ,that a division of this lease [4] allows the owner to pay for pest or other repairs from the deposit of first months put down on move in. This provision from 2 years ago, would naturally not be in the brain tip of a tenant after this amount of time. However the resident manager and leasing agent this Rudnak did not advise the Inquirer, My daughter kathy of this lease or any other lease arrangments between herself and the owers. In fact she did not even identify herself to the inquirer kathy, but did tell her she was required to pay out of pocket 225.00 on the spot to keep her mother safe? This is criminal shake down used by the mob for centuries, and this poor young working woman of 57 years of age, paid this person from her debit card, recieved only a reciept for the 225 without any substaintiation of what it was for. As the lease CFC was not abided by, their own sections, this woman ,I believe ,was not qualified to begin with. The demand for immediate payment from a complete stranger to her for this kind of money for an unidentified service, and thus kathy was 'suckered' what does a billion dollar group member need 225.00 from a stranger for? drugs or buying illegal guns to create murder an maymen . Legal aid lawyer has so far made no effort to obtain the ceo or or board of this cfc propeties, their contact witht this 'yes' company ,their attorneys who prepared this cfc lease, to protect their company interests, or the HAP agreement from housing, which tenant was not been provided on entry in 2013. They need to complete an investigation of the existing and extensive laws, state, federal and contract, which should control the renting of these properties, so tenant has knowledge of the persons and agencys who control her life and have the ability though negligence, ignorance ,greed manipulation and political motives ,to cause her and her goods ,and now her family, bodily, economic, anxiety and distress, and put her in jeprody of distruction ,including, health and life of their victims the tenants. They create battlefield conditions for the tenants, rather than being honest with these residents as to their rights and needs. As to the bloomington city ordinace, which are unchecked ,they are unjust laws ,where they attack a particular natural life form for distruction and demand a real estate developmemt anialate a bug or else. What is the or else, cyclone b in the shower, and let us have your teeth and gold at the door. This is natsi docrine and hitlerism hysteria. If the city damands an ordinace to eradicate species created by the maker called God ,they must bring their own poison with their own money and not put the burdon of their desires to kill on the rest of the population who disagree with this holistic atitutude. This particular bug ,attacked by humans in bloomington rental units, and that may only be low income rental units, not the 1000 a month jobs that allow pets- seems to be a member of the 'climet lectularius' which does not seem to have a natural preditor listed in its life cycle, and this not probable . what is probable is that this bug, which was a tree bug in natural setting climbed the tree bark ,sucked blood from birds and monekys living in the trees and was then eaten by a annonymous preditor ,which we probaly have made extinct ,thus creating a surplus of bed bugs not gobbled up in their natural enviornment and having simply found shelter in the two by four and plywood dwellings created by cutting down their forests to build developments, and leaving the creature in the developers new and expensive complexes to survive. These bug as well ,like all insects known to man ,build resistance as do virus and bacteria to chemicals used to treat them. The adult treated may die, but the second or third generation they have produced has a natural antibody immunity to these spray. Therefore the spraying done and paid for may be useless ,and it may just as well not affect the bugs in future leaving a pattern for man of constantly changing of chemical compositons to spray dwellings to rid this pest from their wood environment they occupy, and its profitable apartments. Therefor it is unrealistic for the CFC to expect a tenant to continiously pay large sums of money to it, for its hiring of a insectiside company like YEs. or Terminex or any other. If they hire a company and contract with them without the tenant being listed as a owner/ occupier as well, that contract is between the CVC company or Group and the Yes pest sprayer. The tenants did not hire the Yes company or have any deed to the property declaring them owners thereto, or any investment money as in cooperatives to give them stock holding in CFC properties. Therefore the probablity that this section 4 CFC deamaned for payment is not legally inserted to begin with, unless they have the tenants all of them, as a collective group, listed as partial owners of the real estate complex. However the immediacy of taking Kathys mortage money to help me