While the Bloomingtons battered woman’s shelter is desperately seeking money to help pay for it’s $6 million restoration, and two farce job creation ideas, they have always had the answer to their problems. Why they chose not to use them is beyond me. It could have been flat out laziness, or complete ignorance. I choose to beleive they just did not want anyone to get ahead without them making a bundle off of the project.
Just to have a battered woman’s shelter in Bloomington, and
then refusing services to most of the woman from Bloomington, just seems mind boggling itself. They also own a very large and beautiful house just on the edge of downtown Bloomington. This house has been for sale for quite a few months, and had they decided to use it for anything that draws revenue, they would not be in the bind that they are in. How? They could have rented sleeping space to people coming into the workforce and even called it affordable housing. They did not. They could have used it as an International Hostel, and served a different people, and paid their bills. They did not.
The last appeal that I read in the Herald Times in Bloomington was that if they did not get their funding, hundreds of children will die. Not only are these people incompetant managers, they seem to be halucinating.
