The Great Fishers, IN Sham.

The latest in the merger committee to try and keep Scott in power and the council the same. They are proposing a new form of government that does not exist in Indiana and may not be allowed but its Fishers and they do as they please. The new city has 9 elected councilmen, at large, and they in turn elect a Mayor. The elected Clerk/Treasurer becomes a appointed Controller. Actually this is the same as the current Town Council but is called a City and the Council President becomes a "weak Mayor." So the circle is now complete no accountability at all. Just one happy family under the total control of weak Mayor Scott. Of course this comes from the Sham Merger Committee that is railroading this along for Mayor Scott. I guess all of you on the committee should be ashamed of yourselves for being part of this game under the direction of the Town.

I can only guess all of you skipped school during civic class.So here is a lesson for you.

In the year 1215 the King John recognized the right of the barons to petition the crown with the signing of the Maga Carta, this grew in time to the right to petition Parliament and the House of Commons. On July 4, 1776 our forefathers said: "In every state of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." And King George III ignored the petitions of his people. Our founding fathers made sure this concept would live on forever and its importance can't be overlooked in that it became the "First Amendment" of our Constitution. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." And in 1925 the Supreme Court held that this applied to state and local governments.

With the exception it appears of Fishers Indiana. We have submitted a legal petition to call for a vote and it is time to place this on the ballot without delay. But in Fishers they do as they please and even the Constitution of the United States does not apply. See you in Court.
