Estridge homes are CRAP. Especially since Estridge Junior and his cronies took over. They are built with so many defects, and then there service totally SUCKS.

Estridge Jr is so arrogant, and is a total phoney.

Estridge homes are CRAP, especially since Estridge Junior and his cronies took over. Estridge Jr. is so arogant, and phoney. They truly are crooks.

"We the People" are only pawns in this everlasting government game that is being played under our noses, and with our money!
No more votes for any incumbent for as long as it takes.

When it spends, the government doesn’t seem to remember the money is not theirs. It is ours, and they have been entrusted to spend the money wisely, carefully and with restraint.

“They (congress) spend money like drunk sailors on liberty,” the old Ronald Reagan quote. Trouble with his analogy, sailors are spending their own discretionary money, not their food or housing money, but the key two words, "Their Discretionary" money.

Congress, State legislatures and city governments are spending our money and most of what they spend is no longer our discretionary money but is beginning to cut into our food, medicine, housing and retirement funds.

Heard on the Garrison show:
“If you take care of spending, then the taxes will take care of themselves.”

How about the government working within their limited budget without "increasing" the budget limits?

The government (fed/state/city/county) expect us to live within the limits you "create" for us with our money, but none of the elected ones in government will never live within the limits they need to.

Looks like Rep. Pat Bauer and the rest of his Democrap legislators sold out the tax rebate for homeowners for wealth in his hometown of South Bend to race track owners.

A pacifier to woo the public while the kickbacks under the table continue from wealthy investers. How many 2008 reelection campaigns will benefit from this sweetheart deal. I guess they are all "gettin while the gettin is good!"

This was plainly a give-away by the legislature and the governor... where was the sanity of business that our governor was supposed to impart?

Wow, 5:54, who peed in your oatmeal?

Pretty warped view of the world.

Some of us don't get all happy happy joy joy when we see American flags waving, our political machine in action, etc. etc.. All that is and was to trick the sheeple into thinking they actually how power.

What makes me sick is when Indy finally goes the way of Detroit, and the state the way of Mich., all these thieves will have plenty of money to just bail. Democrats, Republicans, whatever...all the elites and powerful hacks are pretty much using a scorched earth approch to government: Don't consider where you live home, only say it is "home" in campaigns to get elected. After your in position, cash out the best you can. If things ever totally collapse, they will have plenty of money to relocate. The only problem with these idiots is that they honestly think they will never be affected by the coming collapse.

This is why I do not donate a dime to charity. Charity starts in the home, family and close friends ONLY. It is also why I would never, ever rat someone out who was making a few grand a year extra and not paying taxes. Anyone who jumps on their soap box about "their fair share" can just keep their mouths shut. The entire idea of this country being "fair" died many decades ago.

At the time of the original license application, the Estridges indicated they'd spent about $11 million before the track opened.

It's anyone's guess how they've done since it opened; but most people in the know indicate it probably, at worst, broke even. Or maybe turned a small profit.

$11 mil to $53.5 mil in about four years. Not bad.

I've dealt with them on the housing side. Solid reputation there.

But they got this license with evidence only that they had the minimum amount of reserves required, and almost no actual experience.

After they'd aptly lined the pockets of both sides of the aisle.

It's disgusting.
