I picked up some interesting information regarding local party politics this week. It goes to precinct committeemen filings for the Marion County Democratic Party and who exactly might be running the show next year.
According to Marion County Clerk Beth White’s Office there were 542 PC filings. The number takes [...]
Lot of people in the news lately because they feel their rights aren’t being respected. In Fort Wayne, some Burmese are mad because a laundromat put a sign on the door telling them to keep out, and a city councilwoman is upset because she can’t get her proposal introduced to add [...]
Somebody apparently forgot to tell Judge Jennifer Evans-Koethe of LaPorte about the need for dignity and decorum and that “I’m sorry” doesn’t cover everything.
Evans-Koethe’s troubles began in December 2008, shortly before she was to be sworn in as judge.
After a night of drinking, Evans-Koethe and her husband, Stephan Koethe, got [...]
This is the final week of deadline madness, so expect even more spottiness and fly-by updates, but hell, while I’ve got you…
I’m still amazed at how little coverage the Mexican drug wars are getting north of the border, but maybe this latest story will goose something along. An American [...]

Not a good milestone to reach:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - For the first time since before the Civil War and perhaps ever, more people in Indiana work in government than in all the factories in the state.
Rocked by layoffs, imports and automation, workers in Indiana plants numbered 430,800 in January, while [...]

I think we’re all agreed here the proposed $2 billion transfer of the city’s water and wastewater facilities is the biggest policy/political move of the Ballard administration. It is fraught with a lot of risk, but also a lot of reward. There’s going to be a lot of talk in [...]
Today: Mostly cloudy. Chance of morning drizzle. High 49.
Obama’s welcome to hold fundraisers for Baron, of course, so long as they’re far from southern Indiana.

Published Daily Digest for March 13th.
Saw the hurt locker tonight. Good movie very very intense. [xtrarant] [...] I’ve seen and heard a lot about the notion of a “city as a platform”. I haven’t seen a lot of great definitions of exactly what is meant by it though, so I thought I would explore various dimensions of the concept a bit.
Let’s take a look at the actual [...]
