  1. Nearly $1,300 lodging expense for Mr. Hales where as the Mayor’s lodging is about $320? Mr Hales’ accommodations were either very extravagant or he stayed much longer!! What is the real value of these meetings? How do the meetings benefit Bloomington?

  2. Notice that Alderman Lower never gets treated to a meal by the mayor or manager – either by choice, has to work for a living, or maybe he’s just persona non grata with the profligate spenders. 😉

  3. $38.75 is an awfully expensive business lunch for 2 at Rosie’s. That is unless you’re drinking as well.

    I thought there were ‘no free lunches?”

  4. I’m wondering why the taxpayers pay for an office for these people. They have all of their business elsewhere. Either get rid of the business lunches or get rid of the offices. Also, these meetings with the mayor and the alderman are nothing more than violations of the OMA. They are discussing CITY business, illegally.

  5. What’s up with Fazzini getting a free lunch on the tax payer’s dime? What’s he got up his sleeve? Another trash to treasure brain fart?

  6. Looks like every time we buy food for the Mayor – He spills it on himself and we pick up the laundry tab!
