Monday Morning Buzz

There’s nothing like starting out the week with a good bunch of gossip, rumor and political innuendo.  Most of  it falls on the Democratic side today.  And as always, take it for what it is worth…

Marion County Sheriff Frank Anderson apparently has felt the need to justify some recent purchases in these tight budget times.  Anderson reportedly sent letters out to members of the council justifying the acquisitions of some motorcycles and other vehicles, saying he got a good deal on them.

Wayne Township Trustee David Baird is offering up retirement benefits to members of the Wayne Township Board.   However, my sources say the Board is going to tell him, thanks but no thanks.

A new name is being surfaced in the nomination for U.S. Attorney in the Southern District.  I’m hearing Marion County Superior Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt as a likely nominee.

The new City-County Council maps are expected to be complete by February 2011. Officials say the census will be done by December 2010.   It will be interesting to see how they are drawn now that there is a Republican Council and Republican Mayor.

Expect a major change to occur in the Mayor’s Office in about two weeks.

Rumor has it there was a serious mix up in the pay of some IPS teachers this past week.  It was reportedly so bad that IPS spokeswoman Mary Louise Bewley had to send out a formal apology to staff.
