IPS is down to a fraction of the students it had 20 years ago and for good reason.<BR/>WHAT THE HELL IS LEFT FOR THE "NEW INSIDERS"? <BR/>Compare Monroe Gray and Beurt SerVaas as CCC presidents and you'll know there is nothing left for the "outsiders now insiders".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-17210037365686217402007-10-05T08:58:00.000-05:002007-10-05T08:58:00.000-05:00After multiple posts on this subject, it finally hit me this morning...the reason Julia is holding on for dear life (literally).<BR/><BR/>Whether we like it or not, the following is true: the Center (mostly black) political establishment has felt shut out for decades. They believe certain offices, entities, etc., are "theirs" and because it's all they had for decades, they hold on while others attack. Sometimes they hold on too long.<BR/><BR/>It leads to an arrogance whose underlying cause is regretable. An outsider's view is always more skeptical, more protective. They believe they're still outsiders.<BR/><BR/>Well, welcome to Marion County 2007. Center's establishment is no longer "outsider." We have a Democratic two-term mayor who is trying to do a good job, and basically has...but his failure to clamp down on this nonsense has led to widespread shenanigans. Because the former "outsiders" are now "insiders", behaving boorishly, protecting every square inch or perceived or actual turf.<BR/><BR/>There is no other explanation for: Monroe Gray as president, a pitiful whoring of the permit process for 300 East, Monroe Gray holding two powerful jobs, King Ro foisting his incompetent wife on all of us and demanding his colleagues support her, Ron Gibson in trouble on multiple fronts and behaving like a punk (compensating?), an inner-city school system that is bleeding cash and is protected only because it was once the exclusive turf of these "outsiders"...do I need to go on?<BR/><BR/>It's a sad state of affairs. 2007 is not the year this mess will bring down Bart Peterson, which is a testimony to his strengths. But it will be soon, and some good people are going to get caught in the backwash.<BR/><BR/>I have no specific answers (no, the Bart Lies! crowd doesn't either...), but that doesn't make the observations less true.<BR/><BR/>Sad, really.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-67623088908908189272007-10-05T08:41:00.000-05:002007-10-05T08:41:00.000-05:00There's far too much dirty money at stake for Carson to step down right now.

The work isn't getting done now.<BR/><BR/>If she's there, I might disagree with her, but at least she'd be on duty. But her health problems continue - and while you might like to sweep them under the rug, that is clearly not fair to the citizens of the 7th District. And, I might add, it's not fair to Congresswoman Carson, either, who really should choose to focus on her own health and move on.<BR/><BR/>And, you'll notice, Wilson, I haven't called her anything but Congresswoman Carson in my many posts. So if you want to go after others for calling her names, you cannot include me in that group.<BR/><BR/>ARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-18329983197154807692007-10-04T22:35:00.000-05:002007-10-04T22:35:00.000-05:00Why can people not disagree with Julia Carson without stooping to personal insults about her integrity, her personal appearance or her family.

The judgment resulted from a suit filed against Mid Regional Concrete Inc. by Charlotte, N.C.-based Sunbelt Rentals, formerly NationsRent Inc. Gray could not be reached for comment. The decision is the latest in a long string of business troubles for Gray, a Democrat. Yesterday, the Republican who is vying for Gray’s council seat, Kurt Webber, charged that Gray is in a conflict of interest by holding the seat and working for the Indianapolis Fire Department. Webber’s challenge followed an Indianapolis Star story showing that few records exist to document Gray’s work within the fire department.<BR/><BR/>Posted by Indianapolis Observer at 12:17 PMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-83791025025421519632007-10-04T20:13:00.000-05:002007-10-04T20:13:00.000-05:00I think she should resign, too, but isn't the name calling getting a bit overboard?
