The ally of my enemy is my friend!
In his quest to consolidate local government, Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson may have found an ally in the most unlikely of places, the Indiana Republican Party. I am not making this up. I was checking the state GOP website this morning and under Indiana Watch (Jan 10, 2006 edition), the GOP calls for the elimination of township assessors, trustees and consolidating township fire departments. Once again, I am not making this up. The Indiana State GOP is advocating consolidating township functions. Go to the website and check it out yourself. Once the Mayor gets wind of this, he is going to have more ammo in his pocket and the Marion County GOP is going to have to scramble on this one. By the way, I’ve printed off a copy of the webpage in the event it gets changed today. You may want to do the same.
