By: Diane Benjamin The video below is from the cell phone video by Angela Scott of the Black-Sage-Schmidt Town hall held January 9, 2018 at the BCPA. I go to meetings to listen, but I ended up talking anyway. The City of Bloomington claims to be doing priority based budgeting, but their priorities aren’t the […]
By: Diane Benjamin I attended the Black-Sage-Schmidt Townhall meeting last night at the BCPA. At most 30 citizens attended and many staff members. The aldermen didn’t waste a lot of time going over what people already knew. Most of the time was questions and answers, mostly about budget issues. One citizen asked why a NO […]

By: Diane Benjamin The City of Bloomington does not act in the best interests of the citizens paying the bills. They act in the best interest of whatever votes can be bought, especially employees.

Renner proclaimed City leaders and the Economic Development Council are talking to a prosthetic limbs manufacturer about a factory here. He also mentioned the jobs would pay […]
By: Diane Benjamin I almost feel sorry for Tari. Citizens who disagree with actions of the City and Tari were pretty furious last night. I’m sure by the end Tari was ready for it to be over. I expect his next event to be stacked with a lot more supporters. Schedule: 12/12 – 5:30 – […]
By: Diane Benjamin I’m sure you’ve heard Tari has 3 Town Hall meetings scheduled for December. The only questions now are: How many police will be at each event to protect him? How many of “his” people will attend to applaud his every word? Will anybody be able to have opinions other than his? Will […]

By: Diane Benjamin The Pantagraph has been anxiously awaiting what I am going to write about Kevin Lower’s Town Hall last night. If you read their report and attended, it’s easy to see what I spoke about toward the end of the meeting. The bird-cage liner is either intentionally deceiving citizens for their own personal […]

From GOP Day at the State Fair August 16th. More constituents want Rodney to quit hiding and answer questions. The State Farm event might not have been on the 16th, but he does have an event just for employees scheduled there. . . . . . .

Next Thursday Davis is holding a Question and Answer session at State Farm – for employees only! How safe for you Rodney! Can tough questions be asked […]
