>>The rampant rumor is that Bosma acted like a dumbass and pursued an affair with the long-time girlfriend of a well known libertarian and it destroyed the woman's relationship and her job at some company Bosma is associated with. <<

We all know affairs between consenting adults like this go on all over both ends of Market Street, unnoticed until the right person gets pissed off and creates a scandal, refer to David Petraeus for more details.

I'll clarify my previous statement ... "sexting with a minor".

Just when we thought this turd was finally flushed... It reappears in the punch bowl of city government.

Of course Ballard wants a new stadium to go. He and the council can't fund basic needs like putting down pavement that lasts more that a few years before turning into a moonscape of craters. But when well connected millionaires like this hold their hands out he and the council can't move their fat feet fast enough. Everywhere we turn it seems the public purse only exists to line the pockets of the wealthy and well connected few.

Sir Hailstone. What if he had been caught doing worse than sexting?

The rampant rumor is that Bosma acted like a dumbass and pursued an affair with the long-time girlfriend of a well known libertarian and it destroyed the woman's relationship and her job at some company Bosma is associated with.

Lots of people know, supposedly even Abdul but nobody investigated or reported on it.

Wonder what it would take to pry the story out of the people involved or have they been placated already?

It's just a rumor. But, if it is true the party should probably find a new speaker to minimize the damage.

Good point, anon. 5:23. The public should assume the amendment allows the new stadium to be built anywhere Ozdemir orders the City to build it since the Turk is the one calling the shots here and all of the players who supposedly represent us have been purchased by him no different than the common street whore.

Anonymous 2:05 is ignorant oh how the Tea Party looks at the world, those names he listed are crony Capitalist, RINO's, Establishment Republicans, NOT constitutionalist,
or Tea Party folks, if he would educate himself, he would find he has more in common with the Tea folks than the Democrats and Republicans.

A lady who operates an adult business the newspaper and local TV stations were talking up recently seems to have some interesting stories about Brian Bosma she doesn't mind sharing with anyone willing to listen.

>>How that guy continues to be elected is beyond me<<

Bosma's house district is gerrymandered. It consists of the million dollar homes on Geist and the southern parts of Fall Creek Twp in HamCo. Short of getting caught sexting or a criminal conviction he can't lose there.

Anon 2:05 makes an excellent point. A great many areas of the City are in a state of deterioration, infrastructure is failing, and crime seems to be increasing on all fronts.

We have idiot City Councilors who want to "give" us the environmental visual pollution of digital sign-boards, were more than happy to dole out OUR $18.5 Million to Corporate Pimp Bill Oesterle and Corporate Welfare Queen Angie Hicks before the phony proposal was pulled on the fake excuse of the RFRA passage, rushed the ROC scam through without even checking on Republican attorney David Brooks' one-sided lease for the ROC owner that financially rapes Brooks' party's constituents for years to come, etc., etc., etc.

I have to believe the City intentionally purchases less than a premium grade asphalt pavement and with the corrupt Ballard at the helm we are probably paying double for inferior materials. Doesn't it seem that only months after a road has been re-paved it looks much worse than its age and wear should indicate?

But what do I know? I am only a lowly over-taxed taxpayer, not a politician (for which I thank God), and I am not an attorney (I don't have the stomach for lies and legal theft) like David Brooks, Susan Brooks, and Bob Grand, and Brian Bosma.

I've heard several people say Ozdemir billed Carmel's Sophia project for materials and work provided to Todd Maurer's 3 Mass Avenue condos on Mass Avenue in downtown Indy. I wish someone had investigated those claims. Todd's daddy, Mickey, seems to have an on-again, off-again relationship with Ozdemir. Since the IBJ as of late has stopped reporting on all of his corrupt dealings, Mickey and Ersal must be best buds again.

2015-04-04T15:43:37.468-05:00

Gary,
Did you notice the Turkish Society of Indiana POS building was recently torn down at the corner of Main and Old Meridian in Carmel? Ozdemir & or Company evidently own all the property between the Meijer Store and that intersection. He does donate $$ to the Turkish Society of America and evidently provided a building for no one to visit. (NEVER saw a vehicle there)

Also interesting that the Indy Eleven had several practices scheduled at the Westfield Sports Complex in March of this year. Seems the current Westfield Mayor is smitten with Ozdemir as well.

Speaking of Current,did I mention Ozdemir lists himself as Chairman of the Board of Directors for Current Publishing?

Every time I hit a pot hole I am reminded about the Tea Party’s “Dirty Dozen” civic leaders that include City Councilors, Ben Hunter, Jack Sandlin, Mike McQuillen, and Aaron Freeman. I do not think that the Democrats could be more corrupt than these four. We have a Cricket field and next we will have a Soccer field paid for with tax dollars that could have gone to fix our third-world streets. Shame on Ben Hunter, Jack Sandlin, Mike McQuillen, and Aaron Freeman. I hope that you hit a pot hole that tears your car in half!

2015-04-04T13:45:03.590-05:00

That State House deal about renovating Carroll Stadium for Indy Eleven use didn't make a bit of sense to me from the day it was announced and now I know why... it was a sham deal intended to be changed in order to resurrect a taxpayer paid Taj Mahal for Mr. Ozdemir. Indiana has the most corrupt, self-serving, ego-freak legislators money can buy and the gaggle is led by Chief Male Prostitute Brian Bosma- a man who sure appears to have far less ethics than he has hair on his head. What a great example of what law schools turn out. How that guy continues to be elected is beyond me but if the French can adore Jerry Lewis as a comedic genius I guess anything is possible.

This is how they get this kind of crap through the legislature so easily. The Scar keeps everyone distracted by phony stories so the sheeple fail to see the train that's about to hit them head on.

2015-04-04T12:06:50.033-05:00

This is why I read Advance Indiana religiously every day. You report what I expect to be able to learn from the Indianapolis Star. Their agenda is all about sports and manufactured scandals tailored to fit their agenda. All of the real news gets pushed aside. Some of the local TV stations occasionally pick up the slack, but they are just as bad as the Star for the most part.
