Indiana Primary Tuesday, May 6

From BBC President Jim Schroeder

There is a four-candidate race for Monroe County Sheriff.  You may remember an incident last summer involving a BBC member, a road raged motorist, and later on with the Monroe County Sheriff Department in that nothing was done despite a complaint being filed and evidence submitted.  I have promised that member that I will pursue this issue as much as possible.

As a non-profit 501(c)(4) the Bloomington Bicycle Club cannot support a political candidate, but the club may submit questions on important issues to all candidates involved.

I have e-mailed questions to three Democratic candidates, Mike Pershing, Brad Swain, and Stephen Sharp about motorist road rage towards bicyclists in Monroe County this past week.  I am awaiting their statements and will keep you all informed.

The Republican candidate is unopposed, but I will address this issue before the general election.

Stay tuned for candidate responses.
