ADVERTISEMENTS

It’s nice to be back after a few days of lawyer school.  Here are my thoughts on few events that have, are happening or will happen soon…

Legislative Meltdown?

  • Don’t be surprised if there is a total meltdown at the Indiana General Assembly over the unemployment insurance fund and the fact that the budget forecast revenues are worse than anyone thought.
Rules of Engagement
  • I have to give the Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard’s staff credit for being straight with the public after he got robbed in Detroit.  It would have made no sense to not put the information out.  It would have been worse had the press found out about it.  In addition, I think now he’ll be able to security with him everywhere.
The Law of Unintended Consequences
  • State Representative Cherrish Pryor has reportedly introduced legislation that would transfer portions of the Indianapolis Public Safety Tax to the townships to pay for fire protection.  The logic being that township residents are paying for a service they don’t receive.  Apparently what Pryor has failed to understand is that any transfer to the townships would mean budget cuts at IFD.  That would mean personnel reductions and since the consent decree regarding racial higher preferences is going away, that means the last hired (mostly African-Americans) would be the first fired.  I’m not sure if that is what Cherish wants because she’s been an advocate for minority representation on IFD.
