There's something to be said for loyalty, and in that vein, I admire Wilson

But blind loyalty is ridiculous.

Wilson, your pals are drunk with power. They've gone on buying sprees that cost we taxpayers millions.

Here's another tidbit of truth to add to AI's readers' collection of AllThingsStupid:

This past winter, just before the parties had their slating conventions, the Dem county chair picked a candidate for Washington trustee, whom the four board Dems would not support (Frank Short). I don't know the full reasons behind that, because I don't know any of them very well. Suffice it to say, theu considered the County Chair's choice unfit.

The 4 board members recruited someone to run.

The wife of the (Washington) township board president worked for Drummer. Drummer told her if she and her husband didn't back Frank Short for trustee, her job would be a living hell.

My guess is, that the Dems had only recently gained control of that township board, and they were furious with the County Chair's lack of inclusion in that "knighting" process.

(I think) Short works at Ice Miller.

Are you starting to see a pattern here?

He later recanted, and denied he ever said it.

That's how these folks gain more power and influence. Drummer counted on having Washington Twp. under his thumb, too.

The whole mess is a flippant, arrogant and condescending misuse of power.

And whoever got Wilson to publicly admit his prior work history, Kudos.

Blind loyalty, Wilson, isn't a virtue.

Only reason AI would be a cesspool is because you're here.

It's pleasant to read IndyU or The BOFH Chronicles because we don't have to see you spew your sewage.

Definition of Combined Sewage Overflow: when Wilson goes to the bathroom and talks at the same time.

AdvanceIndiana is turning into a virtual cesspool - IndyUndercover always has been ... the stench is over-powering.

I'm gay and proud - IndyU reeks of homophobia. AdvanceIndiana is beginning to spend much of its time sliming and smearing gay-friendly candidates while consorting with Black allies of Eric Miller ...

now that Gary is running with Jocelyn and Darla - he's going to be known as the batshit crazy gay white GOP blogger...

Advance Indiana:

The Ghetto Mafia connection;
He finally admitted to working as the Clerk for Center Township.

A clothing store was housed in the annex of Mass Avenue, and inquiries were made as to the profits for over-priced children’s' clothing being sold to poor relief recipients.

This store, Doris' Boutique was raking in $1.5 Million dollars between 1991-1996 from August to December for school clothing. Friends of Julia Carson,
Louis and Doris Morse were listed as the owners, but it was Carson's. Ironically, this store closed after Carson was elected to Congress in 1996. Where are they now?

Beginning January 1, 1994, Center Township Trustee, Julia Carson & Company assumed the responsibility of redeeming poor relief vouchers and paying the township's bills.

A sweetheart deal. Paul Cantwell, Democrat state legislator introduced a bill to remove the responsibility from the Marion County Auditor's office, a Republican.

There was no independent oversight from the outside for an $11 Million annual budget after 1994, until the board of accounts has time to perform an audit.

Carson and Drummer spent the township's money like it was their own. She bought the 300 Fall Creek Building at auction for $350,000.00, with the intention of having it named after her. The location is very convenient since she only lives 3 blocks away.

Julia Carson's address was used to qualify him to run for the vacancy.
Drummer was a resident of Lawrence Township when he ran for the office of Trustee.

Carl Drummer agreed to have the building named after her before taking office. Another sweetheart deal.

The Former Fall Creek YMCA Building was another sweetheart deal for $1 Million, and The Minority Health Coalition, private health club.

Carson and Drummer have spent more public money for bricks and mortar over time 1991 to 2005, than they have at providing for the needy.

Economic development is not one of the duties of the Trustee using public funds.

Drummer is confused about his official duties as Trustee.

That's scarey, a drunk cutting checks.

As the Center Township Clerk starting in 1991, I was the one who cut the checks for the rent for the Small Claims Court. The Star was wrong ... or do you just selectively believe the Star when it bolsters your prejudices?

I'm going to go with the Star archived story reporting on this one Wilson as opposed to your non-stop disinformation campaign.

Linda Ivey will be on the Amos Brown Show on AM-1310 tomorrow, Monday, Sept.25th, at 1pm. It's a call-in show so you can ask leading questions if you wish ...

2006-09-24T19:01:00.000-05:00

I know for a certainty that the Small Claims Court has paid decent rent to the Building Authority since 1991 - and most likely since before then too but I couldn't swear to it...

2006-09-24T17:40:00.000-05:00

It certainly seems that way Renee. I suppose there's a remote possibility that someone at the local FBI office is watching what's going on and will finally wake up and do something. The hits I get on this site come from some fascinating sources. And these stories are among the ones generating a lot of those hits. It is very disturbing. I can't think of anywhere else in the U.S. right now where public officials could do what these folks are doing here and get by with it. It's a little like living in a banana republic isn't it?

2006-09-24T17:32:00.000-05:00

But see, this what bugs me. The people of Center Township *aren't* waking up. They don't even know. Unless they read blogs every day -- and not many do -- they have no idea what's actually happening in their district. They don't understand what's actually going on and how it's all tied in to decades of political entitlement.

Unless the GOP caplitalizes on this -- which means putting money and candidates behind it -- it's not going to change. The people of Center Township have no alternative and no incentive. The Star isn't reporting it, Brizzi isn't prosecuting it, the mayor isn't calling special commissions to handle it, so it's not an issue as far as the large voting public is concerned. I agree, it's time for a change. But I don't think it's fair to believe the voters of D-7 are going to rise up against Carson or against their elected township officials. Sad, but true. It's going to take more than AI for mass change. But I think educating a great number of people like us is a start.

2006-09-24T16:09:00.000-05:00

Gary, thank you for reading and analyzing it all. The more I read the more I see just how corrupt this city is and it makes me sick.

It is time for a change, the people of Center Township are waking up. They are tired of the crime and their local elected officials are too busy making sure bars are being built for personal reasons.

Time to put the PUBLIC back in public service.

2006-09-24T13:42:00.000-05:00

Wait, they're going to have wireless access in the bar at the Carson building? Hey, maybe I can get a little work down late in the afternoon sitting out on that nice deck they've built. Oh, wait, I'm not an African-American professional. I am a white professional that lives in the neighborhood, though. Am I not welcome at the new Carson building place? They keep touting it as a gathering place for black professionals -- but if it's as nice as they say, I'm not sure why they wouldn't want to make it open to all.

2006-09-24T12:02:00.000-05:00

I couldn't agree more, Gary. (By the way, who is "management" ? The club's or the township's?)

I know Carl, and here's a strong bet his PR firm wrote that statement.

Sheer arrogance. That's what this is.

Drummer's apparent defense is: Lacy and Bill want this bar, so it has to be a good idea.

And the Mapleton angle is laughable. The neighborhood development corporations, particularly this one, are rife with politics. A true neighorhood association should be involved in this, not just the CDC.

Absolutely no reasons were given, or questions answered, about the public's right to know about the law firm's work, lack of permits, and the need for rezoning at all.

Typical Center Twp bullshit attitudes. Public service has been very lucrative to mony of them.

In the private sector: Ice Miller wouldn't been fired, along with Drummer. Procedures would be changed so that these slipups would not happen in the future. And the ultimate customer, us, would get full apologies for malfeasance.

Half a mill...hmmm...I always wondered what his treshhold was.
Half a mil must be enough to make Carl a political whore.

That is always good to know.
