Strange Bedfellows

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

A veteran reporter once told me that if you stick around a place long enough you will eventually see everything.   Well that statement was definitely true at Monday night’s City-County Council meeting.  Here’s what I witnessed.

• Libertarian Ed Coleman voting with Joanne Sanders against eliminating the position of Telecom Director.
• Democrats voting against the Indy Go budget.
• A Republican joining Democrats to vote against spending $290,000 on early redistricting.
• Bi-partisan votes for and against almost every budget item, except the Marion County Public Library budget.   That got unanimous support.
• Me agreeing with Democrat Jon Easter that the people who are opposed to the Wishard referendum should stop whining about the media and get organized.

Politics really does make strange bedfellows.
