  1. To Rubber Stamp 7,� $74,670 suppose to be spent on� ? surely the Bloomington City �engineers could done the study,at a far cheaper price!!Start thinking of Bloomington Taxpayer’s when throwing money around !! Bill Dodson

    1. I agree with baps1304. What exactly do all of the city employees do ? It seems every action requires an outside consultant to do the work ! What are we paying these employees for ?

  2. Time to find out who really runs this Farnsworth group, and who in the city council the group really runs.
