Here is your copy of the City of Indianapolis’ 2012 budget. It’s interesting reading. My Democratic friends have criticized the budget and are calling for cuts in public safety. Earlier this year they were claiming crime was on the rise, despite what the city was saying. So if crime is one the rise, why do […]
As much as I love democracy and enjoy citizens gathering to address their grievances with their local officials, it would be nice if they did their homework every once in a while. The union crowd Monday night jammed-packed the City-County Council chambers with their supporters to encourage the Council to pass Proposal 242. On the […]

When I came to Indy on Labor Day 2004, the first thing I did was look up Indy Star stories on the city’s budget. One of things that struck me was then Democratic-controlled City-County Council’s decision to take $100 million borrowed to pay for police and fire pension funds and put it toward operating expenditures […]
In my capacity as a speech teacher at Ivy Tech Community College I give my students an assignment for their impromptu speeches. I tell them to take a situation that started out as a negative and turned into a positive. It’s amazing the stories that they tell me. I give them the assignment for two […]
Yes, the rumors are true. I started them. Friday will be my last day as the morning show host at WXNT-AM. I’ll fill you in the morning. However, I can assure I was not caught in a company vehicle with three hookers and blow. If I had you would have seen the pictures […]
I was out all day yesterday attending funeral services for my wife’s aunt so I did not get a chance to put something together for this morning. I will have something up this afternoon.
