I suspect in this environment there will not be much of a market for an NBA team. It's time for Indy to stop being held hostage by these sports teams. Hmmm what would it take to disolve the CIB and have the city run it with a fewer people and a smaller budget. Ok I'm dreaming!guy77moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248410686603913517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-51385984546435736372009-03-09T21:13:00.000-05:002009-03-09T21:13:00.000-05:00Ballard is being advised by people who are using him to get what they want and hope that in the process they completely destroy him. They've already succeeded in alienating him from his best supporters. They could care less what happens to him in 2011. As long as he gives them all the cash they demand during his 4-year term, they will find a bought-and-paid-for Democrat to take his place in 2011.Gary R.

We taxpayers sure have no use to pay taxes and make them richer or let them use OUR fieldhouse to rent out to promoters, concerts, etc &amp; make money. <BR/><BR/>Pacers, feel free to leave any time you want...please be sure your thugs go with you, so we don&#39;t have to house them in our jail, too!Indy4U2Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321040357893518968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-22376850164011417192009-03-09T20:29:00.000-05:002009-03-09T20:29:00.000-05:00I don't care if Simon's sells the team.
