Political Potpourri
Once again there are quite a few things going on in the world of local and state politics today.
Indiana Republican continue to express their outrage over the failure of constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage, however sources inside the GOP camp admit that a good chuck of this issue was to corner Democrats and force them to vote it down in the full General Assembly and use it as a campaign issue in 2008.
Center Township Trustee Carl Drummer may be out of a job. Senator James Merritt says legislation calling for the merger of fire departments may yet be amended to eliminate township trustees in Marion County that don’t have fire departments. That would eliminate both the Washington and Warren Township Trustees who’ve allowed their departments to merge and Drummer’s office would be a collateral effect of the legislation.
Marion County Sheriff Candidate Kerry Forestal is playing down speculation in the blogsphere that his candidacy has angered Blacks in the Democratic Party. Forestal may want actually talk to some Blacks, because I have yet to her from one who is enthusiastic about his candidacy. In fact, many are bitter.
That’s the latest for now.
