Tuesday’s Talking Points
Here are a few things to ponder this Tuesday.
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard met yesterday with the Marion County Republican members of the General Assembly. No word yet on the topic of discussion, but odds are it had something to do with the Mayor’s objectives for the upcoming Legislative session.
Speaking of Mayors, Marion County Democrats are so excited about their 2008 local victories, they are looking past 2010 to 2011. Word is Melina Kennedy is going to make a run for the job. Sources say she is trying to cut a deal with the Andre Carson camp. Stay tuned.
Former Deputy Secretary of State Matt Tusing says contrary to a story in today’s Indianapolis Star, his leaving the office had nothing to do with an e-mail exchange with Barack Obama campaign coordinator Kip Tew. Tusing told me he was leaving the office to finish law school which he is attending part-time. He says he was planning to change his work load once the election passed. And He says he leaves the office after one of Indiana’s most successful elections.
And if you get a chance today, thank a Veteran for their service. Today is Veteran’s Day. It’s because of Veterans I can write about these things, many of you can read about them, and some of you can mindlessly bicker about them.
