Bloomington - Citizen Petition
A group of Bloomington citizens have taken the lead to conduct an initiative petition effort in response to the City Council's efforts to impose government managed trash collection on residents.
This effort was started by, and is being managed and led by a group of well organized Bloomington residents.
This group is currently gathering the necessary signatures to place the following ballot question before voters:
Unless first approved by a majority of the voters in a state general election, the City shall not replace the competitive market in solid waste collection with a system in which solid waste services are provided by government-chosen collectors or in government-designed districts. The adoption of this ordinance shall supersede any ordinances or ordinance amendments related to solid waste adopted by the city council in 2015-2016.

The Bloomington City Attorney is presently attempting to stop the petition effort and the citizens group has retained Dorsey & Whitney LLP to file suit if necessary to assure that citizens have a right to vote on this issue.
