A Particularly Partisan Post
Although I have my opinions on issues, I try not to be overly partisan and give the people I disagree with a reasonably fair shake. However, sometimes, they just drop things in your lap that are just too interesting to ignore. So with that said…
Marion County Democratic Chairman Ed Treacy must not have a lot of faith in his chosen picks for slating. A lot of appointed precinct committeemen have found themselves out of a position this week. Treacy has reportedly been removing appointed PCs without either their knowledge or their Ward Chairman’s knowledge. This wasn’t caught for some PCs until Friday and this past Wednesday was the deadline to re-appoint them. I’m also told that those positions won’t be refilled until after slating. This doesn’t surprise me because he also reportedly sent out a letter threatening to remove PCs whose districts did not go Democratic in November.
Speaking of slating, Treacy recently raised slating fees from $800 to $1500. I wonder if that means that Lawrence Township Constable Terry Burns who reportedly bragged about never having to pay a slating fee will eventually pay up and which fee would he pay?
Speaking of Burns, I know he gets excited every time there’s a murder in Marion County, however he seemed little too zealous when he blogged about the woman who swallowed poison and killed her fetus. I’m not quite sure what to think about that one.
I’m also not quite sure what to think about Marion County Democratic Party Executive Director Adam Kirch berating a group of March of Dimes volunteers in the parking lot of the Democratic Party recently? Wouldn’t your time be better spent kicking puppies and drowning kittens?
And one last little thought. I’ve been doing some follow up on the “Eddie Long” post that went up on Bilerico a while back. I’ve been speaking to some people and not only does it look like there are legs to the story, but tentacles and they are pointing in the direction of the Baptist Ministers Alliance. Definitely stay tuned for that one.
Enjoy your Saturday. Tomorrow I’m doing my Martin Luther King, Jr. post about the people who oppose school choice and more options for children in poor schools are the segregationists of the 21st century. It should be fun.
