The Bloomington city council seems dysfunctional as all get-out. I wonder what’s going on over there.
“I write to you today challenged by the pattern which seems to be common practice within our legislative branch of government, and which is in direct conflict with one of the values I would like to believe we all share: transparent and open government.”
Councilmember Stosberg responded to the Mayor in her last Council report on Wednesday. The IDS covered it.
In her report, Stosberg cited the specific requirements in code for HPC appointments which the Mayor’s attempted appointment did not meet.

The mayor’s appointment to the historic preservation commission had no experience with historic preservation. The appointment did not get the motion and second required to bring it up for a vote.
@KrissyKat @bloomington_in I only know what I read in the papers. The council refused to consider the mayor’s pick for the historic preservation commission, and the deputy mayor accused the council of trying to raise the salary of the spouse of one of the members.
If you are referring to Beth Rosenbarger, she took a job with a different employer some time ago.
@markstos That is to whom the deputy mayor was referring. I had forgotten they were that explicit about it 😬
