Ow.<br />=========================================================<br /><br />I recall when during the Gold$mith Regime when Bankers Life was first being floated as a new stadium. I soon realized the Crony Capitalism Machine had already been assembled in secret, all the gears, levers, and switches were in place, it just needed the "Go Code" to be entered and the Corporate Welfare Machine would be operational. The Star and local Media were all there urging the Republicrat politicians to press the button. <br /><br />Hog$hit, will not impede this new scheme in way shape or form. The 99% are helpless.

Yet not a damn person in our useless news media will ask Hogsett to explain who those people are or why he didn't prosecute them while he was in a position to do so. The corruption extends to the Indianapolis Star, the IBJ and all of the TV stations, who prohibit any reporter from doing investigative stories exposing their corruption. Gary R.

Some of these leaders are in government, some in business. We do not have this visionary leadership in Indy in either sector. Our city run by thieves and whores who take whatever they can take today with little regard for tomorrow. <br /><br />But it's not just their fault. I've lived in a number of top tier cities and what is different about Indy, at least from my perspective, is that there is no cadre of people here who care more about the community as a whole than they do their own special interests. Minneapolis has hordes of these people. So does Portland, Denver, Austin, Seattle, Tucson, and a whole host of other places I'm familiar with. Indy? No. I haven't met or heard of one. Even people who profess to care here are more concerned that somebody else is getting something for nothing than they are the overall health of the city as a whole. Those organizations that do exist are more concerned with image than substance. That won't get'er done.<br /><br />But I understand, because I have also never lived anywhere else where the pressure to conform is as great as it is here. Buy a Colts jersey. Drink yourself silly every weekend. Grumble about how bad it is with friends who could be your demographic twins. Blame New England for everything, but whatever else you do, do not stick your neck out and try to change anything because you will be shot down. Indy likes what Indy is. Expect the rapings to continue until that changes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-71700634721850808432015-08-24T22:06:41.248-05:002015-08-24T22:06:41.248-05:00I think that's a privilege that comes with bei...I think that's a privilege that comes with being the owner of any professional sports team in this country.
