Bloomington is at a pivot point. You’ve all heard me describe pressing needs confronting us—several times. I’ll begin tonight with a different voice.

Hello. It's Mayor John Hamilton. It's Monday, July 12th, 2021, just a quick public report on the pandemic and things COVID-related. Hope you had a good 4th of July weekend. We did not have this report last weekend due to the holiday, but it's kind of that phrase, stay humble about this virus. I have to say we are pleased to continue another week with no employees sick in our employment from COVID. The numbers in our county are okay. 

Mayor John Hamilton would like to share the following statement in response to today’s news of the deaths of four members of a Bloomington family: 

Tonight focuses on twos. Two years in to this administration, two more years ahead, and our 200th anniversary.
