We live just a few blocks north of Bryan Park. At 4:09AM Saturday, Jan 15 my family was woken to what sounded like 8 gunshots, followed by two more a few minutes later. These noises sounded like they originated only a couple blocks south. Then there were 2 more shots (much fainter) at about 4:19AM. I never heard any sirens. Anyone have any insight into this occurrence? What is going to be done about the current state of affairs in regards to violence and drugs in the city of Bloomington? My wife and I have been increasingly concerned with the general state of "health" in Bloomington for the last few years. We have had random weapon-bearing tweekers and would-be thieves wander/stumble into our yards and onto our porches, we have had packages stolen from porches and mailboxes, we have had items stolen from our vehicles and property. My wife even witnessed a man masturbating in public! We now have cameras set up on our property to monitor 24/7 and I have a baseball bat next to my bed that I have already had to use once to run off a potential thief. We are two productive members of the community who pay our taxes and contribute to the local economy. But, we are considering moving due to the eroding quality of Bloomington. We know many others who feel the same way. In the last week alone we have heard of at least one stabbing death and one gunshot death. And upon a bit of reading of the Bloomingtonian it appears that Bloomington is doing rather poorly overall in this category. According to BPD Chief Mike Diekhoof, from a March 2023 article in the Bloomingtonian, in 2022 in Bloomington a gun crime occurred every 2.77 days. And someone shot at someone else every 5.2 days! And this is an upward moving trend. What the hell is going on here!? The previous mayor seemed to care little about this. Is the new mayor working with you to do something about all this? What do you plan to do about it? thanks. Ian Miller

Just spoke with the county regarding issues in the ROW, blocked sidewalks, etc. (items that citizens can report and get addressed more easily within city limits, but again the city is within the county). Their stance was that any items (not within city limits) are items that only the police/sheriff would enforce. This is not how code is laid out and seems to be not the legal process in place. Can we get someone in the city to have conversations with the county on behalf of county tax payers, as Bloomington residents or even visitors for that matter are within Monroe county as well? There continues to be a deficit in response to daily issues, a default of finger pointing to other departments or endless transfers to be told only police will do anything if they have time. This is very frustrating as there continues to be no system, such a uReport, within the County to get items addressed more easily. Instead they want to continue to require account creation for them to obtain your data or require in person visits. Citizens need help with the county to improve our experience and quality of life in Monroe County. Please help facilitate this as it is going unchanged even with what limited contact citizens can make to them. Thank you!

The city of Bloomington needs to repeal its 2010 boycott of Arizona's SB 1070 on illegal immigration and join the state of Texas and defending America by making a public announcement that the city repeals its acts of constructive treason to support and invasion just like the late dirtbag judge roll via the rancher case and his unconstitutional support for open borders to support invasion
