A lot of you have been asking me to come back and get back to work covering the issues facing Indianapolis and Marion County. I’ll be back Sunday with a lot of things to talk and write about.

I’ll dissect the Mayor’s 2008 Budget address. While the Mayor did make some valid points in his speech, he didn’t tell the whole story behind the city’s financial troubles. I’ll fill in what the Mayor didn’t.

I’m also going to walk through Judge Rueben Hill’s decision that held an IMPD officer who wasn’t sworn in and therefore an arrest he made was invalid. I really think there are some serious legs to this story than more people are willing to admit. In addition, this decision also calls into a bigger question about the new police department.

Also, it’s been a little more than a year since the last “early release” from the jail. Once again, that’s not the whole story. I’ll fill in the rest.

I’ll have the latest on property taxes, the Voter ID case heading to the U.S. Supreme Court, the continuing Library debacle, a Lawrence not-for-profit that may be breaking the law. And I’ll be at the State Fair on Wednesday

Although, I’ve been away, I have not been gone. And if you think things were wild last week, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
