"Let's stay on topic and not let anonymous nobodies distract the thread off into personalities of commenters." is Wilsonspeak for "I live in a complete vacuum where I'm always right, and I can make slanderous statements about public officials, even though I don't have to offer the facts to back it up (but don't ever point that out to me)."

Lance Langsford is vactioning in Florida this week. Can anyone confirm that the city paid for his air fare back to indy last night to vote on the tax increase and then to fly him back to Florida this morning?

Good enough Gary, we'll simply pass over W's comments. W really needs to get a job or someting to occupy his time.

Anon 8:18, the blogger tool does not allow me to ban a single blogger. I have two choices: Only allow registered users to comment, or moderate all the comments. I frankly don't have the time to manage all the comments in that way if the purpose is to allow a free flowing exchange of opinions. I have turned on the moderation option before to block Wilson's and other commenters who were abusing the posting privileges, but I have no desire to do that on a day in and day out basis.

Gary,
Why is that EVERY single discussion issues brought up on your blog are hijacked by Wilson46201.
I'm not going to tell you how to run your blog but allowing this person to continue to pull discussions off track is destroying your blog's credibility.

Sure, Melyssa.

2007-07-24T08:11:00.000-05:00

You stated it perfectly.

IndyU is tkaing over your site, Gary, and it's not pretty.

I'd have voted against the tax increase, but mostly because we haven't fully explored the other options. Hell, I might have borrowed the money first, rather than increase the income tax by .65%.

Ike Randolph is an opportunist of the first order. If I have to listen to his worthless diatribe one more time I may throw up. But he got this one right.

Even a blind fish finds the bait sometimes.

The poorly run meeting I witnessed on Ch. 16, was more an example of the lousy leaderhsip of Sweet Pea and King Ro, than anything else.

And trusint a legal opinion by Kofi Wright is a dangerous precedent...he's only slightly smarter than Aaron Haith. Which aion't saying much.

Rgardless of legal opinions--can't the affected city employees just say "no vote" because it's the right thing to do? And we ALL know it IS the right thing to do.

Welcome back IC. I hope you are rested up. We need all the help we can get.

2007-07-23T22:43:00.000-05:00

I saw Joe McAtee sitting next to Frank Anderson at the TAX & SPEND meeting tonight!

Joe has a make-work, do-nothing job, car & makes over $80K in salary & benefits at our expense. He has an incompetent Patsy named Jan Devoss-Matthews, doing his lying. In return, he is incompetent...in charge of 911, calls go unanswered like NEVER before! He even accomodates criminals with a Spanish version of 'Thank you for calling 911, your call is important to us....' Shoot, as soon as he checks the call register, many life & death calls went unanswered...but Joe makes more money than most of our city!!!!!!!!!!!!

-At taxpayer expense! All because he supported a Democrat in the sheriff election!

I grew up here, when I called 236-3811, the EMERGENCY number at the time, I NEVER GOT A RECORDING!

(Of course, that is BEFORE a certain Democrat took over and supported the invasion of ILLEGAL ALIENS!

2007-07-23T22:36:00.000-05:00

I had heard that one of the CCC members had inquired where I have been, so I thought it best to come and pay a visit this evening. I see Channel 8 showed the other sign I had, "Give us a CLUCKING break" which made me quite happy.

I am thinking that Bart is back to his lying ways again, so the chicken may be spreading his wings! Beware Bart - I may be anywhere you go! I am afterall, just an ordinary citizen who owns a home and pays my taxes, so I do have every right to demand accountability, regardless of what I have on.

2007-07-23T22:08:00.000-05:00

The problem is is that the Republicans were just as sickening when they were in control. I couldn't stomach the council then and I can't stomach it now. Switching from one group of bums to another will not solve anything. We need people running and getting elected who have no allegiance to any party.

2007-07-23T21:58:00.000-05:00

I have seen children behave better than the way the council behaved tonight. What a disgrace - not only do these people have no morals they have no self respect the way they treated Ike! Phil Borst should have been allowed to speak. He was correct when he said every member should have had the opportunity to speak if they wanted to.

Well, if you don't want to play the Dems way they take their ball and go home. Ok. We will remember, we will publish your names.

Anyone notice old turncoat ex-Sheriff McAtee was sitting in the audience with Sheriff Anderson? How much has he and his son, Bart, made off the corrupt Democratic machine the past 4 years? What a sellout.

Keller talks out of both sides of his mouth. In his last campaign he talked in favor of gay rights when he was talking to gays, and he told religious right voters Karen Horseman was a lesbian to turn them against her. He's a phony.

Indiana should force tax increases to be placed on the ballot. You know, like civilized states do. But since Indiana is a third-world country ...

2007-07-23T21:18:00.000-05:00

The voting was simply a sell out.

RED COATS, TURN COATS, Langford and Keller.
Remember Benedict Arnold died alone, penniless and without a country. The citizens of England hated him as much as America. Never to be trusted by anyone again.

2007-07-23T21:17:00.000-05:00

Scott Keller stopped at my house when he campaigned four years ago. He flat out told me he was opposed to raising city taxes and would only do it as a last resort. He lied to me. He voted for every tax increase before the council. I should have known better than to trust a man who has been married 5 times and filed bankruptcy twice.

That's just it wilson, this is a free and open forum so if you can't handle your spoon fed eyes seeing mispelled words don't come here. You sure have a lot of time on your hands. Lonely at the top isn't it.
