"Does Greg Ballard know what a computer is let alone really have an ounce of sense on how to use one?"

Actually - he does. And upon becoming mayor - he stopped using one for the most part. I'm sure his Corp Counsel and B&T handlers told him that emails and what he does on the City-County internet connection is public record and subject to review by anyone. Hence his response early on in his administration when someone asked him if he still read blogs and such and he said "not anymore".

And back when I used to participate in the process so to speak I'd exchange texts and emails all the time with certain councilors, even during CCC meetings and I was asked to "NEVER" send email to a member's IndyGov.org email address.

Does Winnie?

I have been told by Councilors that they use private email because they are concerned that their emails will be read by other Councilors.

Great points, all, Gary, especially about the private text conversations which often occur during the various governmental/municipal meetings.

I know this for a fact because I've been in the audience at City County Council meetings and at hearings with my very-connected politico friend who received and replied to texts from Councilors and members on hearing panels. My friend shared some of the texts with me; I will refrain from naming the Councilor or Councilors or public officials I know for a fact text-communicate "impressions" about a co-Councilor or a citizen who is speaking their mind on any given matter [hardly flattering in either case] or possibly communicate how a vote will go or what will probably be enacted. Those text hat tips sure can be rewarding in every sense of the word.

As far as the card-carrying moron we sadly call "mayor", Greg Ballard, is concerned, IMHO he is the most worthless POS on the planet. He sold his soul to the attorney and his law firm that first victory night. Does Greg Ballard know what a computer is let alone really have an ounce of sense on how to use one? Maybe his Asian lady but doubtful Greg even knows how to boot a notebook or desktop CPU.
