It’s Not Watergate, But…
Indianapolis City-County Council Republicans are introducing an ordinance that would call for a special committee to be formed to investigate Council President Monroe Gray. Both state and local laws allow for the creation of a panel with appropriate subpoena power. Republicans say recent actions and alleged indiscrepancies on the part of Gray make the formal investigation necessary.
They cite Gray’s reported failure to disclose his business connections with a city contractor as well as his being less than forthcoming regarding his wife’s involvement in the 300 East Bar-Restaurant.
And if Gray did not have enough trouble it is also being reported that he is connected with a fire fighter’s charity that had a city bank account to write checks, however City-Comptroller Bob Clifford, who has oversight authority, was not aware of this.
Democrats will accuse Republicans of playing politics, but with the recent pea shake busts, something much bigger is taking place in the Circle City. It’s not Watergate, but something is definitely not right in the State of Marion County.
