The rats have been scurrying from the keeling SS Greg Ballard since Ryan Vaughn was whisked away to political safety from his $120,000 + perks/bennies (!) COS "salary" to his equally overpaying Sports Corp. position.

Why do we even bother to pay the arrogant and ineffective Maggie Lewis and the other hacks on the City County Council? Other than Christine Scales and maybe a very few other Councilors at times [but rarely consistently like Scales] these insiders are completely worthless... except at taking both sides of an issue (hello, Council District 19!) or excelling at personal promotion (hello District 16).

Thanks for the correction, anon. 5:50 a.m.

Coal powered cars in a state of EPA threats to coal use? What could go wrong?

The cars are illegally parked. Mayor Ballard isn't a dictator. He just can't decree public parking spaces belong to a private company for their exclusive use. Any police officer could legally ticket and have those Blue Indy cars towed.

So, if you park in a Blue Indy space what happens?...

So, if you park in a Blue Indy space what happens? What is the basis for issuing a ticket/towing?

The answer is very clear that Ballard broke the law by simply unilaterally declaring public parking spaces available for Blue Indy's exclusive for-profit use. This is just one of many laws he's blatantly violated during his tenure as mayor. If we had a real prosecutor in this town, he would have long ago been charged with the multiple felonies he's committed over the past 8 years.

They appear to be moving forward though. Just put...

They appear to be moving forward though. Just put in new charging stations at 56th and Illinois taking up about 8 parking spaces historically used by the Food Emporium employees. Not sure where they will park now. Ballard has done a great job of creating demand for his metered spaces where there never was an issue before.

2015-07-09T10:44:28.589-05:00

Does any one know the status regarding the review (by the City or the CCC) of whether the City/Blue Indy followed the appropriate legal processes on the "taking" of the parking spots for charging stations? Consensus is that the legal processes weren't followed but now who officially is looking into this?

2015-07-09T10:21:25.224-05:00

It will not happen but.... if I were assigned one of these vehicles, I'd request the city to install a charging station at my home. Are the people assigned these vehicle expected to pay for the increase in their electric bill?????

2015-07-09T09:34:48.740-05:00

We are being told in the owners manual, it specifically says to be used on a 220 volt plug, not a 110. More than 2 officers have damage to their homes because of these stupid cars.....

2015-07-09T09:06:41.891-05:00

Good question. There should have been an emergency hearing due to the nature of the lawsuit. Everything is effed up in this city. Nothing works like it is supposed to work. The rule of law is dead. Politicians are taking bribes at will. The US Attorney's Office is only interested in chasing after child pornographers. It could care less that hundreds of millions of our tax dollars are being pilfered by the most corrupt politicians in all of America. I don't know why every crook in America doesn't relocate to Indianapolis. It's just a free-for-all here. There's no risk of getting prosecuted for public corruption as long as you are cutting the right people in on the deal.

2015-07-09T08:38:53.587-05:00

Does anyone know when the hearing on the Council's lawsuit is? Also, rumor has it that the DPW Chief of Staff, another of Ballard's "created" position's and a chief proponent of the electric car sweetheart deal has resigned.
