Ditto what Mary Catherine said. The only way to know which end is up is the real journalists like Advance Indiana.

This is not low hanging fruit for our various Justice Systems, it is rotten fruit on the ground covered in flies and maggots.

We wait in vain for some sign our Justice System will react, but so far nothing.

Our local Oligarchs would appear to have received their immunization shots from at the very least an investigation.

We so appreciate all these well-researched exposes of expensive government corruption you give us, Gary. As vidrebel.wordpress posts yesterday:

I hope someone mails all the AI posts about this guy, Ballard, and Straub to the Public Integrity Section of DOJ with a plea to help us in Indy!

Thanks Gary for keeping us up to date on Ersal "Pay to Play" Ozdemir from the very beginning. Too bad the folks on Pennsylvania St are too busy lauding him for investing in a bush league soccer franchise and supporting him in his endeavor to get another free multi-million dollar project. It reflects on how far the Star has fallen. Long gone are they days of Dick Cady investigating corruption in government. Instead we have Matthew Tully, who has the gall to write an entire book bemoaning the failure of inner city public schools while lauding Ozdemir's abilities to seek a blank check from the best legislature money can buy.

At least in Illinois they put their corrupt politicians in jail after they are exposed. In iIndiana they just ignore the conduct.

I wouldn't bet on it, anon. 3:48. Carl Brizzi spent 8 years auctioning off justice as Marion Co. Prosecutor and Joe Hogsett didn't do a damn thing to him.

It's even more hilarious to read a news piece that documents what you've watched unfold in your presence for the past seven years. Not a single inaccuracy. This is only the beginning of a very big story that will touch many people.

Anon 10:49,
Don’t apply for WBE status if you have a spouse who works in your business. Don’t apply for an MBE if you are not the right kind of minority. Being a top donor or having the right law firm can change all that. Enemies of the administration are eliminated by Greg Wilson’s hand-picked CO Contract Compliance Committee. A former committee member told me that “Open Door” laws are ignored. Ozdemir was able to have his application handled outside the regular procedures described by Anon 10:49. Depose Wilson’s staff and learn the truth.

It's funny when you read an article labled as news, when you have known nearly everything (minus a few specific numbers) in it for at least a year or more.

Applications are often completed with checklist assistance of or by counsel versed in such matters & reviewed by staff counsel versed in same, making approval more legally engineered than "personally handled."

2014-03-08T18:46:38.442-05:00

The City’s MBE department is redundant to the well-run State of Indiana MBE program and costs the City $1 million. The Keystone MBE application was handled personally by Mr. Greg Wilson and his Chief of Staff, Mr. Robert Ransom . Shut down the City’s corrupt WMBE Department and save the taxpayers the $1 million..

This is getting good. Jail time for Ballard? This is stinking so bad that Hogsett has probably been forced to inform his superiors that he has to "do something."

I wonder how bold the power elite will be in trying to sweep this under the rug? I'd hate to be the mid-level party hack that the system will try to set up as the fall guy. Actually, Ballard would make the perfect fall guy. He's not connected to anyone.

We need the real feds to come in and clean up Indy.
