In the Marion County Prosecutor’s race, WTHR reports Carl Brizzi is ahead by 16 points and in the 7th Congressional District, Eric Dickerson leads Julia Carson by three points.

The Appeal of Voter ID

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments Wednesday on Indiana’s Voter ID law. It’s an interesting discussion, to say the least. You can hear it here. If you can’t hear it, search for Crawford v. Rokita. There is a hilarious part when the bench tells one Plaintiff’s lawyer to sit down because he has […]

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

I’m going to surprise many of you today and pay a compliment to Melina Kennedy, the Democratic candidate for County Prosecutor. Don’t look shocked! I’ve done it before. Click here to read it. I know a lot of you like to think I’m on the GOP’s payroll, but they can’t afford me. Back to the […]

21 Days and Counting!

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

I can always tell when we’re getting down to the wire in an election season. Weird things happen much more frequently. Don’t believe me, well try these on for size.

No Harm, but Still Foul!

Monday, October 16th, 2006

The Special Prosecutor investigating reported corruption at the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute says there will be no charges filed against former Director Heather Bolejack for her conduct at the ICJI. Apparently her deeds rose to the level of mismanagement but not malfeasance. I reported this would likely happen back in May. Here’s the link. I’m […]

I’m working on an article regarding the city’s recent crime problems and asking voters if it matters? Feel free to post your thoughts. Thanks. Have a great weekend.

Some Items of Note

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Lawrence Cop Controversy City of Lawrence police Chief Jack Bailey has apparently fallen out of favor with the officers on his force. The Lawrence FOP voted to kick the chief out of the union last night. There’s something funny going on up there and I plan to find out. Gray v. Randolph (Round One) There […]

Does Indy Deserve Better?

Monday, October 9th, 2006

The nice thing about the Saturday papers is that’s where the more interesting news lies. It’s also where you’ll find stories that some folks might not want you to know about because you have busier things to do. For example, in Saturday’s Indianapolis Star, both the city and Colts owner Jim Irsay agreed the team […]

Circle City Silliness

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

Okay let’s see how this weekend is shaping up. Some Indiana Pacers get into a fight at a strip club and guns and marijuana are at the scene. Jim Irsay and the city agree the Colts shouldn’t have to fork over any money to cover the extra $10 million overrun costs in the day to […]
