The Parks department and / or the Libraries could have made better use of the money. <br /><br />The Council originally estimated the cost at roughly $600K, by the way. The first installment in last year's budget went to pay for consultants on the sale of the water company, instead. The Ds hoped Vaughn would move this year's allotment into next year so they could spend it on their mapping 'expert'.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Rokita said he could redistrict the entire State for $50K, and others say it should only cost a couple hundred to do our Council district maps.Had Enough Indy?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673791504434523246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-43592635246192976742011-11-30T11:27:09.408-05:002011-11-30T11:27:09.408-05:00Anon 10:32 - Let's not pretend that cronyism a...Anon 10:32 - Let's not pretend that cronyism and graft only find haven in Township Government. The public could use more enforcement of existing laws as well as better protections under the law for corrupt government at all levels - including the sacred school districts.<br /><br />That bein said... If you believe what you say about Wayne Township, you can contact the State Board of Accounts regarding an audit of the books, and the press about corruption. There is a hotline set up in the City for reporting corruption, but I don't know what it is. I did have it at one time and I'll post it if/when I find it again.Had Enough Indy?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673791504434523246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-73963437768836728332011-11-30T11:04:35.632-05:002011-11-30T11:04:35.632-05:00This fabrication is only costing us $250,000.

As you point out, the redistricting bills specifically list precincts in them. They are not dividing precincts.<br /><br />Now if you look at the Congressional district bill it appears that they went by census tracks maybe 10-12 times when they listed the territory that is District 7, the one that occupies most of Marion County. So maybe 10 precincts might need to be adjusted...if that.Paul K.
