At a rally, I told the father of the deceased victim that he would have a hard time ever getting justice in this matter of IMPD, but that I knew that he would go as far as he could, for his son.Marycatherine Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674049191412285346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-69252775818892057542012-04-18T19:16:43.322-05:002012-04-18T19:16:43.322-05:00Straub has failed miserably at every level of leadership measurement that exists. <br /><br />Obviously he did not read the mayor&#39;s book on leadership.<br /><br />Straub is mismanaging funds, a joke as a manager, implementing cronyism, bringing NY-style corruption to Indianapolis, and still has not established a command staff that is working toward a common goal!<br /><br />As for kickbacks, paybacks, or whatever you want to call it: why do former east coast associates of Straub get expensive contracts of make-work, do-nothing jobs? Why do contracts for unneeded EMS badges and badges for others in public safety go to eastern companies? Why does he have the largest personal staff in the history of the city? Why did he seize the media relations office of the police and fire dept? Why did he seize the crime statistic unit of the police department? (There have been posts about CompStat that deal with that matter in more detail).<br /><br />Now this New Yorker comes to town and talks about several decades of corruption????? Where did he get his information? -or is he just making up something to bolster his poor image?<br /><br />Straub believes the police department is &quot;pretty white&quot; instead of well-qualified examples of The Best Indianapolis has! <br /><br />Straub panders to the loud-mouth ignorants in town....trying to gain favor, instead of bringing them together for the betterment our community. <br /><br />I issue this challenge to The Mayor: Hold a press conference and discuss any positive contribution that Straub has brought.CircleCityScribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691157547732269477noreply@blogger.com
