YOUR GOVERNMENT INACTION

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

I’ve been spending time looking out the fallout of now former City-County Council Member Patrice Abduallah’s resignation due to the fact that he did not live in his district. What is so disturbing about this is that it is turning out how many important individuals had knowledge of the problem but no one did anything […]

GIVE THEM A PIECE OF YOUR MIND

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

Marion County city officials want to know what you think about the government they’re running. If you click here, you can go to the city’s website and fill out a survey and let them know what you think is important. This will help them craft the budget. I personally think you should do it. This […]

BAYH PRODUCT

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

I will freely admit to engaging in some speculation right now so take this with a big grain of salt. City officials say outgoing Councilor Patrice Abduallah’s votes were valid and there is case law to prove it. They haven’t cited the cases yet, but one they may to try cite a case involving U.S. […]

Indianapolis City-County Council Member Patrice Abduallah is resigning his council seat. I reported this week that documents filed with the Marion County Clerk showed Abduallah did not live in his district, as required by law.

Dysfunctional Family Values

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

I’m going to surprise a lot of you today by taking conservatives to task. You can pick yourself off the floor now. I have always considered my own politics best summed up as a socially progressive, capitalist pig. In other words, do what you want, just don’t ask me to pay for it. And I […]

Clothe the Poor, but Don’t Style Them

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

You may have heard the story today that about 500 IPS families went to the Center Township Trustee’s office seeking poor relief so they can afford to buy school uniforms. I’m all for helping the poor, but you have to ask what have these parents been doing all summer? It’s not a new story that […]

His address is listed as 1144 Warman on the Council’s website and in candidate paper’s filed with the Clerk’s Office. However, that address is right on the border between District’s 14 and 15. According to the Council’s website, 1144 Warman […]
