Group Still Pursuing Welcoming City Status for Bloomington

A determined group of  about 100 local residents supporting protection for immigrants regardless of their legal status say they will keep fighting for Bloomington to pass a welcoming-city ordinance. A special meeting to discuss the ordinance Monday night was canceled last week at the request of five aldermen. Those aldermen said the ordinance would be redundant because it covers the same territory as the state's Trust Act.
