October 28, 2010 busy day in Fishers.

This Thursday, October 28, 2010, is going to be rather busy. The Merger (ShamCity) committee meets, Fall Creek Township Board meets and Fishers Town Council meets. From what I hear the Sham Committee will try and recommend its new form of government, but at the same time some of the subcommittees have not even been given time to study the question. This shows how the Town Council is controlling the committee and could care less about the entire process or even if it makes sense. The proposal is for a soft mayor elected by the new city council. Nothing new from what we have today except the name. Every thing stays the same. Remember the old TV show where they came out and said the names of the innocent have been changed to protect them, well in this case the names of the guilty have been changed to allow them to continue in office. They continue to ignore the requirement for public input.

Which brings me to Charlie White – Todd Rokita failed to let people know that he donated $717.62 to Mr. White’s campaign when he declined to continue his investigation by his office. Another major failure of ethics by another elected official.

Speaking of ethics- All three of the Fall Creek Board of Advisors seem to forget that they need to file conflict of interest forms. I have already called out Mr. Reuter and now he no longer votes on matters concerning the Town of Fishers. But the other two have failed to file the proper paperwork, Jason Meyer is also on the Fishers Redevelopment Commission and who is his employer, Dan Rieke has failed to list that he is on the Board of SPORTS who has benefited from Fishers Town spending for ball fields and parks for them as well as good deals on office space. It is time for the other two to fess up. It is also time for them to be honest in their dealings with the people who live in this area. What we needed in this state is an independent board of investigation to go after people who believe ethical behavior does not apply to them.

Fishers Town Council is going to redistrict this Thursday to I gather take care of Mike Colby who was elected to replace Charlie White. You see he does not live in the proper district. I also have to wonder what else they are going to gerrymander. What is interesting they are going to have to do this again very soon based on the new census. So why not waste money on new maps that are good for two months? Of course that way you take care of one of your own, who cares about tax payers. They are also going to approve a new budget. Try and find out anything about this, you won’t. Another secret deal in the works? We will find out after it is published. It is not even in the published packet for the Thursday meeting.

Do you have a few hours on Tuesday to help and provide information to voters in Fall Creek Township. If you do please e-mail me. I need your help.

Also don’t forget if you live in the 29th House District to vote for me, because I care about the people and not the machine.

Approved by Weingarten for 29th District State Representative
