The Democrats are targeting her seat once again. She will be swept out of office for caving into Vaughn and taking his and Ballard's corruption leadership orders on this matter. Any Republican who votes for this will be personally targeted for defeat by this blog. I will divulge everything I can to the voting public to help ensure their defeat. I'm sick of contributing to the Republican Party and helping elect their candidates and then the people who get elected from our efforts turn around and stab us in the back. Bart Peterson's office scoffed at what I was doing in 2007. These Republicans have a big surprise and it's going to prove quite costly. There will be several prominent Republicans headed to the federal penetentiary before it's all over, and I will be standing there bidding them a fine farewell.Gary R.

I hope Ms. Jarosz did not fall for that assurance from Ryan, and most importantly, that the other councillors aren't so stupid.Marycatherine Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674049191412285346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-78848224358472443752010-05-17T08:20:37.468-05:002010-05-17T08:20:37.468-05:00Sean, The City completely ignored the IURC's admonishment to renegotiate the one-sided agreement after the last rate increase hearing. It renegotiated in 2007 to assume more than $40 million in retiree-related health care costs that we had no obligation under the original contract to negotiate. The problem is that we have people who are supposedly representing the City who are actually representing Veola's interests. The contract is lousy. It's the same as the Pacers lease on Conseco. Anything in the agreement that helps the City is ignored, while everything that benefits Veolia is stretched to the limits and beyond.Gary R.

If so, is there no out if the ownership is transferred?Sean Shepardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04784017076656340302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-65435932431617561362010-05-17T07:21:03.135-05:002010-05-17T07:21:03.135-05:00Has it occurred to Republicans that they are handling this proposal exactly the way President Obama and the Democrats in Congress handled the health care debate, a one-sided process denounced universally by Republicans in Congress?Gary R.
