In the face of documented proof coming from his own administration that Greg Ballard, Mark Miles, and the other cronies are more properly seated in federal prisons than in public or appointed offices, Ballard would have us believe in Richard Nixon fashion, "I am not a crook!" The proof begs to differ. Are County "R's" finally being hit with the realization of the deep damage caused to them by the dishonest Ballard?<br /><br />I have news for Greg: You will slowly twist in the wind alone. David Brooks and Bob Grand and Tom John and the dim Kyle Walker will do to you what they did to Dennis Fishburn- they will walk away from you. The difference with DF is that he was an honest man who did not understand until the very end how David Brooks used him as a pawn in DB's rage-filled drive to halt the advance of Bart McAtee. Come to think of it, Brooks would make a wonderful federal cell mate for you.

I say almost because tool Kyle Walker with his unwavering support of corruption is part of this criminal enterprise.<br /><br />Where can I find the names of the six City County Councilors who by their vote admit publically they are on the side of corruption endemic to Greg Ballard? I do wish you had printed that information so we could all know instantly what those six persons are made of.<br /><br />This lawsuit is a step in the right direction, but only a step. Greg Ballard, Mark Miles, and the rest of these Vision Fleet crooks must be hauled before a judge. Now that lying Joe Hogsett can no longer harm the Indianapolis public safety with his refusal to prosecute corruption in this City when he was southern district attorney, it's time to bring all the corrupt attorneys who abet Greg Ballard to justice as well.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-28776517197360655842015-06-08T20:26:30.020-05:002015-06-08T20:26:30.020-05:00When is someone resigning and charges being filed?...When is someone resigning and charges being filed?
