Friday Stuff
We had some technical issues yesterday, but the blog is back up and running. Here’s the latest news.
Indiana’s unemployment rate creeped up to 9.4 percent, up from 9.3 percent. The scary part of the figure is that 58 of 92 counties have unemployment rates of 10 percent or higher.
Expect a bill next week, probably Thursday, to deal with the CIB budget shortfalls. No word yet on the actual funding mechanism.
I’m told Stephen Rink, the Decatur Township Trustee will go ask the State for a tax increase in order to pay for fire service as the township is growing broke.
I’m also hearing Dr. Eugene White took a swipe at former John Marshall principal Jeff White in an administrative meeting recently. He reportedly said Jeff White was removed from his job because his mental capacity and was in an institution getting mental treatment. The last time I checked Jeff White was home recovering from heart surgery. That sounds like slander and defamation to me.
I’m off to Illinois to go be a comedian. Back on Sunday.
