I can’t help but die a little inside after reading this gem found via The Accidental Mayor:
So I was intrigued and a bit amused the other day when Mayor Greg Ballard mentioned something about a Chinatown to a local business leader, after a news conference on the city’s 2012 Super Bowl bid.

I got a REALLLLLY shady political polling call just now. can’t remember the name of the company but there is certainly something shady going on. I was first asked to hand the phone to the “youngest registered voter” in the household. Then I was asked if I worked for any media, advertising, marketing, [...]

While those traitorous commies at The Accidental Mayor have been ripping Mayor Ballard for his testimony at the State House and for the lack of talk about where he is going to come up with his promised $70 million in cuts without layoffs of loss of services, X-Tra Rant has been doing some digging.
What did [...]

That measure would mean the loss of $30 million [...]

This article gave me a bit of a chuckle.
I-69 delay honks off Fishers council
The Fishers Town Council unanimously passed a resolution tonight calling on the state to speed up reconstruction of I-69 through Hamilton County.
Council members are peeved that plans to redesign intersections and add lanes along the route aren’t scheduled to begin for about [...]
I wish I’d noticed this before my big gubernatorial campaign website comparison entry, but why is Schellinger using a company out of Portland, Oregon to implement his website? Could his campaign not find anyone locally to do this? It’s not like there aren’t some very talented web designers in Indiana that haven’t worked on campaigns [...]
Alright, time for a really pointless breakdown of the Indiana Gubernatorial candidate websites!
First the Democratic side.
Jim Schellinger:
Wow. This is a bland, pretty looking website that would have been good circa 2000-2004. No interactivity, no issues page, no blog. There’s a page for videos, but they are hosted on the Schellinger website instead of YouTube which [...]
From the IndyStar:
Democrat Jim Schellinger has raised $2.4 million in his gubernatorial bid since he got into the race in March, his campaign said Monday.
The exact amount is more than double the $1.2 million that Schellinger, a South Bend native and president of an Indianapolis architecture firm, reported raising as of the June 30 reporting [...]
So the informal “meet the candidates” forum last night brought out 8 potential Democratic candidates for our Wise And Sage Party Elders to decide for us who should run in the special election.
The candidates who had expressed interest in the seat by Monday and who attended were: state Reps. David Orentlicher, Carolene Mays and Gregory [...]
