Monday Morning Musings
Here are some political tidbits you might have missed to get your Monday morning off to the usual start. As usual take them for what they are worth…
Don’t be surprised if the next Public Safety Director for Marion County is from out of town.
Former City-Controller Kathy Davis says she’s considering a run for Mayor in 2011.
Expect Brian Williams to hit Melina Kennedy on her “record” of job creation which some Democrats say isn’t what she proclaims it to be.
Marion County Democratic Sheriff candidate John Layton may have some serious explaining to do soon.
The city has received about a dozen or so bids regarding privatization of the operations of Lucas Oil, Conseco Fieldhouse and the new Convention Center.
The Wayne Township Board is getting ready to vote itself a pay raise and retirement benefits.
Former Franklin Township Assessor Becky Williams is running for County Assessor in 2010.
Marion County Health Officials say Smoke Free Indy should not use public money to attack the Mayor or political parties. They also say they are open to other ways to curb tobacco use rather than a total ban on smoking in bars and taverns.
Speaking of which Governor Mitch Daniels says he would sign a smoking ban if it got to his desk, but did not go into details. He also says the economic benefits of smoking bans are grossly exaggerated.
And in case you were wondering, the Governor says his campaign isn’t giving back any money it may have taken from financeer Tim Durham because it’s already been spent.
