Anybody expending over $100 in pursuit of an elective office in Indiana must follow the campaign finance reporting requirements, whether for dogcatcher, mayor or governor.<BR/><BR/>Elections are governed by state law, not local ordinances so It's logical a statewide website would be more appropriate than 92 county sites.<BR/><BR/>Detailed maps of the 25 Council Districts can be found on IndyGov.org in the CityCounty Council webpages section.Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1169734855615472632007-01-25T09:20:00.000-05:002007-01-25T09:20:00.000-05:00"...at least to post information about filing for candidacy. Makes me wonder what she's thinking - or if she's thinking at all."<BR/><BR/>Frankly I've found most information about this year's election not from IndyGov and the new Clerk's office but rather from Todd Rokita on the State SoS website. What gets confusing is concerning campaign finance - the info from Rokita is geared towards statewide or General Assembly elections and its different for local elections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1169701065162844712007-01-24T23:57:00.000-05:002007-01-24T23:57:00.000-05:0010:19, it doesn't matter whether there are "four years of Doris Ann's messes to clean up" or not. There is a primary election coming, and it is Beth White's responsibility to communicate with the public about it, or at least to post information about filing for candidacy.

He's shrill on non-budget issues, but on fiscal matters, he's usually spot-on. He took his dad's place on the council, and he's much better. Not that it would've taken much.<BR/><BR/>Ms. McWhirter got spanked in township elections last fall, and has a hateful streak anyway. Good riddance. Would Ms. Pfisterer please follow closely behind? Then, Mr. Plowman. <BR/><BR/>Ike would not win another term. His 2003 election was a fluke and he knew it. That district is mostly in Pike, and it's overwhelmingly Democratic now.<BR/><BR/>On the D side, a few of them should've been thrown over the edge, too: Mr. President, Sherron Franklin, King Ro and Dane Mahern come to mind. <BR/><BR/>Not enough Phil Borsts and Joanne Sanderses on this council. Ditto Mr. Salsberry, a nice man, and Jackie Nytes, Mary M. Adams.<BR/><BR/>Whatever happens, at least Bradford's gone.

She's been in office three weeks. There's four years of Doris Ann's messes to clean up, and I ave it on good authority there are many. Many more than anticipated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1169677317736886762007-01-24T17:21:00.000-05:002007-01-24T17:21:00.000-05:00When you have the dumpster divers of the world out there ready to look only in to your background and not their own party's you can't blame anyone. The time will come, hands will be caught in cookie jars and finally Indy will wake up. <BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, great job there Beth White!

It's a standard one-page form used statewide for all candidacies. Fill it out and get it to the Election Board downtown and you are on the ballot in the primary! If you spend less than $100, you dont have to file campaign finance form.<BR/><BR/>Here's the official Candidate's Guide : http://www.in.gov/sos/elections/pdfs/Candidate_Guide.pdf<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.com
