Ballard To Announce Winning Bidder For Rigged Criminal Justice Center Project

Mayor Greg Ballard wouldn't want to leave office next year without strapping taxpayers with a potentially multi-billion dollar investment in a new criminal justice center arrived at through an illegal, rigged bidding process. He's scheduled to announce the "winning" bidder tomorrow, a term I use loosely since we know his administration knew the identity of the winner earlier this year when it announced these three foreign-led finalists:
  • WMB Heartland Justice Partners, led by equity members Meridiam Infrastructure Indy Justice LLC, Balfour Beatty Investments Inc. and Walsh Investors LLC with major non-equity contributions by Walsh Construction Co. II LLC, Heery International Inc., Cofely Services Inc., Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP; and Dewberry Architects. 
  • Indy Justice Partners, led by equity members Fengate Capital Management Ltd., AECOM Global Fund I LP and Shiel Sexton Co. Inc., with major contributions by W.G. Yates & Sons Construction Co., Tishman Construction Corp. and Johnson Controls. 
  • Plenary Edgemoor Justice Partners, led by Plenary Group USA Ltd. and Edgemoor Infrastructure & Real Estate LLC. Major non-equity members are Clark Construction Group LLC, F.A. Wilhelm Construction Co. Inc., HDR Architecture Inc. and CBRE.
Expect the Indianapolis City-County Council to approve the deal early next year because there are too many political cronies who stand to make a financial windfall off the corrupt and illegal process by which the administration arrived at this determination. The Republican council members, except for Christine Scales, do whatever the downtown mafia orders them to do. The Democrats' candidate for mayor next year, Joe Hogsett, works for one of the law firms that's already realizing a windfall from the deal so don't expect them to stand in the way of its approval. Just be prepared to bend over and take it up the butt real hard this time. And forget the notion that there is either a federal or state prosecutor who would prosecute those responsible for committing the criminal acts carried out for the sake of getting a new criminal justice center. This is Indianapolis, after all, the most corrupt city in all of America, where the political insiders have a license to steal from the public with immunity from prosecution.

Mitch's bitch, Kyle Hupfer, reserved the names "Indy Justice Partners, LLC" and "Indy Justice Builders, LLC" last October with the Secretary of State's Office before the public announcement on the process.

Gary you are absolutely correct about the corruptocrat Republican AND DEMOCRAT Councilors who will pass this POS Ballard plan against the taxpayers' best interests.

I just moved within the County and I refuse to register to vote in this pathetically crooked town. And I was voting for Democrats in the hopes of blunting the Republicans! Now I know they are the SAME PARTY.

Except for the highly honorable Christine Scales. Either you or Scales should be mayor... Hogsett is Ballard in a Howdy Doody face...

The insiders on this deal, must be partying hardy at some club where the price of a glass of water is $12.00. Drinks are on the house screams out the Bartender. The house in this case is the taxpayers of Indianapolis.

Just saw expert fence-straddler Republican Councilor Jeff Miller on a Fox59 video "report" on the political scam better known as the Criminal Justice Center Project.

Can any local yokel speak to both sides of an issue like Miller? The guy is just amazing; is he related to Barak Milhous Obama?

Miller simultaneously advocates for and against the process and this project in what he must believe is a successful method of hiding what is sure to be his eventual "yessuh massuh Ballard" "for" this pork barrel.

This is the best District 19 can do? Seriously??

Do you really need to use "bend over and take it in the butt" to make your point? You can do better...

I have no better way of describing what our elected officials in Marion County continue to do to taxpayers over and over again.
