Bloomington mulls new rules on demonstrations
With thousands of GOP conventioneers in town this summer, the city may require that would-be protesters get a permit. Concerned that the city isn't ready for demonstrators who might show up for the Republican National Convention this fall, Bloomington is considering its first-ever requirement that protesters get a city permit before holding a demonstration or march. The City Council may vote on the proposed ordinance Monday night. "The Republican convention is what inspired it," said Sandy Johnson, associate city attorney. "Before, we had no real motivation to go forward. We hadn't had any big demonstrations."
