Downtown Bloomington, IL Bar Zone Substance Use, Round I & II

This video reinforces the lax attibute of law enforcement in the Downtown Bloomington, IL bar zone. That the City’s priority is to let the bar patrons party without any interference like law enforcement., as it generates more cigarette and alcohol taxes. Its really hard to enforce the law if you have not police in the downtown in which to enforce the law. But here’s the real insult to injury, some bright spot wants to create a special dowtown tax district to make ALL of the property owners and businesses and residents pay for and subsidize all of the bad behavior associated with the bar zone and the venues that help create all of this crap. Many of the downtown Bloomington’s property owners and residents want nothing to do with the bar zone. It has been forced upon us like so many other unpleasant burdens by our own Mayor and City Council. So, now they want us to subsidize their mistake again. NO WAY! Why don’t they just take a wooden stake and just finish off the downtown with this kind of forced taxation upon innocent victims of there poor vision and bad judgement.
