1:03:

No. Indy is open season for public pilfering, and not one media outlet dares to investigate or report on it.

It's a little Soviet Union going on over here. If you dare report the truth, the entire city will shun you, and you won't be able to buy or sell a thing here.

Gary, Does any taxpayer have standing to sue the city or city council for this illegal act?

Out-of-state reporter here who just recently stumbled on this blog. Does Indianapolis not have any print or TV reporters who investigate public corruption? I wish I had these kind of stories fall in my lap to cover as part of my regular beat. Wow. I really mean, WOW!

Hooboy! and "Amen!" to Flogger (9:28) and Gary (9:34).

As for Fred's frustration... I have to believe every person on our Indianapolis City County Council knows damned perfectly well and good all the laws broken on this particular Greg Ballard scam and previous successful and/or failed to pass Greg Ballard schemes. How many other ways can Fred describe "illegal and criminal"? Our Councilors use feigned ignorance of the law as a personal excuse to work in favor of the People. Other than Christine Scales, what a gaggle of goofballs and deceivers we have for a Council.

You can see the frustration on Fred's face every time he explains for the umpteenth time how many laws have been ignored or broken by this administration. It's become an exercise in futility for him to attempt to provide legal advice to the council.

Fred Biesecker doing a lot of work. However, in the end it will be nothing more than words on paper. The Democrats have stood by and just watched this train wreck of a Mayor. Both political parties have what is in reality a "Cease Fire" Agreement between them. This Cease Fire Agreement also encompasses the Judicial System too.

Yet another "criminal and illegal" Greg ...

Yet another "criminal and illegal" Greg Ballard deal which is good for his friends and thoroughly bad for Marion County residents. And of the many questionably ethical or outright illegal scams our awful mayor perpetrates upon the People, this particular deal is truly so very criminal and illegal as noted, outlined, and analyzed in the article.

Liberal Democrat Zach Adamson, now somewhat politically "safe" since his Democrat machine coronated him a City Council District representative and who is without any meritorious political challenger in the upcoming election, wants to make this illegal scheme legal with some type of franchising arrangement? Seriously, Zach... are you again on the pipe or on something because clear thinking individuals would never tolerate the wholesale prostitution of our laws as has Indy's own personal tyrant, Greg Ballard.

In light of the fact that America has a lawless White House dictator who tramples the US Constitution unstopped by a US Congress which long ago abdicated its Constitutional role and it legal powers, is it any wonder we have majority of Indianapolis City County Councilors under the wholly ineffective Maggie Lewis allowing Herr Greg "Adolph" Ballard to dig his heels into the playground sand and to steal and bully his way to his corrupt ends? We are seeing political theft and corruption on a scale unknown since the days of Dale Brown.

Had Democrat Lying Joe Hogsett when he was United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana done something, anything, to address the destruction of Indianapolis public safety under tyrant Ballard we local Hoosiers would not be witnessing the wholesale disregard for legalities our awful Mayor Greg Ballard exhibits on a daily basis.

Why should everyday Marion County residents like me not disregard traffic laws, not pilfer, not engage in pick pocketing, not engage in theft and home invasions, not doing anything illegal when the City's role model shows himself to be above any law, above any moral or ethical underpinning, and to be unrestrained by any social norm a civil society would demand?

Government is coercion and force, so hoping that it will follow some mythical Rule of Law is hopeless. Hate the State and come on board the Anarcho-Capitalist Train of Murray Rothbard and Lew Rockwell. In this case, government-on-government fighting is good.

Even though the Council continues to be told about...

2015-07-23T08:25:20.975-05:00

Even though the Council continues to be told about all these illegal actions taken by the Ballard administration, if they are not going to push the judiciary to at least hear and weigh in nothing will be done. All the bluster in the world is not going to "shame" Ballard into stopping his illegal actions. As we well know the AG, Curry and the US Attorney apparently have no problem with his unlawful actions. Also, I see by yesterday's news that we actually have a US Attorney for the Southern District of Indianapolis. Maybe he can only handle one investigation at a time. When the newsbite just mentioned that the FBI was serving warrants I had hoped they would be shown on the 25th floor of the CCB.

2015-07-23T08:01:16.641-05:00

"As I've said before, the rule of law has completely broken down in this state and this city. Special laws spring into existence for the benefit of political insiders who are permitted to steal our public assets for their exclusive personal use with the assistance of people who supposedly took an oath of office to uphold the constitution, state laws and local ordinances that supposedly govern us."

There is, indeed, no Rule of Law in Indiana. Indiana is entirely governed by special laws, special courts and special rulings, hand-tailored for the desired outcome in every case.

Indiana does not have a Rule of Law. Indiana's legal power and legal order is whatever the people who own the state want it to be, at any moment.

Thanks again, Gary, for doing all you do to shine light on these corrupt deals. I watched the meeting on the public access channel last night. I wanted to reach through the TV and strangle both the pompous, arrogant David Rosenberg and my corrupt city council member of ROC corruption infamy, Ben Hunter, defend the agreement as good for the city.
