Look into the Volts cost IMPD 849 dollars a month per car and how the bigwigs are enforcing the term rent instead of lease sicne leasing without public bidding violates the law.

Does anyone believe the owners of this posh hotel will tolerate the Wheeler Mission homeless shelter at its backdoor? The countdown begins for the city to pay a big relocation fee to the nonprofit to remove itself from the view of the patrons to our world class city.

That would be a great place to put the Mayor's Office, all Executive Department Heads and Police Headquarters.

If WE did that, the CCB would free up space for other offices that are now leased over other parts of the city.

I'd be hesitant about tearing down the current CCB if only because the rent is a really good deal and I doubt the powers that be would allow that to happen.

Whoa, call out the EPA the amount of toxic, nauseous gas emanating from the Indiana General Assembly and our Marion County Government is positively over powering. Take a deep breath before you drive through downtown or grab a gas mask and roll up the windows. I would call on the EPA since it appears the Organs of State Security at the Federal, State and Local Level, cannot seem to locate the Stank.

I am certainly no expert on the Law, but is our Law Enforcement simply ignoring all this Quid Quo Pro between the Crony-Capitalists and our Elected Officials or are the Laws written so muddy that virtually nothing is illegal - or combination of both.

Our Local Mega-Media is like the Three Monkeys - Hear No Evil, See No Evil, and Speak No Evil of our Political System.

I read an interesting column in the NY Times by Zepher Teachout who was commenting on the Speaker of the NY Assembly Sheldon Silver being arrested for various corruption charges. Mr. Teachout writes - "Think of campaign donations as the gateway drug to bribes." He states further - "The Campaign Finance System means politicians come pre-corrupted."

True, the building should again be used to hours all City/County offices and the currently used structure torn down.

The absolutely corpulent and corrupt low-intelligence Greg Ballard is no doubt again carrying the water for the deep-pocketed special interests who have bought off and paid for on-the-take Democrats and Republicans- which almost wholly populate the City County Council and the State Legislature.

Perfidious Democrats and Republicans have long used the cities as a cash register for themselves and their friends.

It is time for a change. It can begin with electing Jocelyn-Tandy Adande as Mayor of Indianapolis... a life-long City resident who has done far more concrete against the profiteering Democrats and Republicans other than type out their complaints on an electronic page.
