Take for example a former secretary hired by the former Marion County GOP Chairman for skills short of actual work skills who stole a bunch money from the party. She was never charged. It was totally covered up because the county chairman was too embarrassed about all the facts that would come to light about his relationship with her if she was criminally prosecuted. Gary R.

This is so representative of the wretched cesspool that swirls around plans for this new Justice Center. I’m a paying customer of the Small Claims Courts as a landlord with regular eviction filings. So I feel entitled to weigh in on the various proposals Ballard snatches out of the clouds as solutions to the current Court and Jail locations. I thought the airport property was a terrible choice because its really far away. And while the GM stamping plant has a great location, as a taxpayer I’m really concerned about the cost of redeveloping that property. And I hate the idea of doing what we did with the parking meters and giving the whole project ownership to an outside company that charges us rent. I don’t think it makes long term sense. But then I don’t take lightly our steady rape by the downtown mafia. Before I took up the issue of a new Justice Center, I’d give the Fieldhouse to Indiana University, tell the Simons to move the Pacers somewhere else, dissolve the CIB, declare every TIF unconstitutional, and reallocate all that money to a professionally responsible public safety director with oversight of police, courts and facilities. And I wouldn’t let Carey Lykins or Barnes and Thornburg or Carl Brizzi or the Land Bank fraudsters anywhere near it.local landlordnoreply@blogger.com
