Or could the legislature impose a tax increase on us for the CIB?M Theoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892309818226431745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-40181327601109333162009-05-29T08:58:53.394-05:002009-05-29T08:58:53.394-05:00Actually, Jon, I would think the last people who should be pusing for tax increases for the CIB are Marion County legislators.Paul K.

Irsay gives big bucks to the GOP. And they all love getting all of those free tickets to the games.Gary R.

They clearly don't have a dog in this fight so what is their motive?Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490253182039581408noreply@blogger.com
