Miser and her hubby sure do seem to be pros at sucking the big bucks from the overtaxed voters. Hasn't Lori Miser been connected more than once to questionable contractor deals? Yeah, I thought so. <br /><br />As Marion County enters what is essentially Greg Ballard Term 3, the City will continue to see an utterly useless Council that should have been disbanded long ago and a group of mayor office cronies each working more to line pockets than to help County residents.<br /><br />After that, watch for the uber-corrupt Marion County GOP to bring Ryan Vaughn back from the political safety of his Party-induced "isolation" with all his sky-high salary and perks to run for Mayor.

The new mayor's appointment of Lori B. Miser as Director of the Department of Public Works is absolute proof of his commitment to crony capitalism. Your description of her as "a reliable battle ax that's bought and paid for by the contracting community" is perfect. Under Greg Ballard, DPW executive Director Lori Miser concealed actions which, according to statute, required public hearings before the Board of Public Works. Indiana Code 36-3-5-5 mandates that the director of a department shall exercise the powers of the department, subject to the authority granted to a board in the department. Lori Miser disagrees.

This keeps the pipes clean. They used to also do it in the summer but it is my understanding that they now only do this different treatment once a year.

Who runs our water dept anyway? We get bills from citizens energy, which used to be that horrible man Carey Lykins, who caused all our bills to triple. But is there a name of somebody in particular who has the responsibility to make sure our water is clean and safe?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
