Tucked in the article in the paper was the statement "We are trying to convert what was essentially baby-sitting to high quality education" That was the most telling statement of them all. All that money was babysitting but this time with more money it will different. Fight this with the city council-I wish Carl Moldthan was here.

Important point of distinction The Indianapolis Star may have missed: Eli Lilly and Company's support of Greg Ballard's preschool deal has nothing to do with Lilly Endowment's support of Day Nursery. They are totally different entities - different boards, different pools of money.

Just one more example of Crony-Capitalism. It sounds like the $20M will be spread out to certain selected "Providers" by Day Nursery. The interest IMHO is not about the children, but in doling out money to the "Selected Providers."

If Pence and Mayor Blowhole were really committed to the children, the proper avenue would be use the existing Public School System, as the delivery system, and fund the Program via the State.

However, using the Public School System, would cut out Crony-Capitalism and the parasites that feed off of it. I feel fairly confident certain Members of the Religious Establishment will be all on board with their hands out to have funds diverted into their own pockets.

I visualize the Shadow Government has a Crony-Capitalism Passport. Those that abide by the various schemes the Shadow Government proposes, receive an entry stamp. This entry stamp gives you a Seal of Approval. It would be important for Pence to have this Seal of Approval, other Shadow Governments at a State or Federal Level, would know he is in Good Standing.

I have no problem with Mrs. Tully heading the Day Nursery board, but I do think that Matt Tully should henceforth recuse himself from writing/covering the issue as an ethical matter. It's not that Matt would skew the story that worries me but the appearance of possible bias that would alarm me.

The "rest of the story" reveals all involved to be of low personal and moral character and not worthy of credibility now or ever again. How both Tullys and Swarens can remain employed is just beyond. Ballard is headed for retirement although he probably should be in a pleated orange jumpsuit.

I do not know how the ex-Marine lives with himself with all the deception he's pulled off against the Marion County taxpayers through his deplorable reign.
