Peterson was a pawn of Duke.<BR/><BR/>Who got the money from Pinnacle for having these signs up ?<BR/><BR/>These billboards appear to be on government land - or land controlled by this group:<BR/><BR/>http://www.co.hamilton.in.us/departments.asp?id=5754<BR/><BR/>The Hoosier Heritage Port Authority - the fair train people - owns RR rights-of-way throughout Marion County.<BR/><BR/>Did they get the money and if so what have they done with it. had to be hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237857691537702382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-84258443876829388752008-05-16T19:18:00.000-05:002008-05-16T19:18:00.000-05:00Ballard gets blamed for crime in Indy just a few weeks after taking office, and I AM naive?Bart Lieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294734264133374462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-91248910925404092782008-05-16T14:25:00.000-05:002008-05-16T14:25:00.000-05:00Peterson did initiate the legal action to have the billboards removed. As we all know, the legal process is lengthy and the fruits of Bart's labors are just being seen now. If you think that Ballard took office in January and he was responsible for the billboards being removed in May then you are very naive about the legal process.artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-27154229977874630062008-05-16T10:09:00.000-05:002008-05-16T10:09:00.000-05:00Peterson and Ballard both deserve credit. Peterson because he initiated the process and fought for years in court to have the billboards removed. And Ballard because he ignored last-minute pleas by the billboard owners to let them stay.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519737020352873595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-73974620677610956332008-05-16T06:25:00.000-05:002008-05-16T06:25:00.000-05:00In fairness to Peterson, his legal department did seek enforcement of the ordinance. The billboard owners blocked the City's enforcement efforts for years through drawn out litigation.Gary R.
