Vaughn, Ballard, Barnes & Thornburg, etc., are a repudiation of my entire upbringing.

They taught me to be good and work hard, when they should have instructed me to be sleazy and steal from everyone so that you can make rich friends who will put you in the right spots.

Strange Melangton is close in spelling to and probably sounds like Megalodon. Megalodon was one of the largest known predators in vertebrate history. The Sports Establishment in this City is certainly a predator of tax dollars, and a parasite that cannot exist on it's own. The Sports Establishment must have a host to exist and we tax payers are the host.

So buckle up tax payers "new attractions for the Speedway" means a healthy dose Corporate Welfare. Roller Coasters, zip lines, water park, arcades, etc., all will bought and paid for with some bogus Private-Public Partnership.

Vaughn will continue in his
unofficial role as Shogun to Mayor Blowhole. We still have that Sucker (opps Soccer) Stadium to build too.

From IBJ of August 13, 2014 - General Manager Peter Wilt promises team officials will be back in front of the state General Assembly during its next session to discuss financing for a new stadium.
