He'll talk about the Livability article that ranks us as the third best downtown, but he won't mention that two cities with very mediocre downtowns (Minneapolis and Pittsburgh) were rated above us. He'll say all the right things about crime and potholes while doing nothing. His brother in the streetlight business, or maybe his cousin, will make some bucks. Most importantly, he'll do whatever the DT Mafia tells him to do AND then he will explain it to us in such a way that makes us feel so fortunate to have been raped by men of such stellar character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-38343641498641215952015-08-29T17:14:14.386-05:002015-08-29T17:14:14.386-05:00I really appreciate all of the coverage you have p...I really appreciate all of the coverage you have provided to this Blue Indy scam.

Poor Fred the Council Democrats send him out to perform all that work and research. I presume was paid for it. Then Fred charges up the hill, weapons blazing, Go Fred, Go take that hill and the Democrats sit cowering in their fox holes.<br /><br />Hogshitt, has taken the position Obama did when he took office. No one was going to take the hit for GWB's invasion of Iraq on false, cooked intelligence. No one was going to take a hit for 2007/08 disaster on Wall Street, Too Big to Fail, too Big to Jail. <br /><br />Just yesterday a report from http://arstechnica.com/science/2015/08/new-report-solyndra-executives-lied-to-doe-officials-to-get-loans/ >> Solyndra received substantial loans from the Department of Energy during the financial stimulus that followed Obama's election. DOE's inspector general has weighed in with a report describing its investigation into Solyndra's loans. The report suggests that, while political pressure may have made matters worse, lies by the company's executives were central to the loan failures.<br /><br />Now for the kicker but no surprise >> At the same time, allegations were made that the company's executives weren't fully truthful in the documents they filed with the DOE; several prosecutors started investigations, but no charges were ever made.<br /><br />DOJ declined to prosecute anyone for those misrepresentations. “In early 2015, we were informed that the Department of Justice will not pursue criminal prosecution of Solyndra officials,” DOE’s report noted.<br />==========================================================================<br /><br />I read not long after the Soviet Union collapsed, that the system itself did not fail, but there was massive unsustainable corruption among the Communist Party.

Neither, apparently do any of our City County Councilors who instead shield themselves behind the foolish idea that the multi-billionaire French Blue Indy battery car manufacturer Bollore will refuse to pay "franchising fees" and thus doom <b>Greg Ballard's Blue Indy rental car business</b>.<br /><br /><b>And that's what Blue Indy is.. Blue Indy is a RENTAL CAR BUSINESS hardly different from Hertz, Avis, or Budget Rent-A-Car...</b> except that the Hertz, Avis, and Budget were not unilaterally awarded contracts and millions in taxpayer monies and credits to get started.<br /><br />When I point out the ludicrous nature of their "franchise fee" thinking, I am told if that fails they know they have the votes to stop Blue Indy. Huh? What? I only hold a high level university degree, have credits toward a second baccalaureate, and have been in a Master's program so I suppose I am the stupid one here.<br /><br />I am in possession of an email from a Councilor who advised me to create a street march protest the day Emperor Ballard is police escorted to the ribbon cutting for his latest illegal deal... possibly at the site of that ribbon cutting. I called that Councilor to ask how I would go about doing that because I am a neophyte to public advocacy; I wanted to determine what it would take to energize an effective number of persons to march... but after deep consideration I realized that idea of "marching in the streets" is "drama" and "grand standing" whose outcome will be without effective resolution for the people. Further, that idea asks individual citizens to do the job the citizens elected their Councilors to do.<br /><br />I have a better idea for that Councilor. And <i>my idea is that all of our City County Councilors do the job we elected (and pay) them to do</i>.Charles M. Navarranoreply@blogger.com
