The Indiana Democratic Party has unveiled this You Tube attack against incumbent Republican Senator Dick Lugar. Ironically, you could say the same thing about Barack Obama. When you form a firing squad, make sure it isn’t a circle.
No audio blog today, so this one will be in writing. Apparently Marion County Superior Court Judge Becky Pierson-Treacy is telling fellow judges and lawyers that she and husband Marion County Democratic Chairman Ed Treacy were just joking when they put out their fundraiser invitation that suggested a $1000 contribution will get you a “favorable […]
There is a long-time debate in legal circles as to whether Judges should be elected or appointed? I’ve always favored appointments over elections because I have no desire to see a judge lose his or her position because of legally-sound, but politically unpopular, decisions. Another reason I am not a fan of judicial elections is […]
I had a pretty good response to yesterday’s “audio blog” so we’re going to give this another shot. I’m still working out the formula so bear with me. I did slow down more on this one. Today’s subjects include… Politicizing the State Fair Tragedy ISTA Cheers Court Decision on Contracts Former CEO of Carmel Performing […]
I sat down and chatted this afternoon with GOPAC Chairman Frank Donatelli. GOPAC has a conference in Indianapolis for the next few days. In part one we talked about Indiana being a model for the nation in terms of reform at the state level and the criticism that Republican Governors have balanced their budgets at […]
I’m trying something a little different today on Indiana Barrister. Instead of writing out thoughts I’m recording them for playback.

Here is your copy of the City of Indianapolis’ 2012 budget. It’s interesting reading. My Democratic friends have criticized the budget and are calling for cuts in public safety. Earlier this year they were claiming crime was on the rise, despite what the city was saying. So if crime is one the rise, why do […]
As much as I love democracy and enjoy citizens gathering to address their grievances with their local officials, it would be nice if they did their homework every once in a while. The union crowd Monday night jammed-packed the City-County Council chambers with their supporters to encourage the Council to pass Proposal 242. On the […]
GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain was in town this evening. He spoke to Indiana Republicans on a number of issues from the economy, national security, job creation, the debt, etc. I’ve embedded his comments below. Each cut is about 7 – 8 minutes in length. Herman Cain – Part 1 Herman Cain – Part 2 […]
My good friend and former producer Chris Spangle made a bootleg copy of my last official radio appearance on WXNT. Here it is. Our final list of guests included… Governor and almost was Presidential candidate Mitch Daniels (R) Congressman Mike Pence (R) former Marion County Libertarian Party Chair Tim Maguire Indiana Attorney General Greg […]
