Political Potpourri

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

There are lots of little things to mention this morning, so here they are.

• Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate for President will be in Northern Indiana speaking in Valparaiso.
• Jill Long Thompson is getting a little bit of traction in her campaign.  A new poll shows JLT and Mitch statistically tied.  This comes the day JLT announced a new plan to help reduce Indiana’s home foreclosure rate.
• The funeral services for the late State Senator Marvin Riegsecker will be this Saturday in Goshen.  Riegsecker was a hard worker and really nice guy.  I met him during the Daylight Savings Time debate.  He was one of the bill’s sponsors.  He was definitely a class act.
• Now that the budget is out of the way, expect some major environmental initiatives to be coming out Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard’s office in the next few weeks.
