Sam Carson, the son of the late Julia Carson, told me Thursday morning that he is running for Mayor of Indianapolis.  Shortly after formally announcing, Marion County Democratic Chairman Ed Treacy put out this statement. “The entry into the mayor’s race of the unemployed Sam Carson brings an interesting development — a candidate with neither […]

Although I have my opinions on issues, I try not to be overly partisan and give the people I disagree with a reasonably fair shake.  However, sometimes, they just drop things in your lap that are just too interesting to ignore.  So with that said… Marion County Democratic Chairman Ed Treacy must not have a […]

With the start of the new year comes the new year’s resolutions.   We all have goals to lose weight, quit smoking, be better people, or in my case finish that novel that’s been sitting in my laptop for three years.   I’m not sure what resolutions some of my favorite politicos in Indiana made for the […]

The latest numbers are out on early voting in Marion County.   As […]

Wow, there’s nothing like two weeks before an election to have multiple story lines pop up all over the place.  So let’s get started. Indiana Democrats continue to accuse Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dan Coats of lying about when he began to pursue his lobbying career.  State Chairman Dan Parker has another news conference slated […]

There have been lots of little things that popped up this week that are worth mentioning that I didn’t get a chance to comment on, so here they are. Indiana school districts could be on the hook for millions of dollars based on a recent opinion by Attorney General Greg Zoeller.   Zoeller’s office put […]
