I hate to be the bad guy, but it’s time start rounding up some of the city’s homeless people and politely, respectfully and humanely put them away into an institution. Hey, someone’s gotta say it. And I don’t say this lightly. I say this because up until this week nearly three dozen people built a […]
Some blog posts come easy and quick. Some take days of research to put together. When I thought about what to say about Lettie Oliver, it was easy, it just took a while. Anyone who is familiar with Marion County politics or how things work over at the Statehouse knew Lettie. She passed away […]
This morning I interviewed two of the plaintiffs in the Indiana school funding lawsuit and their attorney. The interview will be posted later at wxnt.com. I also spoke with Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller about the litigation as well. After spending the weekend doing some legal research and actually talking to the parties involved, I […]
I am fully convinced there are some families and people in the Carmel-Clay school district who are either in complete denial about what’s going on in their school district or they have no clue what-so-ever. As we all know by now, local authorities are investigating an assault that took place on a bus where a […]
This week is shaping up to be pretty busy and it’s not even Monday. Here’s what I’m following. If there’s something I’m missing, let me know. Monday night the Marion County GOP will fill the position left vacant by Kent Smith. My front runner list hasn’t changed. It’s still, not necessarily in this order, Angel […]
I woke up this morning to news that local Democrat and labor activist Lettie Oliver was hospitalized last night. She was taken to Community East. It’s unclear why she was taken or what her condition is. Despite our huge differences on labor and union issues, Lettie has always been a good friend and her charm […]
On Monday, Marion County Republicans will choose a new candidate to fill the seat vacated by former City-County Council member Kent Smith. The final line-up looks like this… Jacqueline Cissell Gary Conner Kevin Green Dorothy Henry Michael Jezierski Michael Kalscheur Avachino Reeves Angel Rivera Bruce Schumacher Eric Smith Aaron Williams Although the situation is fluid […]
If the Marion County Democratic establishment was going to knock down Mayoral candidate Brian Williams, it’s going to have to hit a little harder next time. Last Friday the Williams’ campaign filed more than 200 candidates for precinct committeemen (PC) spots. PC’s are crucial to a political party as they choose the County Chairman, and […]
Like a lot of you, I’m trying to get my arms around the hazing regarding a Carmel student athlete. Obviously, we’re limited by the facts that can be confirmed, but what I was interesting was one of the pending charges. According to the police report, one of the offenses was criminal deviate sexual conduct, IC […]
Unlike some of my colleagues in the political press corps, I’m not cynical when it comes to the Indiana General Assembly. I think the 150 men and women who serve in that body are mostly good and honorable people. However, part of me has to chuckle as some lawmakers give themselves rotator cuff injuries from […]
