HOLD PLEASE
A lot of people have been calling Mayor-elect Greg Ballard to wish him well. Sometimes they get through; sometimes his voice mailbox is full. One person who’s been having a little trouble getting through is the President of the United States. Ballard told me this morning that George W. Bush has been trying to contact him to congratulate him on his victory over incumbent Bart Peterson, but every time he called Ballard’s voice mailbox was full. Ballard says he plans to keep his phone on vibrate and his mailbox messages down so he doesn’t miss other calls. It does say something about the shape this city is in when it is easier for the president of the United States to get a hold of the president of Pakistan than the Mayor-elect of Indianapolis.