survive a few days can be immediatley relieved by Legal Aid demanding this Ms rudnik credit Kathys 225.00 back to her debit account ,and place this deamanded charge to myself ,under section 4, CVC Lease, and remove it from the original deposit of 455.00 us ,made on move in. This is the procedure she should have followed when kathy asked her, assuming it was she, the problem of need to pay this fee immediatly arose I image her motivation was simlpy greed and avarice ,as the deposit plans of CFC would be naturally ,to keep this money on move out claiming damages without proof, as is customary in bloomington corporate complexes, like arbor glen ,and she wanted more money. The bilking of passerby Kathy, so they could keep the last months rent intact. why. That is the question What is the motivation these people follow is it evangalistic religion, military malitas , female supremancy, politics or simply a desire to harm an ethnic person they dont like . I aint black I aint Italian I aint muslim, but I am catholic Irish descent from ulster ,and they may not like ethnic Irish we have no information we can prove. The nature of the tactic applyed however in this case, suggests a collusion between company to harm and distroy CFC-Yes. perhapes duke energy . Thus killing off the enemy without getting caught. And being well paid to do it. Because I am 78 years old, and not strong enough anymore, to physically resist these hate crimes and petty thefts ,and mob style criminal intent, I am vunerable to these attacks as they are trying to accomplish distuction and theft by annonymous abuse, and creating fear and anxiety. The 3rd part Legl Aid need to address in the immediacy for my economic safty and security in the homeland ,is their ability to repeat the crime of dog- accuse -spray and charge just rendered and still not resolved within a few weeks or month creating as countinuation of the orignal abuse now ongoing. I see nothing in the CFC lease that denies the complex from continiously bombarding the tenants with demands for payment and continiously spraying their targeted apartments . If this protection is not offered in th HUD/ HAP agreemnts to protect the Poor from economic exploitation and disasterous death alway nearby, the victim is subject to a pattern of continious terrorism from these juvenile types . I have no paper which states that CFC will not repeat the bombardment in a day or two, and legal aid need so to have a written paper from these exploiters, that they will not try the crime again in future. Or that the govenment will pay for their criminal exploitation under the 'what do i care' phylosphy con in america that your not paying for it. The taxpayers are. By govenment grant. A Ms Keck, employed by Centerstone, a Tennesee psycological company ,tells kathy orally, i guess they have telephone communication, I dont know ,but that a grant can be obtained, either by the individual, or a company to cover this spray charge, and I am supposed to go down to her and get these application. In the first place, Ms Keck social worker is not on a walk in basis an appointment has to be made, and that may take month I have i hope, requested an explantion of her announcement, that a grant form can be filled out, and if there is such a form ,she can post it to me online or send it to me in the us mails. I dont think individuals in this country have any rights to a grant, except the student doing advanced research in science. I imagine from past experience with ms Keck, that she means the township Trustee help. I do not qualify, or need the township trustee services now, or last year to pay rent, come up with the deposit or buy food. and I doubt the township trustees are authorised to pay bug sprayers and dogs at their income level 225,00 got 25 minutes is worse than doctor O D with medicade, and the comptuter service retail of 99.00 an hour. But since she told Kathy this, she should follow through with the paper application ,if one exists. As legal aid is a state funded help agency with a cause to be sure these citizen basic rights are complied with, it is not qualified to obtain comspensation ,or remove the defects as they stand. Neither are the existing elitist govenment. Therefor, we must work around these distructive forces and compromise to stay alive. The spray used was unknown to the annonymous sprayer working for Yes company of Michigan, but did know what product retail name called transport This comes up on google as Transport Micron Insectiside consiting of a bifentharin/ actamiprid prepared by FMC Agricaultural Solitions, and used primarily for field spraying and fruit spraying to keep down insects who live on these crops. It is listed as a carsinogn and appoved by the EPA. The dosage is not given on line nor the time it remains in effect, and if it is water soluble etal. Therefore it is not a threat to public health, as are misquitos ticks ,ants, fleas and flys etal . crickets and locusts may be killed by it as well as