Indy: Mr. McGoff's a fine man and more than sufficiently intelligent to understand the drafting process of that referendum did not include input from opponents, meaning the other side wasn't considered with any equity.

Drafting of that "popular" referendum was a corrupt process, period. What's so good about that deception that's predictably resulted in higher risk and rates, and a lowered Fitch rating.

Pete Boggs:

The Wishard referndum was the MOST POPULAR referendum in the history of Marion County! It was ratified by an supermajority 84% of the votes!!!

-A constitutional amendment only requires 3/4 vote of the states.

But then, why are you bringing that into this thread, Pete Boggs?

In a related way, McIntosh caught the eye of a Mr. Shultz, a public policy guy, who wrote the Indpls. Star's "My View" today of the hypocracy of candidates' statements.
"In a press event at the Indiana Statehouse, McIntosh touted his commitment to signing the U.S. Term Limit Amendment Pledge, an agreement to serve no more than three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives and two terms in the U.S. Senate. The interesting part about McIntosh’s support for the pledge is that not only has he already served three terms in the House, but that, at the same press event, the former congressman violated his pledge by announcing that he would serve a maximum of six terms if elected."

One of the reasons the Tea Party exists is to stop the hypocracy. It is sickening for a candidate to live and work as a lobbyist in another state, then claim some sort of dual residency in Indiana in order to get elected. They wear Christianity on their sleeve and the Constitution across their heart, but they leave all that behind at the ballot box after they arrive in D.C. Sad for Hoosiers.
