I think you're description of Costas is a little unfair. Other than that, you report on the state of the county party is sadly true. The efforts in the fall were embarrasing.

At least with Peterson, the corruption was out in the open. Ballard does it behind closed doors.
Sorry I voted for him!!

Ballard used to read our blogs everyday when he was on the campaign trail. He looked forward to it because we were in there everyday fighting for his victory, exposing the corruption, and giving him a platform to win. We did this because he gave us his word he was for us.

He swore he was a mayor of the People. Everyday I wake up with a sick feeling in my gut. I worked so hard, gave money, dedicated nearly all my free time, put myself out there...for HIM! It was for nothing.

I'm so angry right now, I can't see straight through the tears.

I'll second that one mike-semper fi indeed

Chesty Puller must be rolling over in his grave, at this obscene rendition of "Semper Fidelis".

Mr. Ogden, you just hit a home run with your last post.

I'm starting to figure this out, Olgen Williams supported Peterson and Ballard appointed him Deputy Mayor.

Tom John didn't support the Mayor (or three at large members of thecouncil) and he gets endorsed.'

Apparently the way to get Ballard's support is to not support him.

On second thought, I'm sure it's plain and simple vanity. Abdul likes seeing "ABDUL" on his Illinois license plate. Maybe it's not available in Indiana.

Does Abdul actually LIVE in Illinois? Residency is not real hard. It's basically where you regularly sleep at night. Courts will cut you some slack if your a college student or a politician or a political appointee, but I don't think that applies to radio hosts.

Andre Carson had opponents at the caucus to fill the vacancy on the council, true. He ran unopposed in the general election.

Abdul says he's still a resident of Springfield, Illinois, but his Illinois law admissions record says he is based in Indiana at WXNT and his bio lists him of-counsel with a downtown Indianapolis firm. He'll have to explain the discrepancy. I'm sure it has nothing to do with avoiding paying Indiana's vehicle excise tax.

Advance - Thank you for the reporting...it reads like fiction...if I read these machinations in a novel I would not believe it.

No longer can anyone harbor illusions of Ballard as mayor - he's either a willing puppet - or worse, a full-fledged participant in the conspiracy.

Q. What's the difference between Mayor Ballard and the Mayan calendar ?

A. The Mayan calendar doesn't end until 2012.

Andre Carson had 3 opponents in the caucus to replace Abdullah. He was not unopposed.

P.S. When is someone going to force Abdul to pay his license and excise taxes on his car? He is legally obligated once he is here 30 days....even if he maintains his legal residence elsewhere.
