Bloomington mayor directed city's flood response from Washington, DC

The Herald-Times
Mayor John Hamilton was not in Bloomington the night of the June 18-19 flood, as he was helping his wife move to Washington, D.C., though a spokeswoman said he remained in “frequent contact” with administration members who were directing the cleanup.
“While he could have returned home, staff agreed that there wasn't anything that needed doing that he couldn't accomplish from where he was via phone and computer,” Mary Catherine Carmichael, the city’s director of public engagement, told The Herald-Times via email.
“We also agreed that the 10 hours he could have spent on the road were better spent working on the issues at hand than behind the wheel of a car,” she said.
