A Tale of Two Indys

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

As you know Melina Kennedy formally announced Monday she is running for Mayor.  Although her staff did not provide copies of the speech, they did embed it in her website.  I used that to transcribe the speech.  I got about 98% of it, anything omitted were stumbles and small things that had no bearing on the content.   (If you don’t trust me you can compare the two).

Speaking of comparison, it’s interesting how Melina and incumbent Mayor Greg Ballard both portray the City and it challenges.  I’ve embedded a copy of his re-election announcement as well.  I’d be interested to see who you think is closer to reality.

FYI:  I did a word count of both speeches, less than 150 words of text difference between the two.
