Ballard is the best thing that ever happened to Indy! Your boy Bart never really cared about finances. In his first run for mayor we were at the county fair and he kept coming up to people and saying "Haven't I met you somewhere?" My wife surprised him by saying "A lot of people look alike when your out campaigning". Not that Bart wasn't and isn't a nice guy but when it came to spending he didn't have a clue. Just like all the yuppies with their credit cards. Want to guess the average credit card debt of two college educated married couples. $25,000.00 Have you looked at the interest rates on credit cards lately. That is the same way Ex.Mayor Bart and Servas ran Indy. Mayor Ballard understands you can't keep handing out blank checks and issuing bonds. Follow the money trail who made all that money when bonds are issued. Bart and Servas friends?guy77moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248410686603913517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-61072300689253394572007-09-12T09:00:00.000-05:002007-09-12T09:00:00.000-05:00The FOP endorsement doesn't mean squat. The inept local Republican party is not supporting Ballard financially so he has about a snowballs' chance in hell of defeating Peterson. Sure seems like the Mayor owns them now doesn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-46373938408146423162007-09-12T06:59:00.000-05:002007-09-12T06:59:00.000-05:00With attitudes like <I>"this craphole of a city"</I> and <I>"the citizens of Indianapolis are an apathetic, lazy and uninformed bunch"</I> how do Republicans ever expect to get elected again?Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/14214029150233485312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-27487573589599683182007-09-12T06:41:00.000-05:002007-09-12T06:41:00.000-05:00To "0 for four"....looks like law enforcement got the endorsements RIGHT.

But their electoral influence has been zippo over the last several elections. They've been fearce advocates of their position in contract talks: that's the way it's supposed to be.<BR/><BR/>Their history is, they're loathe to endorse any Democrat. So be it.

Maybe if people would only listen to the police we would'nt be in the state of affairs that Peterson, Anderson, Gray, Brown and others have hung on this City. We told you that there would be no cost savings in Consolidation and that it would not work. We told you the truth.<BR/>I have talked to many people on the street; Brightwood, Meridian Kessler and Mapleton Fall Creek areas and I think the message that Ballard is sending is starting to sink in. Have you noticed the "Had Enough" signs? They are starting to blossom like flowers in the spring time.<BR/>Police, by nature, are somewhat conservative. But we also have a finger on the pulse of the City. WE are contantly "with the people" and we know the problems this City is facing. We see, feel, taste, smell and hear the problems of this City each and everyday. Can you say the same? In the future, please take a moment of your time and stop and talk with a policeman in Indianapolis and ask him for the real scoop on "whats up"! You will be in for a great civic lesson on local government and its effects on the people it was elected to serve. <BR/>You may not beleive this but we are the "fine blue line" and in this community many politicians have crossed that line and should be stopped at the polling places. (or arrested) We are the defenders of the Constituion because we belive in this country and we swore to protect you and all the citizens. Have a nice day and please seek out the truth and share it with your friends and family.<BR/>(PS: The new IMPD prohibits police officers from speaking out against the administrations. I hope you wonder why!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-22186205305262408912007-09-11T20:36:00.000-05:002007-09-11T20:36:00.000-05:00Huh?
