The CIB challenge is also an opportunity in disguise, to do what’s right and Constitutional in spirit; vs.”legal,” by obscure retrofit of vocational bias, lawyerly or judicial misapplication. There is no better marketing opportunity for those involved, than getting this right. It’s time for a reality check; not more checks from working citizens, or increased taxes on their virtues and vices. You don’t need Mdme. Currie or tea leaves to know, that the days of marxist minor leaguing, muni-leveraging & metro-hopping are over. Socialism only appears to succeed “on stage,” until the curtain drops and the house lights are turned on. Forget tax increases, finger pointing and complaining! Act like the free market minded pros you claim to be, and just do it. Convert your claims of benefit into tangible shares of ownership (SEC quality or better) that pay dividends to real live investors. Getting this right is nothing more than the will to do so. Surely those capable business minds can see the templated, future benefit of getting this right. Green Bay is the standard, free market defined. Every team and city wants the relationship like the Packers have with citizens of Green Bay. Why not define Indianapolis & Indiana with progressive, citizen centered policy? Who wants more of the Detroit trend, didn’t we vote that off the island? How many more “one time” dome styled taxes can the citizens & free market support?

Management is too often mired in the “serious business” of status quo (reminiscent of a lecture hall scene in the movie AnimalHouse), and tail chasing recitation of “how things are,” vs. the ledership challenge of rebalanced policy; reconciled to Constitutional purpose. The half-pregnant “logic” of public / private partnerships, is inbred, fee market cronyism; and not the free market capitalism of a sovereign people.

Leadership requires routine examination of how things should be; reconciled to the oath and citizen centered purpose, or spirit, of the US and Indiana Constitutions, the paradigm of public service. These guiding documents are law and therefore inextricable from the duties of public office. We need leadership- right now.
