Look into this issue further. There is complete computer/technology infrastructure failure with Indianapolis-Marion County at all levels in all agencies and department regardless of party. They are running XP on 6-7 year old computers whose lease on the computers expired 2 years ago on some computers. The software programs utilized are not remotely integrated or compatible. Truly, third world technology.

Is that like the firearms training unit having access to firearms websites blocked?

Messer and Rokita are the same shallow establishment airheads. One can replace the other without noticing the difference. As I was writing this, I wondered "Did Messer go to Wabash?"

Sure enough, he did, just like Rokita.

There is some very weird stuff going on at Wabash.

I would consider this a badge of honor. I can hear the conversation of the fools when this was being discussed!

Why would a city employee have any reason to listen to Garrison? The last few times I've tuned him in he was talking about going to war with ISIS and protecting Israel at all costs, sprinkled in with some useless interviews of Rokita, Messer, et al. talking about stopping Obama.

I consider Advance Indiana the best source of local & state government reporting. Time and again AI has scooped the MSM. That said, AI should be left available to the CCB employees.

However, I have serious objection with paying taxpayer money for streaming Amos Brown or any radio station. Taxpayers should not pay for that type of streaming, it takes too much bandwith and is an unneeded expense. If the individual workplace rules allow playing of radios, then the employees may bring their own radios and use them in an appropriate manner on their desk. Streaming of radio, internet shopping for personal goods, etc should be prohibited on city-paid bandwidth.

Why didn't they block access to Abdul's Indy Politics? There's nothing on there but Republican propaganda.

Beth White chairs the technology board which made the decision. Shame on her.

If they want to listen to the radio, they should be using a radio instead of their computer. Online shopping sites haven't been blocked either. What does that have to do with work? The board's policy seems arbitrary. You can still access a ton of websites that are not related to city government in any way.
