Don't listen to polls. Vote your conscience. Although I like Joe, I will be voting for Jackie because someone has to take responsibility for the plight we are in. Since those currently in power appear to be powerless to correct the problem, we must move in a new direction. Unlike in years past, an incumbent already has one strike against them. I want some new faces and fresh ideas to do something (anything) to improve this terrible economy we are facing.
Isn't it ironic that a story about a spelling error would have a grammatical error in the opening paragraph. "If there is an upside to the embarrassing mistake in which South Bend’s public schools were touted on a billboard at the corner of a busy intersection last week, it’s the interest it’s generated in the city." The 2nd "it's" should not have an apostrophe in it. (Signed...the Grammar Police)
"The revised bill still includes language authorizing the mayor to offer hiring bonuses up to $5,000 and performance bonuses up to $10,000." That should be enough to scare everyone into calling the City Council and voice your objection to increasing public sector wages while the private sector continues to shrink. I believe people are tired of government voting themselves raises while they struggle day-to-day to pay their bills.
Coming to a city near you!...Everyone should be prepared to see the same type of cutbacks BH is undergoing. The foreclosure problem will continue to bring down tax revenue for town's and city's resulting in less money to pay for the continued existence of bloated governments and bloated government salaries and benefits. I feel sorry for those that will be affected but public employees need to be prepared for cutbacks and the public needs to be prepared for less service. The problem is the pain going from point A to point B, but once we are at a much lower level of government then our taxes can be much lower. And that's good for everyone.
I, too, am Irish. If I complain, will Notre Dame change its mascot because it offends me as an Irishman? We've got BIG problems in this Country...but this ain't one of them!
I don't care whether he's a democrat or republican, I think our governor is the best. I wish he could be our governor forever. I can't understand why people continue to bring up the toll road issue as if it's a "bad thing." That was maybe the best thing the governor has been able to accomplish. To take a program that was a net loss to the State and turn it into a a billion dollar windfall was incredible. If people would stop putting politics first, they'd realize what a gem Indiana has in its governor. And since he can't be governor again because of the two-term limit, I'd definitely vote for him for President. We need someone to get the Country headed in the right direction again. And let's not forget, the governor was giving of his time to help a good cause, the Indiana National Guard Family Relief Fund.
We all need to watch how this case develops and how it is ultimately resolved. I fear for this homeowner. This is his property and if the City wants it, they should have to pay 150% of the home's value to Mr. Curry (and only if he is willing to sell). But, ND and the City will likely get their way and the "little guy" will just have to accept the results of this "fair and impartial" decision by the courts. I, for one, am tired of government taking aways citizen's rights. God help us all.
NIPSCO needs this rate increase to help pay for the 112% pay increase their Board of Directors voted themselves last year. Here is that story:

Hey! Wait a minute....I thought all illegal immigrants were hard working, law abiding people just trying to make a better living for themselves and their families. That's what the television told me. I guess they were trying to mislead me. I guess I better draw my own conclusion from reading the daily police report in the paper. This is just one of the 12 million reasons why we absolutely need to solve our border problem.
Luckily, he'll be quickly caught when he attempts to cross the southern border (given our air-tight security there).
