The shameless abuse he suffered at the hands of Kent Smith is inexcusable. The young attorney did not deserve the treatment he received either. Have we enacted a rule that you must have been born in Indianapolis to serve on a volunteer board? What is going on?artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-7173559849765353562010-01-28T21:11:21.880-05:002010-01-28T21:11:21.880-05:00I am appalled that 16 years of excellent volunteer public service would be rewarded in this fashion. After watching the hearing again, I was still upset enough that I looked for some online discussion of the events Monday night to see if I was missing something. After enjoying your persective, I clicked on the link to the &quot;Had Enough Indiana&quot; blog you referenced. I was surprised to find a response to that blog that was a pretty strong indictment of the entire MCANA organization. Take a look. It made me question whether the MCANA people were really worth the embarassing performance these &quot;politicians&quot; put on that night. More importantly, what did MCANA promise or threaten Smith with that justified his actions at that hearing; and why did he apparently think any of them could help or hurt him based on how he handled that re-appointment?right is righthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463992613648351894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-47821667490575682852010-01-28T13:31:09.379-05:002010-01-28T13:31:09.379-05:00In April, 2009, the federal Department of Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence and Analysis, issued an &quot;analysis&quot; that demonized libertarians, among other Americans, as &quot;right-wing extremists&quot;. I have discovered how unfair, to put it mildly, most of our major media sources in Indianapolis are to Libertarians and independents, and, more and more, how both the Democratic and Republican machine politicians are &#39;pilng on&#39; Libertarians. <br /> <br />This attempt to publicly humiliate Retherford is of no surprise to me. He is in good company.Marycatherine Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674049191412285346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-24183463278601737272010-01-28T11:48:02.570-05:002010-01-28T11:48:02.570-05:00Republicans! The Best Money Can Buy!<br />Is it any wonder that conservatives are abandoning support for them? They are just as bad, if not WORSE, than democrats.<br />It&#39;s as though they FORGOT our Republican ideals.<br />Now, it&#39;s just &quot;anything to keep ME in office.&quot;Concerned Taxpayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952241910289966736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-19275671293191106272010-01-28T02:06:44.702-05:002010-01-28T02:06:44.702-05:00Jose Evans is not officially running for Mayor as of yet.Jon Easterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463536746233150209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-54478644726913803812010-01-27T22:37:19.856-05:002010-01-27T22:37:19.856-05:00Knowing Alan I guarantee he was more pissed then embarrassed!
