BLOOMINGTON – Bloomington mayor Tari Renner has scheduled three town hall meetings next month to seek feedback on a wide range of city issues.

Renner told WJBC’s Scott Laughlin foremost on his mind is how the city can plug a projected $3 million shortfall.

“(It is) not a crisis, it is a challenge,” Renner declared. “We want to hear about what people want to cut or what they would be willing to pay a little bit more for, that’s what we want to hear – or if there are things that are on their radar screen that are not on our radar screen.

The meetings will be on Dec. 5 at the YWCA, on Dec. 12 at the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts and Dec. 20 at Miller Park Pavilion. All three meetings are from 5:30-7 p.m.

Renner added constituents can still meet with him one-on-one during his twice-monthly open house sessions on Fridays before city council meetings.

“We can always do even more to reach out to our residents and get them engaged,” Renner said.

In these troubled times, to my fellow white Americans

By Mike Matejka Our nation is at a unique watershed in human relations. African-Americans have been killed too many times in the past before George Floyd, but the response to this man’s death is international and all-encompassing. I was a grade-schooler during the Civil Rights 1960s. I watched Birmingham demonstrators hosed and the Selma – Montgomery…

Workers’ Memorial Day – Remember those whose job took their life

Looking around our community, when we say employer, most will respond to State Farm, Country, or Illinois State University.   We too often forget those who are building our roads, serving our food, or our public employees. COVID-19 has made us more aware of the risk.  Going to work every day for some people means…
