Bloomington residents will have several elections on their ballots, including the mayoral race, although Democrat Kerry Thompson is the only candidate. It will also include the city clerk and both local and at-large city council elections.
Bloomington ballots will also have a measure on whether to increase property taxes to fund and expand early childhood education, eliminate student and family fees in K-12 education as well as other education-related programs. This would result in a 12.61% average property tax increase on residences and a 12.24% increase on business property, according to the ballot measure.
