Wilson? Who says the people at tonight's rally are only white?

How foolish of you to bring this down to race!

HOOSIERS FOR FAIR TAXATION is staging a photo op and video rally outside the entrances to 1449 N. Pennsylvania tonight from 5:30 to 7pm. (WEDNESDAY)

The rally goers will be photographing (in high res) every single person going in and out of the building.

Why?

Because the Democratic Party is hosting a fundraiser and targeted only MBE's and suggested via a veiled threat that if they didn't turn out and spend $100 each to help keep Monroe Gray on the council, that the awarding of contracts to minorities would be in jeapordy.

We wouldn't care if they held a fundraiser and invited everybody. But we call foul when they target only minorities and suggest that without the current band of thieves in control of the City Council that minority businesses will suffer.

Hopefully a lot of LEO's will drive by tonight and honk in support !

To the posters who keep talking about yard signs being illegal more than 30 days out:
Section 734 of the Marion County Zoning Ordinances exempts political signs from the 30 day rule.
(m) Noncommercial opinion sign, as defined in section 734-501 shall be permitted,
provided the following provisions are met:
(1) Noncommercial opinion signs may be displayed as freestanding signs, as
follows:
a. Number of signs per street frontage--Five (5).
b. Maximum sign area--Six (6) square feet.
c. Maximum sign height--Four (4) feet.
d. Setback--Not within the public right-of-way, nor within the clear sight
triangular area.
(2) Window signs--Regulated per the applicable zoning district provisions
pertaining to window signs.
(3) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in section 734-201(m)(1),
noncommercial opinion signs may be displayed on a sign face that has been
legally established to display advertising signs, in the same manner and size as
an advertising sign is permitted to be displayed on the same sign face.
(4) Noncommercial opinion signs shall have no time limits.
definition of noncommercial opion sign:
Noncommercial opinion sign. A sign, which does not advertise products, goods,
businesses, or services and which expresses an opinion or point of view, such as, a political,
religious, or other ideological sentiment or support or opposition to a candidate or proposition for

Any questions?

Who should take care of the Monroe Gray problem?

If Gray has done something illegal, it is Brizzi's job.

If Gray has done something that violates CCC ethics, the CCC could take care of it.

If he is a dishonest, incompetent, freeloader, the voters a responsible for taking care of it. The mayor shouldn't interfer with the will of the people in Gray's district.

2007-10-02T19:22:00.000-05:00

Its a
"security measure" designed to prevent terrorism. With all the terrorists in Indy, (aside from those on the 25th floor) the CCB could be a real target.

However, Indiana Open Door Law, allows recording device in public meetings.
IC 5-14-1.5-3
Open meetings; secret ballot votes; member participating by electronic means of communication
Sec. 3. (a) Except as provided in section 6.1 of this chapter, all meetings of the governing bodies of public agencies must be open at all times for the purpose of permitting members of the public to observe and record them.

So, we are stuck between a law that is in place FOR the people, and a security measure that is there to PROTECT people.

Most people will not take a camera into these meetings because they are disruptive to the meeting. (Wilson was disruptive, as is the media) Most people will not record these meetings because they would be difficult to record.
Some people may want to take photos of certain people, like Wilson wanted to of Andre Carson.
It seems to be a bogus rule that is almost un-enforceable, but Barts people seem to be untouchable.
We'll see how that goes in Nov.

Not in Wilsons defense, but he did get prior permission, and I think that anyone else would get the same if they asked.

Maybe something for someone to think about on the 8th.

2007-10-02T19:20:00.000-05:00

If a civil deputy sheriff, working for a Democrat elected sheriff, is wrongfully allowing a Democrat operative to break established rules on the use of city-county building, isn't it called RACKETEERING???

Since Official Misconduct is a FELONY: Is Wilson Allen guilty of Conspiracy to Commit Official Misconduct by virtue of being the instrumentality of the crime???????????

2007-10-02T19:07:00.000-05:00

Seems to me that the head of CCB security, a civil deputy sheriff, does NOT HAVE AUTHORITY to suspend CCB rules & regulations!

Where is Carl Brizzi???? It is called Official Misconduct, and it IS A FELONY CRIME!

A public servant who:
(1) knowingly or intentionally performs an act that the public servant is forbidden by law to perform;...commits Official Misconduct, a Class D FELONY!

Aren't the CCB rules law by virtue of a city ordinance? If so, then the head of CCB Security, a civil deputy sheriff, MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. (If not a law, then certainly the head of CCB Security, a civil deputy sheriff, has NO AUTHORITY to set aside building rules...and, as for discrimination, why were the rules set aside for a DEMOCRAT party operative???? Sounds like dirty politics, cronyism, CORRUPTION!!! (If not criminal)

2007-10-02T18:55:00.000-05:00

Bart Lies needs to do some research on political signs...that city law was passed years ago when the GOP had the mayor's office and lopsided control of the council. You may NOT put a political yard sign in your yard until 30 days prior to the election...all of these Ballard signs are illegal.....that says something about what kind of mayor he would make...I did exaggerate a little...there aren't that many Ballard yard signs.

all they gotta do is be in police uniforms and the party will be short lived. We know that "po-po" has a way with breaking up parties where drug dealers, thieves and felons hang out. That just Monroe Gray

2007-10-02T18:27:00.000-05:00

Wilson, isn't that what you were doing at the city-county building when you had a camera (Democrat exception) in violation of the CCB rules???

Wilson got special permission from Shirley Challis, head of CCB security. Of course, Frank would have to answer to Julia if he was told NO!

There is a ruling against the prhibition of cameras and recording devices in the CCB. Now all we need is a challenger!
May have to challenge that at the next CC meeting.

2007-10-02T18:10:00.000-05:00

I didn't know the Democrats had the power to dictate what I put in my own yard or when I could put it there.

It's too bad they don't hold their own to the same standard - booting Monroe Gray from their party would be a good starting place if they are so dedicated to righting wrongs.

2007-10-02T16:19:00.000-05:00

Anyone who shows up tomorrow at the Democratic Fundraiser to support Monroe Gray WILL have their photos taken by the activists. They are taking action because the fundraiser targeted only minority businesses as a veiled threat that unless the current council remains in place, city MBE contracts could be compromised.

They will be there from 5:00 - 7pm with video and cameras.

They will also display signs for passerbys to bring awareness of Monroe Gray's corruption.

He won't be incident commander with that high rank, now, will he?

Staff run car sounds a lot like "$83,000/year observer."

Gary, Thanks so much for your hard work on this blog. You bring an entirely new dimension to our local political campaigns which has been sorely missing. I think you are having a real impact on some of these political races in a positive way. These candidates read what you write here and are taking it very seriously. Let's just hope enough voters are paying attention to help turn this city around.

Brizzi is too scared to charge Gray with anything.
He won't even ask a special prosecutor to look into it.

Brizzi is a lame prosecutor.

Wilson, Gray might be re-elected. People are tired of his crap. He may be on his way out also. Even IF he does win again, he won't be President of the CCC.

2007-10-02T13:59:00.000-05:00

Carl Brizzi needs to step up to the plate and announce the filing of criminal charges against those involved in the "Sweet Pea Racquet"!

I'd call it racketeering. The voter fraud, lock-out of voters from the budget meeting, Ghost Employment of the Democrat city council president, the variance granted by the wife of the city council majority leader to the city council president to put a bar in a government building, the no-bid concrete contract given the city council president by the co-owner of the city council president's bar (who happens to be on the Airport Authority Board), the appearance in criminal courtrooms on TV while apparently on the city fire payroll, appearance at illegal gambling houses and drug arrests....it sounds like racketeering and corrupt business influence.