the near extinct sarving birds, who naturally feed on these sparyed creatures. If ms wenzler can induce this manager to return kathys 225.00 us to her bank account and take her demanded charges from the 455.00 last months rent deposit hold and will agree to refrain from any repeat or follow through of the alleged bug problem, and will accept the July rent as required in the current lease ,the immediate threat to safty, goods and person will be relived, except for any payment for future sprays. This CFC must have a board of directors behind the employees on 8th street and it must have a retained legal firm, that can be delt with reguarding the future and interpretaion of the tenants rights. I cannot afford to live in a places where these extra add on charges are planned upon me, and I do need a security of tenure at a fixed rate in conformity with my limited money income. Thus it is probably more secure to try and find lodging outside the city of bloomington, where bugs are not in city manadated ordinances. I also would like to know the background on the dog hander and his team ,and their identity, as well as the persons who run this CFC properties ,and what their structuer is , and who licenceses their business, state or city or federal governments. There is no information on their web site, an also if they use the sniffer dog in all 8 of their rental complexs scattered over the city ,or if just bicycle is targeted, and if I myself was targeted . If they sprayed 5 or 6 apts on monday past, that would be over 1000 dollars for 6 hours of work and no one know how much the 'yes' pays wholesale for chemicals, both of which are on amazon .com to determine a 225.00 charge for a prodcut they paid 50 cents for, is fraud. This particular bug, like ebola, seems to be a war propaganda bug, the military uses to create hysteria in an enemy before it is attacked. This created fear of a harmless situation is a wr tacktic . I am not giving a notice that I am willing to end the present lease, but thinking ahead, that it may not be wise to renew the exising lease in january '16 if I live that long. The cost of looking for an apt in bloomington is also an expense not availabe to the low income group, young or old need to contact each of the section 8 complexes listed want a 25 or 30 dollar fee to check the credit of the applicant before they give you the application. This for 33 coplexs is $850.00 ,a thousand dollars to look for a corporarte apt. This is what is called unfair and price gouging There is no solidarity in the us There is only survival of the fittest and the money we have is printed 24/7 under the present administration, so it if valueless. jd 20 '15 judidonnelly bloomington indiana 47404 judiann22@gmail.com PS I woke up at 5am this day and Fitzgerald 'Great Gatsby' in in the head with the Daisy protection by Tom, when she kills a poor woman ,hit and run, and this is the attitude and law that applies. They are very careless people', and aint we got fun. I have the book but no time to read it over, and kathy is a doer not a reader, so cfc needs to return her cash. I think it would be cheaper for the Company to allow the tenants to pay the water bill very month and they pay their pest control . 'In the meantime in between time, aint we got fun. jd And what 'ill I do when you are gone from me, o what 'ill I do What 'ill i do. Nothing like a song before breakfast.

From Complainant Davon Patton: Hello, I contacted the NAACP about a retaliatory arrest for the Education Department and my accusations of police misconduct in 2018 and was advised to contact you once the dispute with the school was adjudicated. After doing some research on my claims the statute of limitations starts on the date of the occured action. For example; the statute of limitations on my false arrest claim began to accrue when i was arrested. The only claim that begins to accrue after the charges are dropped is malicious prosecution as one of the elements is a termination of a prosecution in my favor. I am preparing to file a suit pro se while my claims are still fresh but would like assistance finding a pro bono or contingency based lawyer and a statement from the NAACP in support of the lawsuit. My claims are as follows: 1. Free speech retaliation (Denying my petition for reinstatement in March 2018 was out of Retaliation for whistleblowing and accusations of discrimination and police misconduct) 2. Violations of Title IV of the Civil rights act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation act of 1974(Denying my petition in March 2018 was discriminatory) 3. Spoliation of Evidence(The IUPD omitted exonerating evidence from discovery) 4. Perjury (The IUPD committed perjury by including false statements in a probable cause affidavit and showed reckless disregard for the truth) 5. Defamation (The IUPD and university officials defamed me of my character by lying about the emails to the department of education and by filing false charges against me) 6. False Arrest (The University had me arrested on a false arrest warrant alleging intimidation for sending the provost a Kanye West Song) 7. Retaliatory arrest (I was arrested in June of 2018 for engaging in free speech and federal protected activities) 8. Retaliatory prosecution (I am being prosecuted out of retaliation for free speech and engaging in federal protected activities 9. Vindictive Prosecution (I was arrested and prosecuted because of racial animus). 