By: Diane Benjamin Jenn Carrillo had her “pride” flag at the beginning of the meeting. She sits right next to the mayor, he said nothing. Maybe he doesn’t know displaying a personal flag that is larger than the American flag is offensive and violates the US Flag Code. If you missed last night’s story, see […]
By: Diane Benjamin Just so there is a record, since the City of Bloomington didn’t live stream or archive video of the candidates being sworn in, a reader taped Carrillo and Crabill. They did take an oath to support the Constitution. I wonder if they know the word “democracy” is not in it? Below […]
See video of Jenn speaking in Washington DC below – April 30, 2019. By: Diane Benjamin See this section from the City Code: http://www.cityblm.org/government/codes-ordinances/city-code Now see this Facebook post from Illinois people’s Action: Obviously Jenn Carrillo and Jeff Crabill have “personal interest” in passing the Welcoming Ordinance and both are not capable of “rendering […]
By: Diane Benjamin Sonny Garcia is a self-proclaimed democratic socialist. He has no clue what that means. He does want the Welcoming Ordinance, Community Policing, Green City, Affordable Housing, and free public transportation.

By: Diane Benjamin In February, Connect Transit had a whooping $115,785.44 in revenue. That revenue didn’t cover 25% of the wages they paid to employees.

By: Diane Benjamin Maybe the voters in Ward 8 are wondering why the Council needs another State Farm lawyer on the Council when Bloomington already has a State Farm lawyer Kimberly Bray. That’s diversity? Maybe the Ward 8 voters can’t figure out why Crabill hangs out with the radicals in Dwight. https://blnnews.com/2019/03/13/guess-who-else-was-in-dwight/ Maybe they can’t figure […]
By: Diane Benjamin Obviously many of the candidates last night believe what they are told instead of facts. The Coliseum doesn’t lose $500,000 a year, $1,000,000+ is MUCH closer to the truth. The City pays a lot of money for auditors, they shouldn’t be burying the results. https://blnnews.com/2019/03/07/dont-want-to-be-fake-news-quit-acting-like-it/ Jenn Carrillo was playing with a ball […]
