If the Democrats keep getting stronger I suspect that they should keep control of the council and doing away with the at large positions will not hurt them. The Republicans don't seam to have a clue how to run contested council races. Paul Ogden has written a tremendous amount on how bad the Marion County Republican organization has become.<br /><br />The Democrats biggest priority is they have to find someone who can take out Ballard. To do that the candidate will have to buck the downtown establishment. It may be harder especially since the Pacers and Colts are playing well. Where you can attack Ballard is on TIFFS, the bad parking lot and downtown parking deals. Kennedy did a horrible job in her ads, you have to educate the public not yell at them. <br />As much as I hate to say it the soccer stadium may bring in the Hispanic vote for Ballard.guy77moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248410686603913517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-48328027320135251892013-03-04T12:37:19.381-05:002013-03-04T12:37:19.381-05:00I definitely think the AG should be an appointed p...I definitely think the AG should be an appointed position under the Governor.<br /><br />Right now we have an AG who takes the position that he and only he gets to decide how the state handles and resolves litigation. In other words, his position is that he is not only the attorney for the State of Indiana, he is the State of Indiana.<br /><br />I don't agree with that. If the Governor wants to settle X case, I think the AG has to do what the client, the Governor as representative of the State, tells him to do.Paul K.

Since, on the whole, Councilors aren't the brightest kids on the block, I'd gladly accept fewer of them.<br /><br />I also don't mind losing the Supt. of Public Instruction as an elected position, but could we throw in Sec. of State, Treasurer, Atty. General and the rest of the ministerial jobs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
