I still am waiting for someone to tell me why state appointed officials and state commission members were allowed to set on legislative appointed commissions to choose contractors, decide they wanted the state contract, resign and six months later write a 40 year contract to themselves that the Ag and the IG approved as plausible.

The Governor than signed it as a witness and then the contractor/commission members (not one but two) were privy to the first bond posting missing the deadline and two more bonds in excess of $270 million dollars defaulted and THEY STILL HAVE THE CONTRACT!

It is all PUBLIC record. By the way the director of the State Agency allowing the mess to go on was a Clay County Judge.

The apple don't fall from the tree apparently.

Yes. Mitch has some explaining to do as to why he let these two employees off the hook, and so secretly. Just another slimy professional politician is Daniels!!

Harmlessly leave your kids in a car = double felony.

Swipe thousands from the state = nothing to worry about.

Gary,

I had a client who David Thomas filed ethics charges against to support his firing from IDEM. The reason? Supposedly my client was driving from Brownsburg to Beech Grove to profit from filling up his gas tank at a station in which he had an ownership interest.

My client had a 3% interest in gasoline sales at the station. He was driving from Brownsburg to Beech Grove because he wasn't allowed to store chemicals he used as water inspector in his Brownsburg home, so he stored them at the gas station...which didn't charge the state $$$ for the storage. When he was there he would sometimes get gas.

The notion he was driving from Brownsburg to Beech Grove to make money off of gasoline sales was absurd. I did the math. He would have been making 1/2 a cent a mile for all his driving. By my math, he at best profited some $11 during the entire time he did this.

Thomas filed those charges not because my client had done something unethical but because the real reason my client got fired complaining to his boss about hiring and promotion practices at IDEM was protected by the First Amendment. What Thomas did in doing what he did was reprehensible and unethical as can be.

This should be of any surprise. Since Gov Daniels ...

This should be of any surprise. Since Gov Daniels has taken office, he & his administration has shown no respect for any form of law, dignity, or integrity. Indiana state workers & GOP officials can freely reign corruption, deception, & behind door deals, scandalous activities, & able to commit perjury to cover up what shady deals are done, even fraud & condoning child abuse of DCS James Payne of incompetence that results with 100s beaten bloody dead children. Who can stop Indiana' GOP officials lack of upholding any law within the walls of government. Governmental crime & mockery of justice has become inside dealings that is 'no significant' issue to Gov Daniels. He is not innocent playing a role.
