Katz--I don't follow your logic. The letter was written by someone who dislikes Murphy and Marendt. The person who writes FIN doesn't share those views.

Check this out. A letter to the editor in the Star from a Republican Insider named Barton. Should put to rest who runs FIN.

Carl Brizzi paying Advance Indiana? Not hardly. In fact, someone from his campaign complained to me just a few weeks ago that they thought I was being unfair for criticizing him for not pushing the hate crimes legislation this year.

So when did Carl Brizzi start paying Advance India...

Anonymous--if you bother to check out Kennedy's website (www.melinakennedy.com), you will find her qualifications listed there. She lists no criminal experience other than her work clerking for the Supreme Court reviewing criminal cases on appeal as a clerk. That hardly qualifies as prosecutorial experience. If she has the experience you think she has, she isn't disclosing on her own website. It describes her experience as follows:

Melina Kennedy was appointed as Deputy Mayor of the City of Indianapolis in 2004 by Mayor Bart Peterson. As Deputy Mayor, she helped develop stronger, safer and thriving neighborhoods through community and economic development.

Kennedy started her career in public service as an attorney that worked at the Indiana Supreme Court, where she helped review scores of criminal and civil legal appeals.

She joined Mayor Peterson’s team as assistant deputy mayor in 2000, where she worked on several important public safety initiatives, including combating domestic violence in our community. She coordinated efforts that led to the “Mayor’s Domestic Violence Roundtables,” which developed the first-ever “Family Violence Communitywide Plan” to identify the gaps in local domestic violence services and to propose strategies for reducing family violence.

In addition, she worked with Mayor Peterson to push for a new state law to enforce out-of-state protective orders and to eliminate filing fees that domestic violence victims had to pay to obtain protective orders against their violent partners.

She then took on the job as the city’s Director of Economic Development, where she oversaw the city’s effort to grow high-tech, high-wage jobs in Indianapolis. She helped lead efforts to create BioCrossroads, the central Indiana life sciences network, and BuyIndyFirst, a plan to promote the use of local business in the greater Indianapolis area. Prior to joining Mayor Peterson’s team, she practiced law in a local Indianapolis firm.

Hello. I am still waiting for Advance Indiana to take back the statement about Kennedy's experience. Where are you Advance Indiana?

TDW is also regularly updated, has no comment moderation (allowing the "FIN" to not publish comments he doesn't like) and is generally, well-read. The "FIN" seems to be nothing but a GOP spout...

Your wrong. Kennedy DOES have experience. You need to check your facts.

But wait a second. While TDW at least attempts to report news, it seems like all FIN exists for is to slam, slime, and attack Democrats.
