The Marion County Building Authority could build and manage a complex at a much cheaper price to taxpayers. Ballard has never made a decision since he's been in office that would benefit taxpayers; it's all about maximizing rewards for people who contribute to his campaign, pay to send him and Winnie on free trips out of state, treat him to dinner, lavish gifts on him and otherwise treat a complete buffoon like him like he's relevant--at least when they're standing face to face with him. As soon as he turns his back, they're all cracking jokes about what a socially awkward, man on the take he is. Gary R.

If my memory is correct, does that mean Greg wants taxpayers to foot the bill for his soccer stadium but wants a private company to house our courts? I hope I'm simply confused. Regardless of who "wins" the bidding (or opens their pockets up), Greg will make sure to build the this thing out in Plainfield, voluntarily forfeiting dollars spent at restaurants and office space to Hendricks County.
