By: Diane Benjamin Follow up to this story: https://blnnews.com/2020/08/11/leroy-tyrant-alert/ Yesterday Mayor Dean posted this on Facebook: Was he trying to mislead citizens? Did he want to make sure nobody showed up to object? How many citizens thought it really was going to get tabled? “Will” must have other meanings than “will”. If the Mayor wanted […]
By: Diane Benjamin The conversation is continuing on the post Chris Koos made to Facebook. See the original story: https://blnnews.com/2020/07/19/koos-out-of-touch-or-out-of-his-mind/ Below are excerpts, Joel Studebaker got into lots of topics. The one that interested me was the empty first floor at 1 Uptown Circle. Note Cheryl Gaines claims renting it is up to the owner […]
By: Diane Benjamin Why would the mayor of any Town post this: He posted it Saturday night, if you want to see all the responses go to his Facebook page. I will just pick out a few: I don’t see where Koos ever answered any of the questions, there are plenty more including a comment […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Mayor decided to post on Facebook yesterday: I guarantee he isn’t suddenly MAGA and voting for Trump. Two of the responses are perfect: Koos did have a couple of supporters: I will let the guy that helped win WWII respond for me: . . . . . . .
By: Diane Benjamin People like to send me items from Facebook they think I need to see. I appreciate it! Some of these things I think you need to see too. Therefore I will post items for those of you not on Facebook. Even if you are on Facebook you might have missed these. Some […]
By: Diane Benjamin Koos posted this on Facebook a little before 4:00 pm: In one brief statement the Mayor of Normal has insulted anyone living in his City who is Pro-Life. Divider in chief?

By: Diane Benjamin Part 1 See Part 2 here: https://blnnews.com/2018/08/30/part-2-nikita-richards/ See Part 3 here: https://blnnews.com/2018/08/30/part-3-nikita-richards/ This was the job Nikita used to have, maybe still does: Nikita’s LinkedIn page shows NDR and Running for McLean County Clerk, but doesn’t mention she works for the City of Bloomington: There is a description of what NDR Communications does […]
By: Diane Benjamin At 9:26 last night Chris Koos posted this to Facebook: Why does the left always call us a democracy? We aren’t a democracy, that means mob rule. Somebody wants your bike, the mob can vote to steal it from you. That’s democracy. We are a Republic where we elect people to represent […]
By: Diane Benjamin Quality of Life. Economic driver. Government thinks they create prosperity, the opposite is true. They redistribute your money to their preferred providers for services they want. Essential services, like fixing the roads, are immaterial. The Normal Town Council unanimously agreed to spend $47,000 on a study that will say exactly what they […]
By: Diane Benjamin Facebook has been in the news lately for blocking conservative posts. Need proof? Except nobody reported the post. It was auto-reported to Facebook. In other words, FACEBOOK reported this post to itself. As an Admin on the site I can go ahead and approve the post if I want. Meanwhile, nobody in […]
By: Diane Benjamin I really hope Nora Dukowitz isn’t getting paid by taxpayers today. Her social media sites have under gone some changes. I’d hate to think taxpayers are paying for her personal activity, or maybe it isn’t personal? Luckily, I have screen shots of everything! The three Facebook pages “Liked” by Nora Katherine are […]
By: Diane Benjamin Nora Dukowitz was hired by the City of Bloomington to be the Communications Manger. Why Bloomington needed one is still a mystery. Hales claimed in this Pantagraph article that Nora would play a critical role in outreach to citizens, he also stated she would use social media to engage citizens: http://www.pantagraph.com/news/local/government-and-politics/city-hires-communications-manager/article_f4bfe4e6-ec94-5cf7-a2c7-5c8a58a36771.html I […]
Sold their own country out by tying their need for workers to the immigration reform bill By Judi McLeod We all use Facebook. And God knows Facebook uses all of us.
