Today the Pantagraph lauded the $3.8 million Bloomington is spending on streets. Seems like rewriting history so people think the streets are getting better is the goal of both Bloomington and the so called press.
Why? Because both want downtown spending, not silly things citizens want like the roads fixed!
See their story, then compare it to what Jim Karch was saying in May of 2015!
City street resurfacing tops $3.8 million this construction season

This is called perpetuating the establishment narrative. Our media here is essentially a mouthpiece for the government/business leadership.
Well, SOME streets are getting lots of attention, some streets are more equal than others… and yes, they love to crow about what wonderful things they are achieving, the Pantagraph (and the pet radio stations) are their “crowing voices” so to speak..
Actually, the resurfacing is being done on small sections of the streets not the entire streets as is implied in the article.
Yes I have noticed that too, just certain areas.
