Family, First

Sunday, May 22nd, 2011

We all know Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is taking a pass on the Presidency.  And as I had speculated earlier, he wanted to do it and only family concerns would keep him out of it.  I know the cynics in the crowd have a hard time believing the Governor, but I take him at his […]

Mitch Not Running

Sunday, May 22nd, 2011

Mitch Daniels is not running for President. I said the only thing that would stop a Daniels Presidential run would be family concerns.   Looks like I was right. Here’s the latest from Reuters news agency. (Reuters) – Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels said on Sunday in an email to supporters he had decided not to seek […]

See Mitch Run

Saturday, May 21st, 2011

I suspect that when Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels was first approached about running for President he probably looked at the people suggesting the idea like they were nuts.  But the more he thought about it and the more he explored the idea, it didn’t seem so crazy after all.   And after looking at events these […]

Daniels to Run?

Friday, May 20th, 2011

I’m getting a lot of rumblings this morning that Mitch Daniels will announce next week that he is running for President. I’ll be spending all weekend doing the follow up and getting confirmation. Stay tuned!

Record Request

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

I’ve decided to do some follow up to Indianapolis Public School Superintendent Eugene White’s statements about banning charter school students from returning to the district if they leave.  I sent the district the following open records request asking it to spell out the policy/legal authority for Dr. White’s decision.  I also asked them for a […]

4th Amendment Follies

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

The American Civil Liberties Union has just become everybody’s new best friend.

The case stemmed from an incident in […]

Gregg for Governor

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Former Indiana Speaker of the House John Gregg is announcing his run for Governor. Here it is. By the way, word on the street is that Dr. Woody Myers is the favorite for the spot of Lt. Governor on the Democratic ticket. Myers is the former State Health Commissioner and ran for Congress in 2008.

Weekend Update

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Here’s a quick rundown of a few items of note from this past weekend.  Enjoy… There’s been a lot of controversy over an Indiana Supreme Court Decision that says an individual does not have the right to resist an unlawful entry into their home by police.  I’ve embedded the opinion here Barnes v. State of […]

Kennedy Wants More Money for IPS

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

I just read a guest editorial in this morning’s paper by Democratic Mayoral candidate Melina Kennedy.  And after reading it, once again it would be nice if her campaign and I could put aside our differences and chat because I would love to know why any sane person would advocate more money for Indianapolis Public […]

Body Politic Talk

Friday, May 13th, 2011

Although I knew going into Thursday night’s Indiana Republican Party Annual State Diner there wasn’t going to be any news made regarding Mitch Daniels and a potential run for the Presidency, I was still looking for some sign or indication as to what the Governor was thinking. Pulling a couple of strings I managed to […]
