Mayor Ballard - WHAT A DISGRACE to our political system. A disgrace to the people of Indianapolis. ACS should be the new poster SYMBOL OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM & CORPORATE GREED. We should make no distinction between the CEO and directors who committed this unethical proposal and the politicians who enabled them. The political ties that allowed this greedy company to rip off the public, not to mention its own employees.
Where's the investigation?
The financial mistakes that Ballard is making will affect peoples lives and their jobs and they should be held accountable for the risky actions. Affiliated Computer Services has no sense of National responsibility because, the only thing they care about is the bottom line. Like, how do you make a profit from the WELFARE system? How do you make a profit from FOOD STAMPS? When did social services become a "for-profit" agency?
The truth is when the rich fail, the working middle class and poor come to their rescue but when the ordinary working people are in trouble, the rich pound the ordinary people 3 feet down.
Corporate and government corruption is unfortunately beyond repair at this juncture. This in itself will just lead us all down a path spiraling toward socialism and the final chapter in complete economic ruin with a government run a muck.

Nytes posted a comment on the Urbanophile blog story indicating the author had raised some issues of which she was not aware. I also spoke to one of the Mass Ave. business owners who testified in support of it. He was rethinking his support after I further explained the lease deal to him. There were many issues which Mike Huber conveniently omitted in his public presentations that distorted the true agreement the city inked with ACS.

Beware of Jackie Nytes´and how she votes on this. She has sided with Ballard on almost every vote for tax increases. She has never seen a tax hike that she did not like.

Thanks for sharing.

Would you find it helpful to see the two side-by-side with differences highlighted?

ACS vs Chicago

Admittedly there are deficiencies in this technique because the lines 'break' in different places, but it makes the differences (er, lack thereof) plainly visible.
