If Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Eugene White wasn’t already having a bad month, the latest news from the Indiana Attorney General’s Office can’t be helping matters much. You might recall earlier this year Dr. White threatened to ban students who left IPS for charter schools of ever returning to the district. White had been […]
I’ve got some work to do this morning so I am going to direct you my guest column in today’s Indianapolis Star. I write about Melina Kennedy’s plan to take $150 million from the Citizens deal and spend it elsewhere. Of course I don’t think it’s a good idea, big shocker there. But my argument […]
Growing up in Chicago you learn a few things, particularly the art of the con game. Whenever the con man tells you to look at one hand, it’s the other hand you should be paying attention to. It would behoove a lot of people to keep that in mind when dealing with Indianapolis Public Schools […]
We all know what happened at today’s Marion County Election Board meeting. A measure that would have allowed for satellite voting this November failed because it did not get an unanimous vote.

I have to give Marion County Clerk Beth White credit in her quest to get satellite voting for the upcoming November election. Citing Republican party concerns over costs, White got the UAW to pony up $50,000 to cover the costs of satellite voting. They even have an agreement already to go for the Mayor to […]
Apparently it is for some folks. Click here to find out why.
There has been a lot of talk about “vision” in the current race for Mayor of Indianapolis. I have always said that “vision” is a lot like beauty, it’s in the eye of the beholder. However, I took some time yesterday to really think about that concept of “vision”. Now that I am in business […]
Don’t call it a comeback. I’m hearing that the Rev. Al Sharpton is reportedly coming back to town on September 17th. Sources say Sharpton will make an appearance at Garfield Park. The Baptist Ministers Alliance is allegedly bringing Sharpton to town. Sharpton was paid to come to Indianapolis last year to protest the Brandon Johnson […]
