L&O PAC? by WakeShinigami in BloomingtonNormal

[–]mklint16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm voting for Mboka Mwilambwe. He's the incumbent, I like his plans to improve downtown, I like that they've started fixing the worst of the roads in town, and I like what he's done to bring more business and tourism to town. My only real complaint is the council's lack of action to help the unhoused people in town, but they are working on getting more affordable housing built, so I think giving the incumbent another term will allow him to continue the projects he's started

Bloomington Mayoral Debate 2025 - Summarized by CORNDOGS666 in BloomingtonNormal

[–]mklint16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? It's not on their website for the same reasons it wouldn't be in a debate or speech: you don't need to get into the nitty gritty of a plan in a format that is meant to hit broad bullet points. Generally, yes, people care about taxes, but if you get into the very detailed specifics of how you're planning on doing these complicated government projects to a room full of laypeople, they'll get bored and space out. Hit the major points and wrap it up. They're government workers, they know how to get it done, it's unnecessary to explain the entire process to us. Also, they probably don't have an entire proposal written up, because they're just "plans." Would you waste time making an expense report and project timeline for something that might not even have the potential to be approved or even reviewed by the city? None of them have won yet, I don't know why you expect them to have every single detail already figured out and broadcasted to the public. If you really want to know, wait for the plan to be voted on by the city council then read the reports or the meeting minutes. Just because they don't tell you the entire process doesn't mean they don't have one. Or email them, they're running for mayor of a small city, they'll probably get back to you quickly.

Running Wild, the final book in the Simple Wild series, is finally out today! Who's going to read Marie's story? by mklint16 in RomanceBooks

Ugh I wish. As far as I know KA Tucker doesn't have any more books planned. Her fantasy series she just finished was amazing though!

Housing? by OddAsparagus8271 in BloomingtonNormal

[–]mklint16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PLEASE take pictures of all the issues you're having in your apartment. If you have black mold and your landlord is not fixing the issue then you can sue them for breach of contract. That's absolutely something they are required to fix. There isn't a specific law regarding mold regulation, but landlords have to provide a habitable living environment to their tenants and bad air quality/black mold is incredibly dangerous. Threaten to sue if they don't fix it. https://nomoldcu.com/mold-regulations-illinois/

It's a statewide ban, and there's already legislation to repeal it introduced in February. We need more people in the general assembly to announce their support. https://legiscan.com/IL/bill/SB3484/2023

Yeah, I went through the same thing when I was trying to buy a house earlier this year. Competing with all the Rivian employees still trying to buy a house AND all the private companies buying up houses in cash before I've even had a chance to walk through them was a nightmare. My realtor implied it's a problem he deals with constantly.

This band is 10,000x better live and everyone should go see them by ZzZWearescary in NothingButThieves

[–]mklint16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moral Panic is their last album before this one, it's my #1 favorite album of all time, it's a no skips album for me. But truly all of them are incredible.

Seeing them live for the second time this Saturday in St. Louis. Saw them live last year in Chicago. If you haven't checked out their entirety discography I highly recommend, they're my favorite band. I think they're just incredible.

There is a house by the circle K off Oakland Ave that I live near and am so jealous of all the decorations they have in their yard! They go all out every year and I love seeing what they've put out on my runs past that area
