Keller Opts Out Of Indianapolis Mayor's Race
Former Indianapolis City-County Councilor Scott Keller becomes the latest in a string of potential candidates to pass on running for mayor this year. Keller tells WTHR's Mary Milz that he pledged to spend $4 million of his own money on the race if the Marion Co. Republicans backed his candidacy but decided against running after consulting with his wife Sharon. Former State Sen. Murray Clark, Jr, State Sen. James Merritt, House Speaker Brian Bosma and Public Safety Director Troy Riggs, others mentioned as possible candidates, have all said no to running. The front-running Democratic candidate, Joe Hogsett, will be opposed in the May primary by citizen activist Larry Vaughn. The only announced Republican committed to running is Jocelyn-Tandy Adande. Rev. Charles Harrison of the Ten Point Coalition is also considering a run, although he can't figure out which party's banner he wants to run under.

Scott Keller has $4 million laying around to blow on a campaign? LOL
Flanner and Buchanan. Scott's family. Plenty of money. His mother was Charlene ''Sunny'' Buchanan Keller.
Why is his house up for sale?
Was he the rumored businessman backed by party leaders walker and brooks that fox59 alluded to yesterday in the story about troy riggs?
I don't know about his current state of affairs, but Keller had a spectacular bankruptcy with a lot of hot creditors and skipped out of the country for a few years while things cooled off.
5:37--Quick answer is no
