YES – there are professional arena managers, your government chose not to talk to any of them. The current Coliseum management continues to under perform based on what citizens were told when the […]
By: Diane Benjamin Back in December I wrote about a confidentiality agreement the Clark County Park District forced John Kraft from Edgar County Watchdogs to sign. You can see it here: http://blnnews.com/2015/12/31/clark-county-park-district-not-confidential/ The Park District thought they could bury the settlement with a stupid statement signed by John. Evidently they forgot the check issued to […]
By: Diane Benjamin Justice isn’t swift. Two City lawyers showed up in court today, including the expensive guy from Springfield – Jeff Jurgens. The Coliseum had at least one lawyer present.

By: Diane Benjamin A reader sent me this picture. It’s on Hershey Road between Clearwater and Rainbow. The reader reported it’s been this way for at least 2 hours.
By: Diane Benjamin Today I was in court again with my case against the City of Bloomington concerning the Coliseum. This time the City declared they won’t fight my rights to the documents, but they don’t have them. The lawyer for CIAM must not know Executive Sessions (the City’s secret meetings) are supposed to be […]
By: Diane Benjamin Recently the wind turbines east of Bloomington have frequently been dead. See this SHORT video from a few minutes ago: The McLean County Board approved the initial wind farm on 9/20/2005. Approval included the below: Thanks to County Board member Susan Schafer for sending it to me back in 2013. Twelve years […]
Anybody know if Nora sends this out? By: Diane Benjamin The bigger government gets, the worse job they do. Accountability becomes lower and lower because they feel invincible.
