I thought I’d put together a nice little list of the 60+ taxing districts in Marion County for your amusement, entertainment, and hopefully outrage.  Enjoy.

If  anyone doesn’t think life is tough in the newspaper world is tough, go talk to the more than three dozen people laid off this week at the Indianapolis Star. The Star is a victim of a number of factors, but I’ve always wondered in the 21st Century is there still a need for a […]

I promised on WXNT-AM the other day that if I found my copy of Dr. Eugene White’s contract I would post it. Here it is. eugene-white-ips-agreement

Property taxes are due today.   If you’re in Marion County you’re paying your 2008 reconciliation bill.   Although 65% of property taxpayers saw either a decrease or no change in their property tax bills, 35%  saw an increase. And while I don’t think repealing property taxes will work, I firmly believe that if you […]

I hope you are sitting down for this blog post, but I am about to defend Indianapolis Public School Superintendent Eugene White.

Michael Jackson is getting buried today and hopefully all the media hoopla will be put in the ground with him.   It’s no big secret MJ had some “issues” at best, but some of the comments are just silly.   The chatter class has been going on and on about Jackson, however if you look […]

To be honest, I never fully got Sarah Palin.   Now all you anti-Obama people can go into your usual rants but I frankly could care less this morning. However, when she announced she getting out of politics, for now, I was scratching my head because her reasons weren’t adding up. She complained about the […]

I’ve been taking it easy this weekend, but still managed to pick up a few tidbits here and there.  Personally, I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop regarding soon to be former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.  No one quits their job with more than 18 months left in their term on a holiday weekend […]

I’m not going to spend too much time here today.  I’ve got the day off and plan to spend it getting caught up on some much needed sleep.  But as I was on the Interstate yesterday I heard numerous stories about how small towns were cancelling their 4th of July celebrations because they were short […]
