Today’s History Lesson
Marion County Democratic Party Chairman Mike O’Connor called on Republican candidates for this year’s municipal offices to get on board the consolidation train. O’Connor said he found it odd that the same people who opposed government consolidation for the past three years are now calling for less government. He said if they want less government they should support Indy Works. O’Connor said Indy Works opponents were engaging in revisonist history.
When O’Connor took aim at State Senator Jim Meritt for opposing consolidation because he wanted to protect the township assessors, I politely reminded him that Marion County Democrats led by State Rep. William Crawford also did their part to oppose government consolidation this year, by not giving up the Township Trustee offices in their zeal to protect Center Township Trustee Carl Drummer, which was partially responsible for the Mayor’s plan not passing this year.
Now the history lesson is more complete.
