Marion County-County Shuffle
Although Democrats have a majority on the Indianapolis City-County Council a Republican could end up as President come Monday night. Sources tell me, in addition to Steve Talley running for President, two other Democrats are bucking for the job; Majority Leader Monroe Gray and former Council President Roselle Boyd are possible candidates. So how does Republican Minority Leader Phil Borst become President? Easy, to become Council President you need 15 votes, period. The President of the Council does not have to be of the majority party. So if three Democrats are all running for President and the Republicans stay united, Borst has a 14 block. And I know of at least one Democrat who could vote for the GOP. Stay tuned to Monday night.
