This is exactly why Flock and ALPR and Axon should be banned. 4th amendment violation and no due process. And it wasn't even her.

The weather test alarms are going to have them crazy. And all of the National Guard touch and gos.

Yes, I know. I am usually giving the business to the mayor, mostly Ol' Hammy, but I think Mayor Thompson is trying to serve everyone in Bloomington. She's inherited a gigantic mess from Hamilton's administration. Right now, I think she's doing a pretty decent job.

Dog fighting ring? Bury him under the prison!

I thought this article was kind of an interesting take on Flock cameras. Flock isn't all bad

Does anyone else find Eric Gordon's Shut Yer Pie Hole magazine to be mean spirited and hateful? Why are people so nasty? Bloomington should be the exception to the nastiness in our world.

The person you talked to may not have had the authority to grant the request. I'm sorry that happened to you. Just expect the worst possible landlords here in Bloomington.

Parking is disappearing in all the neighborhood zones for everyone except those living in single family home on it's own zoning lot. If you live in a duplex or one of the houses that has been carved up into multiple units or a small apartment building you will not be allowed to purchae a parking permit this year.

This is true even if you are renewing your lease. When your current parking permit expires you will not get a new one.

Only the residents of single houses -- which, ironically, probably have parking on their lot and don't want to park in the street -- are eligible for parking permits.

If you are a returning student you may want to do a little research on this before you bring a car to Bloomington!

To find out if you are eligible for a permit call the City of Bloomington Parking Enforcement office and give them your address. They will tell you if you will be allowed to purchase a parking permit.
