Start with sending Ballard to jail, and follow it up with journalists actually reporting the news. investigate these stories and put them front and center, instead of leading the days news with the case of Bruce jenner's missing wiener.

Even back than in the 1970's it was obvious we had huge Oligarchies in control of our Economy. Back then it was Big Steel, King Coal, and the Big Three Auto Makers. <br /><br />One part that caught my eye was a section on Interlocking Directorates of Corporations. CEO's of one Corporation would sit on the Board of another Corporation. Board Members of Corporation "A" would be on the Board of Corporation "B". It was cozy arrangement, especially so with the committee that decided on remuneration. <br /><br />Perhaps it existed back in the 1970's but not as prevalent as today where political insiders, wives, etc., sat on boards. The other issue today is the revolving door between elected political officials, political appointees and Business. <br /><br />A University President or Board Members should be forbidden from sitting on a Board or accepting payments from a corporation, etc. The Star should be questioning the ethics of this deal, but instead The Star sees this as a plus.

It seems all Democrat and Republican politicos enter "public service" poor but, like the amazing Dennis Hastert, end up with fabulous amounts of money we honest people truly working for a living could never imagine. I want to wretch when I think that I actually voted for this creep and that I was foolish to cheer him on at our local and state GOP meetings. I've come late to the party in realizing the guy is hardly more than an out and out crook. I am one Purdue degree holder who abhors the idea he heads my alma mater; if I could engineer my "retirement" job to a similar position paying oodles of bucks as did Mitch Daniels, I'd be livin' la vida local too. Just how many freakin' "jobs" paying large sums does the diminutive Mitch Daniels need? Having trouble supporting wandering eye Cheri (the truth of all that lurid mess we've yet to publicly know)? Convicted drug dealer, known political lucre dealer, crony of cronies, Governor CombOver Daniels is merely another self-interested swindler who inveigled himself into politics years back to rise to riches through political connections and political favor trading. If it were not for his entre with the liberal Dick Lugar and the contacts Daniels made through the various political fiefdoms, would Daniels be the "self made" little man he is today?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
