Health officer resigns before hearing as Monroe County services pause

Embattled Monroe County Health Officer Dr. Sarah Ryterband resigned abruptly Thursday, minutes before the health board planned to begin a public hearing on her possible removal. Her resignation forced the health department to suspend some services and close to walk-in visitors beginning Friday, Oct. 23, 2026. The department announced after the meeting that it would not be able to issue permits or birth and death certificates or provide some testing and treatment until an interim health officer is appointed. The department encouraged patients to call 812-349-2543 to make an appointment. “It has been interesting partnering with you all, and I do love you. But I am done. I resign effective immediately,” Ryterband said after taking about seven minutes to read a prepared statement. She then walked out of the meeting room on the first floor of the health building on Seventh Street, leaving the board to cancel the public hearing and discuss a replacement. Board Chair Dr. Lisa Hanner-Robinson immediately proposed appointing Dr. Paul Broderick, the Morgan County health officer, as interim health officer, suggesting county officials had already begun considering contingency plans in the event of Ryterband’s removal or resignation. Board members endorsed pursuing the appointment, which still requires

Bloomington budget fight exposes growing rift between council, mayor

The Bloomington City Council approved a 2027 budget that looks much like this year's despite targeted cuts and decisions to postpone some spending, but the budget process exposed heightened tensions at City Hall and a growing divide between the council and Mayor Kerry Thomson over the city's financial future. Council members argued Bloomington needs to more aggressively examine its spending and long-term commitments, while Thomson's administration maintained that the city's finances remain stable despite uncertainty surrounding potential state limits on local property and income tax revenues. The disagreement expanded beyond dollars and cents, touching on transparency, oversight and the relationship between the city's legislative and executive branches. The debate eventually turned more personal. Several council members accused the administration of treating legislative oversight as an annoyance rather than a core part of the budget process between two equal branches of government, while Thomson defended city employees and said the tone of some budget discussions had become demoralizing for staff. “We all want to do better with the money that we have, but adding layers and layers of red tape to getting it done doesn't seem like the most practical solution,” Thomson said. Council member Hopi Stosberg took issue with that
