IS VERN BROWN THE NEW “HNIC”?
My sources in city hall are abuzz this evening. Indianapolis Fire Deputy Fire Chief Doug Reno is said to get ready to turn in his resignation over recent actions by Deputy Chief and Council Democrat Vern Brown. Brown who is an assistant chief allegedly vetoed a list of candidates for promotion for director of training because there were no African-Americans on the list. I had no idea Brown had that much control in the Indianapolis Fire Department. I thought Jim Greeson was in charge. The power must be nice. It is also another reason why public officials should not be allowed to serve on the Councils that govern them. Who knows what else is out there? I intend to find out.
