I have my differences with Ike Randolph, but give him credit for recusing himsself from the vote. Not all public servants did so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-55241687407619345362007-09-05T19:44:00.000-05:002007-09-05T19:44:00.000-05:00So 3:48, I take it you are a candidate, in the private sector? Otherwise, where is your room for argument against public employees?<BR/>ANYONE can run for political office, with the exception of a felony record. Are you? Or are you of the latte-sipping "intelligentsia" who derides those who actually have the courage to run? If that label doesnt apply to you, I apologize. If it does, I'm still curious as to your derision of public employee candidatesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-22886695664284741022007-09-05T19:36:00.000-05:002007-09-05T19:36:00.000-05:00One thing for sure wilson allen will certainly cost some dems some votes if he continues to attack people on the blogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-77827438790822782312007-09-05T03:48:00.000-05:002007-09-05T03:48:00.000-05:00What does Hunter do now?

I am a Democrat....but Ron Gibson is a hypocrite and only voted for HRO out of fear out of what might be made public. Then there is his drunken episode downtown where he attacked a female police officer. Hegg, if what is written is true, could get my vote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-52684239733822503982007-09-04T20:53:00.000-05:002007-09-04T20:53:00.000-05:00I'm going to research some more, but if his other views are as strinkingly clear and concise as his HRO stance above, Mike Hegg just earned this Democrat's vote.<BR/><BR/>My vote will come away from King Ro, and to Hegg. <BR/><BR/>I'm hesitsating on Ron Gibson, but, as Wilson aptly poitned out, he got "straightened out" (emphasis mine). <BR/><BR/>My vote will not be based solely on gay-related issues. But I will not support anyone who advocates repeal of the HRO. It was too hard-fought and won.<BR/><BR/>For the record, if I lived in Sherron Franklin's district, I'd likely not vote for a district councillor. She's a raving goof, and not worthy of my vote on multiple issues, not just HRO. <BR/><BR/>I've spoken to Mary Bridgette regarding her HRO vote. I understand, although we disagree. She is brilliant on most other issues, and I would (very) reluctantly give her a pass on the HRO. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to research the other GOP at-larges; although my support for Joanne Sanders is not going to budge. <BR/><BR/>If I abandon Ron, it'll be because he had to be dragged kicking and scremaing on the HRO. (Yeah, like a little girl...) And because he behaved so boorishly in his current legal mess. And because he cannot seem to leave church at church, instead of all over his council service.<BR/><BR/>So many reasons so little time, Ron...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-63980716762741058992007-09-04T20:25:00.000-05:002007-09-04T20:25:00.000-05:00I won't speak for my fellow At-large candidates, and will let them respond if they so chose, Mr. Allen.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if 'gay friendly' is appropriate terminology, as it could imply that I'm UNfriendly to any one group over another in our county. Discrimination towards a community that one is not a part of is just wrong, as is discrimination, period.<BR/><BR/>The simple fact is that in my opinion an At-Large councilor should represent every group in the County and not exclude others just because the councilor is not a member of that group.<BR/><BR/>Respectfully, <BR/><BR/>Michael Hegg<BR/>(R) At-Large, City County COuncil candidate<BR/><BR/>www.mikeforindy.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-8251078653903271892007-09-04T19:44:00.000-05:002007-09-04T19:44:00.000-05:00All 4 of the Democratic At-Large candidates voted <B>for</B> the HRO - true, one was non-supportive at first but he got straightened out (so to speak)...<BR/><BR/>Apparently, just <I>one</I> of the 4 GOP At-Large candidates seems gay-friendly (Hegg) - why are the other 3 reticent on LGBT issues so far?Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/14214029150233485312noreply@blogger.com
