TALES FROM THE TOWNSHIPS
I’m hearing some strange things are going on out in the townships these days. My sources tell me Wayne Township Trustee David Baird wants an $8,000 raise. I don’t what planet he’s on but apparently it’s not one where people pay taxes otherwise he wouldn’t try to pull a stunt like that. It’s bad enough his brother is on the payroll as his Chief of Staff.
In Perry Township someone is handing out parking permits to allow their out of state friends (from New Jersey) to park downtown (near the RCA Dome) without any problems. For the life of me I just can’t understand why the Perry Township constable’s office would give out a parking permit to an out of state vehicle to park in downtown Indianapolis this week? (Insert sarcasm here) By the way, I have pictures if you want to see them.
And returning to Speedway, the town council fired the manager John McCurtain with three months left to go on his contract. According to the Speedway Navigator, a new publication in town, McCurtain was let go for “budgetary reasons.” I don’t see how you can fire someone under contract and not pay him if the issue isn’t performance related. But this is also the same town that passed an ordinance so the government can enter your apartment without your permission. There’s something funny going here, folks.