10. Intentional Inflection of emotion distress 11. Abuse of Legal Process (I was prosecuted for illegal motives) 12. obstructing a pending proceeding before Congress or a federal administrative agency(I was arrested out of retaliation for the department of education) 13. conspiracy to injure using unlawful means(school has letter from therapist talking about how I’ve recovered from the trauma of being wrongfully arrested in 2016 University again wrongfully arrests and prosecutes me in 2018) Claims waiting to be filed: 1. (Malicious prosecution will be amended to complaint once charges are dropped at the time of this complaint my lawyer is getting ready to file a motion to dismiss on multiple grounds) 2. I am still researching other possible claims A refresher on my story can be found here local groups such as the Bloomington DSA, YDSA Bloomington, and Btown Antifa have shared the story aswell: https://bloomingtonsolidaritynetwork.tumblr.com/post/176958755178/who-will-survive-in-america Those CC'd are those who you had CC'd in an earlier email to me, Vauxx Booker, and Kevin Brown an IU professor who is suing the IMPD.

It is my understanding, that the Bloomington Recruiting officers have had multiple incidents with unauthorized/unethical relationships with High School Students, within the surrounding Indiana school district. There has been issue's coming out of IU Campus, Bedford High School, Bloomington South High school, and Brown County High School. Recruiters are being allowed to enter these High Schools (some through the JAG program) others through recruiting events.and through this events, they are able to nurture unauthorized relationships with the high school students during instructional time. It is my understanding that the teachers and staff were notified of the inappropiate conduct but nothing has been done about. As a parent, it is concerning that we are "forced by law" to send our children to school where these adults are being given repeated access and opportunty to our young girls.

The current resident at 3508 E. Park Lane (Bloomington, 47408) is running a business in a residential dwelling. Besides untidiness and noise in the front yard, this individual stores equipment and materials in the open. He parks his vehicles and trailers on the street, effectively disabling a lane, which not only causes congestion but generates conditions for an unfortunate accident. He has now expanded his business to two trailers, worsening traffic issues and general safety in a residential area. This business has become a nuisance to Park Ridge neighbors and we hope the City of Bloomington takes prompt action.

This complaint was issued to the Monroe County Branch of the NAACP BY Mr. Marlon Smith. December 3 2021 between 4p-4:30pm my 11 year old son was physically assaulted by a school bus driver for mccsc transportation the incident happen while my son was aboard the school bus in route home and the approximate location/place at the time of the incident are streets Leighton and Wickens(The Highlands),however immediately after learning of the incident I headed for mccsc school transportation fast as I could drive, calling 911 in route.BPD officer Tibbs and BDP officer Kruse responded to the call.Although the incident happened in vicinity to where Monroe County Sheriff Department would respond a Bloomington Officer responded and handled the proceeded to perform an investigation.Officer Tibbs myself Lucas Smith,Noah Smith,mccsc Brad Lucas and transportation supervisor were all in a room at mccsc transportation department. Officer Tibbs interviewed my children.The exact day of the incident December 3 2021 Officer Tibbs said he would not file charges on the bus driver "without" 1.examining my son injury for any sign of bruise/marking from the bus driver grabbing my son 2.Without speaking to the school bus driver at all 3.Without interviewing any witnesses/students from the school bus who actually observed the incident besides my children 4.Without verifying if there was video footage available 5.Without ever seeing medical documentation related to my son injury from health care physician Brad Lucas and other staff at mccsc never once showed concern for my son injury they didn't ask to see the area on my son leg that the bus driver injured and they never had the driver submit to a drug screen to see if he see if he was under the influence.I was told by Brad Lucas school bus driver that assaulted my son was allowed to take the bus home on weekends and so he