By: Diane Benjamin On March 31st I gave you the budget history since Tari was elected Mayor: https://blnnews.com/2016/03/31/in-honor-of-taris-re-election-bid/ There was very little discussion last night before the budget passed as proposed – 6- YES to 2- NO. David Sage was first – he’s very concerned but voted YES anyway. Keep listening through Jim Fruin’s comments. […]
These pictures are from Tuesday night outside the BCPA. A Town Hall meeting was being conducted by 4 Bloomington Aldermen. See the original story here: blnnews.com/2015/09/02/4-ward-meeting-the-report/
By: Diane Benjamin It’s funny how the bird-cage liner can count the crowd accurately when it’s liberals holding the meeting. Yes, there were around 100 citizens at the BCPA last night for a Town Hall meeting held by Aldermen Sage, Buragas, Schmidt, and Black. What their report omitted was at least 10% were of them […]
By: Diane Benjamin Alderman Lower had a Town Hall meeting last week. 104 citizens showed up to listen and voice their opinions. It got rowdy when citizens loudly objected to flamingos when they have sewage in their basements! funny how the bird-cage liner didn’t report it.

By: Diane Benjamin These three Aldermen are going to hold a budget discussion on January 27th. http://www.cityblm.org/index.aspx?page=17&recordid=3139 (Maybe they read BlnNews, even though publicly they deny it) Remember last year? Did you attend one of these discussion and make your voice heard? Did you say “RAISE MY TAXES”? If that’s what you said, you got […]
by: Diane Benjamin Petitions were filed today to put a referendum on the March PRIMARY ballot to concentrate the power in Bloomington in the hands a of a few elitist. Fazzini wants the unions and the wealthy to be able to buy seats so any dissent is abolished and average citizens won’t be able to […]
by: Diane Benjamin Contrary to the belief of Rob Fazzini, he can not under the law declare himself a private citizen, then work with 2 other Council members and include the Mayor’s email address on correspondence without violating the Open Meetings Act. The Attorney General is now investigating their attempt to change the Bloomington City […]
by: Diane Benjamin I hear Rob Fazzini already has people going door-to-door getting petitions signed to steal the City Council. He wants a modified Ward system where some members are elected at large, the remaining Wards would be huge. The effect is to take away your alderman, the one person who represents your section of […]
