News Release
Allison for County Council
County Recorder Sam Allison has filed to run for Monroe County Council, Seat 4.
"I have had a great term as County Recorder, and I am so grateful to so many people for that," said Allison. "Now it is time for another challenge, the challenge of overseeing the finances of a County that has been adding nearly 1,500 new residents per year to its population. And we sure do have a lot of challenges, due to the bad decisions coming out of Indianapolis."
Decisions, Allison said, that threaten Monroe County's quality of life.
"We have a state government that is intent on slashing funds for our core public services. Education, parks, public safety, libraries -- these things have made Bloomington great. Now they are all on the chopping block. But even though teachers will get fired under the State's current proposal, it also appears that there are billions of dollars available for an I-69 that we absolutely do not need and an FSSA system that has absolutely failed. This is absurd. Downright absurd."