never did arrive at the mccsc transportation office while I was there December 3 2021 and I was there at least 2 hours.On December 3 2021 As far as I know Brad Lucas,mccsc transportation supervisor had not spoke to the driver and neither did officer Tibbs interview the driver on this particular day.Brad Lucas told me that he would review video footage over the that weekend December 4th 2021 Officer Tibbs winding down his interview with my children without asking to see any physical evidence of the assault said he would not file charges on this driver this is Jeff Hauswald school district and he isn't doing anything.December 6 2021 mccsc school bus transportation told me there was no video of the incident although supposedly all busses are equipped with the latest state of the art safety and video surveillance to protect our children. DCS in involved however DCS is doing a extremely terrible lazy job.Althought the driver admitted to physical grabbing my son to Department of Children Services the DCS case worker Trina Staten is telling me that without video footage of the incident she can't prove the driver had malicious intent.He grabbed my son near his genitals and DCS caseworker is saying she doesn't know if there was malicious intent.The bus driver isn't supposed to touch the kids period in general they are not supposed to touch kids and this bus driver not only touched my son he assaulted him and nobody is doing anything and I strongly feel the driver did this and felt comfortable enough to do it is because my son is black and as well law enforcement feel they don't have to respect an African American or my family its like they just tell us get over it and deal with it.Officer Tibbs so much as told me that it seemed like the driver was dealing with a situation on the bus as if that justify grabbing my son between his legs hard enough to cause bleeding.My son is bi sexual and just was starting to be comfortable with who he is and understanding what he identify with and this driver doing something so heinous is uncalled for and my son needs therapy and further medical attention.I have called the Bloomington Police Department to speak to Officer Tibbs shift supervisor several times and not once did a supervisor contact me the bus driver who identity I do not know could very wheel still be driving school bus with student aboard.On December 3 2021 the day of the incident as I was in my vehicle leaving the mccsc transportation department I clearly saw Brad Lucas talking to officer Tibbs who by then was in his patrol car.Although I don't know what they were discussing it looked damned suspicious and definitely a conversation outside of the one we all had inside the mccsc transportation .Please help cause they are just trying to blow me off and sweep this matter under the rug they don't give a damn about my son or what he suffer. I'm very disappointed its sad that all the resources and advocate supposed to be for children not even doing anything and this driver who identity I still don't know could very well be driving school bus with students still he never submitted to a drug and alcohol screen following the incident and this is something DCS should have even checked for drugs in the bus driver system.The bus driver was white and my son is black so of course the mccsc or police not doing anything they lied to DCS and just moving on.Im a black man and had I been that driver and touched a white kid I'd definitely loose my job they would throw me under the jail with several felony charges on me and I'd have to submit to a drug screen.This man not only assaulted my son he basically groped and molested him and nobody doing anything Thank you Marlon Smith 812 272 2208

The Royal Toyota South car lot has a loud speaker that projects its phone ringing for the whole world to hear. I am more than 1,800 feet away from the car lot, through the woods, and can hear the phone ring while in my house listening to music. Between 3:45pm and 4pm today, it rang 12 times. I've read the applicable section of the municipal code, 14.09.030(c)(4). The language that I find applies is, "the sound produced persists . . . intermittently for a period of at least fifteen minutes and can be heard outside of the immediate premises from the location." I have reported this noise violation multiple times with no resolution. Is the solution that I call the police every time the car lot is a nuisance? I do not want to waste the police's limited resources on something that should be easily resolved administratively by the city government (and with technology; can the car lot get a cell phone, a pager, an answering machine, something?). uReport Case #166220 did get referred to the police, who referred the case to city legal in January of 2019. The phone has continued to ring since that time. Can we finally get this issue resolved and bring some peace and quiet to the south side from this incessant noise violation from the car lot? Thank you for your help.
