I wor...This critique by Riggs has familiar lyrics. I worked for Large Corporations my entire work life. We always had a new plan presented to us worker bees from the Top. If and when the New Plan failed it was not a design flaw in the New Plan, it was us Worker Bees who failed. So Riggs and Mayor Blowholes War on Crime has failed, thus blame some one else. <br /><br />I must say I have a real issue with the State using the Religious Establishment to keep a lid on things. <br /><br />The other issue I have is the stunning abject failure of our Sports-Hospitality Industry to generate jobs. We have spent billions on Stadiums and Direct and Indirect Subsidies for this "Industry." The result as I see it is Minimum Wage or near minimum wage Part-Time Jobs. <br /><br />The Web Page for the Indy Public Safety Foundation you directed us to says the following: The Indy Public Safety Foundation maintains a non-remunerated Board of Directors representing a large cross section of the community. The Board conscientiously and carefully maintains oversight of strategic planning, program selection & review, long-range budgeting, and overall operations.<br /><br />Wow what a pile of Corporate Doublespeak. 22 Board Members I counted. 17 Members are White Males, so much for diversity. No African-American Males. Need I say it this is NOT A Cross section of the Indianapolis Population. Perhaps by "Cross Section" they meant a Cross Section of the 1% White Males. Any Comments on that Erica or Tully??? Maybe some of these Board Members have driven through a poor Neighborhoods, but I think I would be safe in saying they do not live in a poor crime ridden neighborhood. <br /><br />Finally, Erica has her usual "Lets All Hug and Pray" Column and everything will be better.
