Ben Hunter is no different than Lincoln Plowman...He accepted campaign contributions from the ROC building owner, then was able to pass through the council, as Chairman of the Public Safety Criminal Justice Committee, the lease agreement for the ROC. Now he is on the council investigative committee to determine the legitimacy of the ROC lease agreement. Anyone see a problem with this??

I can't say this enough! The bond rating of Indianapolis was AAAA (Yes, that['s 4 A's!) when Ballard took office. It is now down to AA (2 A's). Now for all you (not you Gary) people that skipped business class - this means every time the city borrows money it costs more!

Deals like these will eventually drive the bond rating to one A (a single A!) This is not good - Repeat not good!!!

What needs to happen here is either a Federal Grand Jury or Marion County Grand Jury seated and presented with the money trail.

Does the ROC track to Chicago connections? Whose relatives are involved? What else happened?

Did Frank Straub have authority to sign the contract without Corporation Counsel review?

Oh, I believe that a proper and thorough investigation would most likely lead to criminal charges...
