Corruption is as corruption does!

Tax and Spend.

The Democrat Machine runs things now.

Get out while you can.

If this is such a big issue the County Republican Party needs to file a lawsuit to get him out of office... or at least use some party connections get the State Attorney General to investigate?

I remember mumblings of Stephen Goldsmith living outside of Marion County for part of his tenure as mayor (at least through the grapevine with no real evidence...) maybe someone doesn't want that to come out?

The (R)'s are looking for something to attack; this is the best low hanging fruit handy!

YOU SAID: Eventually, the city/county gets
it back in even more deteriorating condition, tears it down and it
becomes another vacant lot. Maybe 10 or 15 years after that, if the
city or county is lucky, Habitat comes along and then re-builds a
new house.

RESPONSE: Unless they sell the lots to the peashake house owners through a CDC such as AMWAU in Senator Howard's district.

The problem with fines is that
when they start approaching the
fair market property value, it
becomes a disincentive to start
or complete repairs and ultimately
ends up going to tax sale. Eventually, the city/county gets
it back in even more deteriorating condition, tears it down and it
becomes another vacant lot. Maybe 10 or 15 years after that, if the
city or county is lucky, Habitat comes along and then re-builds a
new house. Requesting a Court
to confirm the building/health dept. administrative decision to
repair and then seeking Contempt of Court might be a more effective
remedy sometimes.

"I understand Councilor Abduallah sees it quite differently from what several sources tell me. He complains he is being targeted because he's black and because he's Muslim."

If you oppose me, you are a racist and a religious zealot. Nothing like leading off with the race card huh?

Abdullah is dishonorable!

anon 9:20, there is a file open on Abduallah's property. As I said in my earlier reporting, he has been cited on numerous occasions for the violations and his case has been referred for legal action.

Race and religion have absolutely nothing to do with the issues at hand concerning Patrice.
The City of Indianapolis can hit this property he owns with what is called the "blight penalty". This penalty is issued by the Marion County Health Department. Fines start at $2,500 and can be as high as $5,000.
To deal with this blighted property all that needs to be done is to contact the Marion County Health Deptartment so that they get a file going on it. It does no good to complain on blogs.

The residency issue seems pretty cut and dry. Comlaints need to be filed with the proper authorities and the issue resolved.

Since you have all the facts Gary, then file for action to be taken immediately thru the proper legal channels. Don't wait, strike while the coals are still hot.

2007-08-11T09:08:00.000-05:00

The address Patrice uses for the council as his residence doesn't say if it's north or south Warman. One is Marilyn Pfisterer's district - the other is Dane Mahern's. He actually lives in Mary Moriarty Adams district - not William Oliver's. Since both addresses are listed with the city, Monroe Gray already knows.

His bio says he wants "world class" neighborhoods...Third World Class from the looks of it.

The gig is up. 10:50 hit it on the head. We Dems cannot afford any more nonsense.

Patrice is an absolute disgrace.
He needed to go four years ago. Thing is, he'll fight like hell to hold on, and want to know why?

It's his only real income. If you doubt me, sit back and watch. He'll be like a bulldog. Deflect and deny. Get angry.

2007-08-10T22:57:00.000-05:00

People in his own party want him to go! Some of them are on the council! However, they were told not to "make waves" or they would face opposition in the primary themselves led by the "Ghetto Mafia."

How long until Matt Tulley or someone else in the local "media" run an article on this instead of the same hot air?

Is this Indianapolis or a new version of Tammany Hall? Julia Carson is Boss Tweed and Peterson is merely her puppet!

Apparently all Indianapolis politics revolve around "Our Queen" as she's known among some elected officials.

2007-08-10T22:50:00.000-05:00

I emailed "President" Gray today, and asked him about Mr Abduallah's residency issue. He stated, that if it were discovered that he doesn't live where his biography claims he lives, then he would have a problem with it.

Not that "President" Gray has found his morals somewhere, but I think the fix is in for Mr. Abduallah. First, Jen Wagner throws some fuel on the fire with her helpful tidbit of information regarding residency time frame. Now, you have Monroe Gray saying he'd have a problem with it.

The Dems have to realize, they can not afford ANY more problems.

...and if he refuses to go?
