I know there were a lot of folks who were there who believe in the message that I was trying to convey, who, who support us, who didn't get in either. So, it was a lot of people who got in from uh, who were, uh, there because they wanted to hear what I had to say. A lot of other folks who were there because they wanted to protest, got in and then a combination of both who didn't get in as well because there weren't enough seats," said Mayor Bart Peterson.<BR/><BR/>Not the greatest off the cuff statement ever mad !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-23765909615475711512007-08-07T12:18:00.000-05:002007-08-07T12:18:00.000-05:00I am applaud by the city county counsel last night.<BR/><BR/>There was an announcement that anyone disrupting the meeting would be removed from the chamber. When Mr. Peterson was introduced, more the half of the attendees stood and clapped for at least three minutes. When I stood and stated that “I thought no one was to detrude this meeting, I was escorted out of the CC building. Does this city counsel rules only apply to the democrats? I am sure if we stood after Petersons people got done and express our displeasure of him by booing that we would have been removed. Do these rules only apply to the people who are discontent with the CCC or are they for all people? We were told in earlier meeting to not to applaud. <BR/><BR/> Also, I find it disturbing that many city employees were let in thru the CCC members entrances when many citizens were made to wait outside while they were being sited first. It seems that many that sits on the CCC does not want the citizens of this city to put fourth their opinions of what is taking place in our town.<BR/><BR/>In concluding, it seems that the rules of the counsel is upheld when they disagree of what is taking place at their meetings.David Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00117618040592226578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-56949016631804185822007-08-07T09:06:00.000-05:002007-08-07T09:06:00.000-05:00I'm surprised that Mayor McCheese's #1 blogosphere toady Wilson didn't have a seat up front. Maybe his importance is overstated...<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that Bart continues to blame the state for not passing Indy Works and claims that he's saved money on the police merger when it was reported in the Star the other day that there weren't any savings. That's okay if you don't read the paper, Mayor... none of the rest of us do either, but you ought to at least float a bone to the rah-rah political hacks over there who are still delusionally in your corner.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160731577636478647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-25223565959306450182007-08-07T07:54:00.000-05:002007-08-07T07:54:00.000-05:00I was at the Mayor's presentation and I came away with the impression that I had just witnessed a well staged propaganda taken straight out of the Karl Rove playbook. <BR/>Salting the crowd with shills feeding at the trough from patronage jobs was disingenious at best and disgraceful at the least.<BR/><BR/>When a two term Mayor has to resort to this type of campaign tactic you can rest assured that reelection is not in the bag regardless of how much cash in the war chest.<BR/><BR/>You are absolutely right Gary, if voters are as stupid as the Mayor makes them out to be then they deserve exactly what they get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-64598699567821246002007-08-07T02:25:00.000-05:002007-08-07T02:25:00.000-05:00Like Sweat pea says, "if u go da juice".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-43457120025108723582007-08-07T02:24:00.000-05:002007-08-07T02:24:00.000-05:00Bart and the Ghetto Mafia realize that the public are now fully aware that they are crooks. <BR/><BR/>Now, they can simply do what they want to do without regard to conscious. <BR/><BR/>WE MUST WORK REALLLL HARD TO GET PEOPLE TO VOTE THEM ALL OUT IN NOVEMBER.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-83706978924798633652007-08-06T23:11:00.000-05:002007-08-06T23:11:00.000-05:00"We need a Patronage Committe of Democrats to be paid TAX money with make-work, do-nothing jobs"<BR/><BR/>-BartAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-59796523067524671782007-08-06T22:42:00.000-05:002007-08-06T22:42:00.000-05:00CITY COUNTY COUNCIL PROPOSAL NO. 334, 2007 <BR/>CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS-MARION COUNTY, INDIANA <BR/><BR/>INTRODUCED: 08/06/2007 <BR/><BR/>REFERRED TO: Rules and Public Policy Committee <BR/><BR/>SPONSOR: Councillors Gray, Keller and Brown <BR/><BR/>DIGEST: amends the Code to establish a crime prevention advisory board for the purpose of reviewing <BR/>and making recommendations regarding funding of crime prevention initiatives and programs <BR/><BR/>********<BR/><BR/>Proposal 334 is another TAX & SPEND ordinance, that would create a whole bunch more PATRONAGE employees......<BR/><BR/>...let me guess the short list of the patronage hire-ons: Julia Carson, whose family experience with crime renders her an authority; Steve Talley, who, by virtue of his political affiliation makes him a shoe-in; Carl Drummer, who by virtue of having himself over 100 patronage employees as Center Twp Trustee, also has a title Deputy Constable of Center Twp, so he is qualified by his constabulary; Jerry McCory by virtue of connections; Cody Johnson, whose brother is on the Airport Authority Board and part-owner of the bar in the Center Twp Trustee building. <BR/><BR/>Yep, as you can see the above new-hires on the city payroll are essential and their vast experience will allow them to hold the requisite "make-work, do-nothing" job as member of the Crime Prevention Advisory Board!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-79593254680806248782007-08-06T21:32:00.000-05:002007-08-06T21:32:00.000-05:00So, Wilson, none of what was brought up tonight about the Mayor's lack of compassion for the public, or his budget cuts preparedness disturbs you?
