Years ago when I was on staff at the Dem State Committee I recall Mike was just getting out of law school and was involved in politics thru Young Democrats which didn't amount to much. Looks like he's done well riding off the influence peddling learned in the Bayh camps.<BR/>Lake County politics are something they don't teach in civics class. I recall a Dem candidate for a state office dropping off $100,000 in small bills in the back of Hatcher's limo under city hall in Gary. The candidate came in third.Pastrict ran his own show and always had a couple of toes over the legal line but the guy was a helluva lot of fun. I don't think Pannos was ever in that league but somebody has to take the reins at some point I suppose.<BR/>Some always thought that they should build a moat around Lake County to seperate it from the rest of the state.<BR/>$16 mil, that's a decent amount of change!!! Best of luck to Carter. He'll need it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-88653691969693918422007-03-30T08:31:00.000-05:002007-03-30T08:31:00.000-05:00you may be confusing him with fellow NW Ind Greek American Democrat Peter Mannous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-70390522672784094162007-03-30T07:58:00.000-05:002007-03-30T07:58:00.000-05:00Uh, I thought Pannos was in jail.
