Ballard relied upon the common people and when he won he turned to the corrupt lawyers and politicians to help him divide the millions of dollars of political payoffs! Is it just me or does Greg Ballard look a lot like a Big Rat? Look at his long nose and the way it wiggles when he talks or lies!

Thats the point of this and many other threads which call into question Ballards' decision making. For a candidate who campaigned on an Everyman schtick, one who "promised to end the 25th floor bloat" and who has done the opposite, for one who got the support of the teabaggers with "end property tax" and then waffles on that, well...there you go. This blog is about keeping Ballard accountable and honest, and your strident, profane laden defense of Ballards' hypocrisy thus far, does not do your Mayor any favors. Let Him answer as to his decision making..and try and act a tad more mature, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-26637065059080023142008-01-28T12:39:00.000-05:002008-01-28T12:39:00.000-05:00"Interesting how most of Ballards supporters have not seen fit to comment on the latest example of their savior's metamorphosis into one of those "country club republicans" he ran against."<BR/><BR/>Mayor Ballard is the same man now, as he was a year ago.

How about brilliantly orchestrated public humiliation? Ask Bart how it feels to be humiliated in national media. <BR/><BR/>Eric Miller is going to get a dose of public humiliation on Friday. He's trying to hijack the property tax repeal movement to SJR 7 with a rally at the statehouse on Friday. <BR/><BR/>Most homeowners don't want anything to do with SJR 7, and worse, resent our legislators wasted time in session with it last year when they all knew the property tax crisis was looming. Seems to me that the resulting property tax crisis was the real threat to Indiana's children.<BR/><BR/><BR/>What's worse is that Eric Miller was approached by many pro repeal advocates asking he back off SJR 7and not attach the property tax issue to it. He won't listen and is pushing forward with the rally anyway.<BR/><BR/>I will be there on Friday with Miller's rally. That should tell you something is going to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-84138228235776779852008-01-28T07:14:00.000-05:002008-01-28T07:14:00.000-05:00Another former Ballard Supporter who is very sorry for picking this lemon!

That will be a pretty good acid test. The Mayor who wasn't an accident had no problems, I guess, helping the Pacers to public monies and his accidental supporters don't complain of those boons even now since the Simons are (or were) Democrats.

My immediate reaction is..."you have got to be kidding me". That our lawmakers could reject consideration of a bill because they were "offended"? You folks are truly out of touch with reality. It is inconceivable to me how any person could not see at least the potential for a conflict of interest. That you are "offended"? Get over it. You folks have been elected for the people, by the people; not in spite of the people. In case you and your colleagues are not aware, people are starting to take a very direct interest in what is going on at the state and federal level. The cozy relationships that have been tolerated in the past will no longer be in the future. I am proud to say that I worked very hard on the Ballard campaign because of a belief that the local CCC did not understand the frustration the people felt. I promise to you that I will work very hard in support of those who are first and formost interested in the people they serve, not in those they serve with, now or in the past. That anyone in the Senate can be "offended" by a challenge in what to anyone is common sense tells me that more change is needed. Please, I ask you directly, be a part of the change. Do not let selfserving politicos control the agenda. <BR/><BR/>Thanks you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-50913240994971986492008-01-27T10:47:00.000-05:002008-01-27T10:47:00.000-05:00Riegsecker is retiring and I don't<BR/>think that he's going to be a lobbyist in Indy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
