This did happen under Daniels and probably ...Paul,<br /><br />This did happen under Daniels and probably stretches back to when Ron Stiver was the BMV Commissioner. But Pence should have cleaned out the BMV the minute he took office. He has know about this for sometime and it was only now he is pretending to do anything about it! The IG will punish nobody of any importance. Pence needs to explain why he waited so long to do anything. He also needs to explain why he hired Debra Minot back from Daniels first term to run FSSA! Minot was an absolute disgrace as head of State Personnel! Daniels also needs to explain why he let the BMV scandal occur. Pence is a traitor to the Republican Party and to real conservative principles!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-7792112220682020962015-08-06T14:20:25.311-05:002015-08-06T14:20:25.311-05:00If you want to learn the ugly truth about Indianap...If you want to learn the ugly truth about Indianapolis during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, read "Deadline: Indianapolis" by Pulitzer winning author Dick Cady. Dick was arrested for telling the truth. <br /><br />My copy of the book was signed by Dick Cady when we met for coffee. A good friend and member of our local fraud examiner group just purchased a paperback copy for $600. I just looked on Amazon and you can purchase a hardback copy for just under $8,000 and a Kindle for much less.

Some of the money then was used to pay legal expenses of the Watergate Cubans that actually broke into the Democratic HQ. Most fortunes start out with a crime. In this case it was gambling & prostitution payoffs.

After the implementation of Uni-Gov, Indianapolis got a bunch of new liquor licenses. The only catch was that you couldn't get a liquor license unless you cut Bulen in on the action. A remnant of Bulen's corrupt law firm is about to become a Republican city council member. That firm's offices are in the same building owned by the Turkish immigrant who purchased the local Republican Party after Tim Durham's spectacular fall from grace. Gannett employees working for the Indianapolis Star are barred from using Pulliam era archived stories which allow the dots to be connected to allow the veil to be pulled back to reveal the extent to which our local government is run by an organized crime syndicate.

Keith Bulen was a deputy prosecutor later fired after being accused of fixing a case implicating Indianapolis racketeer Tuffy Mitchell. Bulen hand-picked Richard Lugar and served as his mayoral campaign chairman in 1967 and 1971. Lugar’s choice for police chief was a Sargent, with close ties to the Mitchell gambling empire. Lugar’s police department appeared to have been, according to reports at the time and subsequent writings, the most corrupt in Indianapolis history. Mitch Daniels worked on Lugar's re-election campaign in 1971, and 1974 via Bulen's Campaign Communicators, Inc, a political consultancy where he served as vice president. Daniels joined Lugar's mayoral staff and, within three years, became Lugar's principal assistant.
