On a side note; isn't the land Market sq sat on owned by Dick Lugar?. I heard that many years ago the city did a century long lease on it And it was originally put in his moms name. ?

I'd be interested in knowing just how many of "Indianapolis downtown, inc's" employees, if ANY, actually LIVE downtown.

What becomes of the two jail properties? That will provide two prime real estate spots ripe for redevelopment within the downtown TIF district. You better believe there will be public subsidies offered to a chosen developer within the downtown mafia to develop those sites.

One thing I've noticed from Ballard: "Corruption is as corruption does."

-Bike lanes that don't make sense
-Bike lanes on 45 MPH streets
-Bike lane in Broad Ripple
-Corrupt "Frank G. Straub/Greg Ballard Regional Operations Center" at Eastgate that stinks to high heaven and is not occupied!
-Flaherty & Collins get the MSA site
-Police are abandonded, understaffed, and have no basic equipment or supplies (cars, staples, post it notes, paper clips, forms)

Woodward & Bernstein said it best: "Follow the money!"

Why is the Southern District of Indiana lacking in corruption criminal filings compared to the Northern District of Indiana????
