If not... why not?Pete Boggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948800585492289789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1219116087801553382015-09-02T18:54:24.675-05:002015-09-02T18:54:24.675-05:00914, while I hate that building proposed near Kessler and College, as do most all folks in that part of meridian Kessler, part of me hopes it does get the green light. The developer pissed off a lot of very vocal and wealthy residents last night and I&#39;d love nothing more than to watch MK residents unleash hell on the downtown hacks rubber stamping these crummy development deals. Should make for a colorful hearing in a few weeks if the developer sticks to their guns with the zoning request.

I have no doubt I am but one of the legion sensing I am lied to by those on both sides of the aisle. Nothing in politics ever occurs without being planned in advance... nothing. [Good Luck, Meridian/Kessler: that apartment building on the old AT&amp;T site <b>will happen</b> <i>if the politicians on both sides want it</i>, your voice be damned.] Raising valid questions and concerns often results in elected &quot;public servants&quot; deriding citizens as &quot;nutjobs&quot; [or with even worse calumny].<br /><br />Just the other day on broadcast news video I saw the Fountain Square Councilor with two mouths completely ignore the public outrage of Vision Fleet and Blue Indy by urging that the concerned citizens move beyond their &quot;negativity&quot;. Really? That&#39;s the problem, that&#39;s the issue??? Wow. Just wow... <br /><br />There is a huge and growing undercurrent among voters everywhere that the career politicos are missing... either intentionally or through their sheer ignorance. The rapidly growing voter discontent with the political status quo and the corruption endemic to both Democrat and Republican politicians is beginning to break surface.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-6154269156652843222015-09-02T07:45:31.506-05:002015-09-02T07:45:31.506-05:00He didn&#39;t just accuse them of making stuff up...he directly called them liars. This ingrate is the epitome of why people do not trust their own government anymore. Hogsett typically absent on this issue as well. Didn&#39;t the lesson from Bart Peterson in not listening to the public cost him an election? And no one..not ONE has the courage to file federal corruption charges on Ballard. I guess they are too busy busting sandwich guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-36474573961597343582015-09-02T05:07:13.818-05:002015-09-02T05:07:13.818-05:00<br /><b>&quot;Mayor Ballard accused the council members of just making stuff up...&quot;</b><br /><br /><b><i>THE KETTLE CALLING THE POT BLACK</i></b>Chas.
