When Palin Came To Town

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin will be at the Verizon Center on Friday.  The doors open at 3 and Palin is  expected to speak at 4:30 p.m.  It’s a ticketed event so you will have to go to the campaign’s website for tickets.  It’s a first come first serve basis.  GOP sources say they had been looking for a […]

How Would You Vote?

There are two main referendum questions on the ballot for voters in Marion County.  They basically are as follows… Should the assessing functions of the elected township assessor in the township be transferred to the county assessor? Should IPS float $278,000,000 in bonds for capital improvements for its schools? So let’s do an informal survey, […]

His speech was pretty much standard with a couple new lines.  He said he could […]

The Great Debate (Part Deux)

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

I’m about to watch the debate, but this space is for you. Was this a game changer or are we still where we started? What does this mean for the next debate or is this over? What would you have asked? Have at it.

Living On a Prayer

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Tonight was one of those Council meetings that should have only lasted a couple minutes, but it didn’t!  It wasn’t the ad nauseum debate over whether the city should spend up to $500,000 on crime prevention grant monitors, but actually it was the opening prayer that did it for me. It was CCC member Doris […]

The Monroe Doctrine

Monday, October 6th, 2008

A proposal is being introduced at tonight’s City-County Council meeting which would censure former Council President Monroe Gray for ethics violations. An ethics hearing found Gray failed to file proper disclosure forms regarding his business interests. There are no penalties in the ordinance, but it does call for Gray’s actions to be publicly condemned. Expect […]
