Will someone ask Bloomington why they had 904 employees in mid December? https://www.bloomingtonil.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/28863/638084456490870000
Bloomington ended the year with 820 employees, still way over the previous numbers!
COUNTY taxpayers are forced to fund the Bloomington Election Commission while having no oversight! This is taxation without representation because BEC doesn’t answer to anyone.
Green Top has been around for at least 5 years. When do the quarterly tax rebates end?
Still spiking pensions?

The police have been working under an expired contract since since April of 2020. Details of the new contract begin on PDF page 100.
Expect to hear adulation for all who participated in the negotiations – just like every other contract. Why was there no contract for close to 3 years? They better start negotiating a new contract now. This one expires next Fiscal year – it starts May 1st.

Harvard Kennedy School shows the program Gleason will attend is on-campus learning. Pretty nice to get a month in Cambridge on the taxpayer’s dime.
Why do we need offsite planning lunches at posh restaurants? Do they normally go there or just when taxpayers foot the bill?
They are entitled!
August 2015, the council approved a 10 year tax rebate for Green Top
Why?
