I dont think its too much to ask them to buy $1 worth of toilet paper a month, or otherwise they can forfiet some of their salary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-44533568545765577312012-03-09T07:44:59.163-05:002012-03-09T07:44:59.163-05:00This is screaming for a grand jury.This is screaming for a grand jury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-35317615627342002902012-03-08T19:03:37.666-05:002012-03-08T19:03:37.666-05:00Let me get this straight.

The city is putting up millions for the Broad Ripple garage,but the IMPD does not have enough money to buy toilet paper for toilets at South West Dirtrict headquarters.When cops have to buy their own toilet paper,things are bad.<br /><br />But hey, we will have a great garage,that we won't own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-20030984809826233472012-03-08T18:19:22.530-05:002012-03-08T18:19:22.530-05:00Surprise may not be the right word, how about disg...Surprise may not be the right word, how about disgusted. Per today's paper some of the 20 million the city received for the meter deal; 6.4 million for the BR garage(isn't that losing twice?) and 3.5 for fees to build the deal.

One movie theater complex draws in over 5 thousand people a week to see a movie and is open 365 days a year.<br /><br />2. People will drive over 30 miles or more to one of these complexes to see a movie.<br /><br />3. Free Parking.<br /><br />4. The restaurants do booming business before and after people see a movie.<br /><br />5. All ages see movies.<br /><br />6. The shopping areas around the movie theaters benefit from people who stop to shop before and after the movie. Not to mention the parents and people who will drop someone off and go shopping while they see a movie.<br /><br />People who are staying at local hotels and motels will spend a couple of hours seeing a movie.<br /><br />Local stores sell movie related items, especially toys.<br /><br />The local owners must pay the distributors of the movie, who in turn pay large fees to actors and the company's that make the movies.<br /><br />The parallels are amazing when you think about them. Now can someone give me a good reason to subsidize pro sports?<br /><br /><br />The money the local theaters generate for the economy dwarfs both the Paces and the Colts in cash floor to the Marion and the surrounding counties.guy77moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248410686603913517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-8791467250989270442012-03-08T15:07:44.713-05:002012-03-08T15:07:44.713-05:00That and the FOP will be gunning for raises too.That and the FOP will be gunning for raises too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-71444545125249230102012-03-08T13:49:17.923-05:002012-03-08T13:49:17.923-05:00Don't forget the north of south/city way boond...Don't forget the north of south/city way boondoggle.
