Maybe the Star is planning a little more reporting on the Ivy Tech employment plan for politicians, Jon. I personally want Greg Porter's $115,000 gig at HHC. If someone can convince me he actually does legitimate work for that paycheck, I would like to hear it.

When Bauer, Crawford et.al. stop being lobbyists for Ivy Tech and start representing the people then I'll believe in ethics.

For the D and R leaders to come together on the issue so soon before the new session one might think there is a storm on the horizon and the politicians need to put up a good front to avoid scrutiny when the mess comes out.

Just like before a hurricane or tornado. Come together, board up the windows, send out a mass message of unification and then take cover.

There must be a big wind brewing and boy will it stink! Just ask some of the big R and D folks for they know the hundreds of millions of dollars missing from defaulted bonds with State Contracts and the pleas for tax hikes to bail the contractors out. They have had it given to them on a silver platter of the conflicts, the profiteering and the good old boy wrangling.

Boy what a site to see! I hope the R and D groups don't miss one of the holes in their routine that will drag them into the cesspool too.

I'm normally as apt to spend Thanksgiving with the Wicked Witch of the East as praise Speaker Bauer. Well, Ding-Dong, I preliminarily applaud his intent. I smell a rat, er, burning broomstick, something foul.....But, along with Rokita's stab at redistricting-somebody's darn sure put something in the water at the Statehouse. When I hear they're also tackling Kernan-Shepard, township gov't, and illegal hiring then I'll know it's reached my water too.
