Isn’t it amazing how the City Council of both Bloomington and Normal are suddenly conservative?  Members who never met a tax increase they didn’t like, are suddenly looking for cuts to balance their budgets – you know the ole’ property values are down, incomes are down, citizens are suffering . . .

Can’t possibly have anything to do with City elections coming up!

Nah.  To be safe, may I suggest you replace sitting members in April?  Once the re-elected are safe – you aren’t.
