He had only two years experience when he was appointed head of the litigation at City Legal. He didn't even know the difference between interrogatories and written deposition quesitons (he made the mistake 3 times in a filing so I know it wasn't just a slip). <br /><br />I had numerous cases against Mayes when he was at City Legal. Quite frankly, he didn't know what he was doing half the time. For Straub to suggest he's one of the top litigators in the state is utterly astonishing. Mayes can barely find the courtroom. Some of the arguments he made in court were downright embarassing. Quite simply, he's just a young, inexperienced attorney who sucked up to the right people to get positions he clearly is not qualified for.Paul K.

He even compared himself to Peyton Manning at one point and said he had assembled the absolute best team in the country at his own choosing to rebuild the police department. His claim totally imploded when he went on to name Jon Mays, who he suggested was one of the state's top litigators, former undocumented worker Carolyn Requiz-Smith (to appease hispanics), Gary Coons (to appease the disabled) and the rotund retired police officer from Baltimore (to appease blacks) as among those top notch team members he had assembled. Even Vernon Brown could barely control his laughter.Gary R.

It's an unnecessary layer of government. Instead of providing for Public Safety, Straub is enhancing his own image. Instead of providing for public safety, Straub is remodeling a suite of offices for his enlarged staff (that includes a public relations staff). Instead of hiring police/firemen, he's hiring Assistant Directors and public relations staff...<br /><br />It's unheard of for a political appointee to interfere with a police investigation and order the findings changed! <br /><br />There is a command level problem. The Public Safety Director is not a police officer and should only be kept informed after the report is released by his Chief of Police. There is also an ethical problem....and this stinks to high heaven. <br /><br />Frank Straub, Indianapolis does not need you!CircleCityScribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691157547732269477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-51003466422167416962010-10-08T16:28:29.606-05:002010-10-08T16:28:29.606-05:00So, they were not demoted for failing to take char...So, they were not demoted for failing to take charge of the scene.<br />They were demoted because they refused to support Herr DOC-TOR Straub at the press conference.Concerned Taxpayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952241910289966736noreply@blogger.com
