52,000 dollars for a Night Mayor (Nightmare more like it). Thanks for nothing B-town. More like IU Student Housing City, IN. I suppose Mayor "Default" Hamilton can't function after 5pm or he'll turn into a pumpkin.
I don't see the point in using this reporting system AT ALL if issues sit around for a month and no one takes care of the problem. See issue 169137 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=169137
Ref: Saturday Farmer's Market I implore the mayor of Bloomington to not resort to the extreme action of closing the Saturday Farmer's Market as a solution to calming the tensions around a particular market stand at the farmer's market. Bloomington's farmers market is at its peak time of year late July/early August. I have arranged for out of town company to be in Bloomington this weekend in large part because the market yields such a wonderful market Saturday dinner. I myself am making a trip into town from DC for the weekend to host my out of town guests. The city MUST find a less destructive way of calming the tensions than that of closing the market. Sincerely, Beth Plale A citizen of Bloomington with residence on Southeast side of town
Hello City of Bloomington - I want to suggest that you learn about and advocate for the City to join the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) - https://www.racialequityalliance.org. It's a national network geared to local and regional government agencies. We know white supremacy is a systemic problem, not unique to B'town. The City should work in coalition and learn from other govt. entities committed to progressive social change. Mayor Hamilton and other City leaders know about GARE but have never joined. We're not a progressive city. BUT we could make a serious move towards being one if we take bold, strategic action. Joining GARE is a start. Thanks for taking seriously this suggestion. Sincerely, Trish Kerle'
East/west traffic improvements needed badly for years now
Hello, my name is Ben. I am incredibly disappointed in the Bloomington community for housing an abusive business like Anthony's Pets in our College Mall. Recently, a petition has brought to light testimonials describing the neglect and suffering the animals at this location experience. From feces covered cages to animals being preened with steroids to appear healthy, it is evident that Anthony's keeps these animals in deplorable conditions. This progressive community should not and does not support this business existing in our city. I'm urging you to take Anthony's out of the ever so popular College Mall. Thank you! I've attached the petition below. Petition: https://www.thepetitionsite.com/985/255/434/shut-down-anthony-pets-now/
Disappointed in this city for keeping Anthony's Pets open. This city and the people that occupy it are more progressive than this. Do better.
The pets at the bloomington mall is not okay. The fact that they give this animals steroids to “appear happier” should be illegal. These dogs will experience abuse and neglect if we allow this to continue. This should be shut down along with all the other puppy mills who neglect these animals just for profit.
Anthony’s pets at college mall is a disgrace and abusive towards animals. It should be shut down immediately. It is concerning how long this has been going on without someone truly doing something about it.
the business called Anthony’s needs to be shut down in the college mall. they are abusing so many animals that don’t deserve it and they need to be moved to somewhere else. the poor things are so mistreated and need help. please help them
