There are more than a handful of people who read this blog, anon. 11:35. The web stats indicate it is read by thousands daily. As for the lack of coverage by the the mainstream media, welcome to Indianapolis. This blog reported extensively throughout Ballard's failed attempt at privatizing the criminal justice system and the corruption and law-breaking taking place to make that happen. The council's own legal council testified at multiple meetings about the legality issues. The mainstream media just chose to ignore what he said. The management of the Star, IBJ and the TV stations each have management persons sitting on the board of the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee, a pseudo-government nonprofit agency housed in our City-County Building that pushed this project. GIPC said it was good for Indianapolis and so the reporters at these media outlets received their marching orders to report nothing but favorable stories about the project.

Nobody cares. Mr. Welsh must be some kind of a kook. If this were a news story, wouldn't it be covered by the actual media, TV stations, Indy Star, IBJ, etc? I mean, everything I read made me feel like, if it were true, I should be really, really outraged. But if it were true, wouldn't there be a somewhat mainstream media outlet that would have a profit motive in bringing the story to tens of thousands of citizens, rather than the few handfuls of people who read this blog?

What the hell could those two law firms have possibly done for $4M on a project that never got off the ground? That must be a hell of a lot of billable hours, even at their grossly inflated hourly rates. No way are those fees legit.
