Fishers Town Council Ture to Form Once Again

I am glad to see that the Fishers Town Council has not waivered from its policy not to listen to the Citizens of the Town of Fishers.  I was fearfully for a moment that the Council might change, but thank god they didn’t.

Recently they asked citizens to name a new park that they are building at a cost of $3.5 million. They got 72 suggested names and you would think they might have listened and maybe just maybe picked one. But true to form the Council once again didn’t listen and came up with there own one.  Thank goodness I was worried for a while. This continues a proud tradition of ignoring the citizens of the Town soon to become a City and only a City because the town folk were allowed to vote otherwise the town government would still be around.  So the ugly apartments and garage replace the beautiful treed entrance to Town Hall, the train station is being torn down to make way for more ugly structures, etc.

What can you do, this fall vote for every non-incumbent no matter what party they are, no matter what their policies are. It is time to shake up the ruling class that always knows what is best for everyone and therefore never listens; oh I forgot they do listen if you are a developer with big bucks.

Fishers you have got to be kidding? Givng away $34 milllion.

The Fishers Town Council and Mayor elect Scott Fadness has become a pot of gold for area developers. According to the Star on Sunday June 29 a list of Fishers developments also had how much money the Council is giving away to various developers for each project. One of the items didn’t have a dollar sign next to it yet but assuming it will be over two hundred thousand, it would bring the total Christmas gifts to 34 million dollars. That’s right 34 million dollars. You read correctly 34 million dollars or almost ½ of the entire year budget.

Have these people gone crazy? Are they trying to outdo Carmel? Of course they always have had Carmel envy. But it is money of the citizens of the town soon to be a city. This is what happens when you have one party in total control of government. They stop listening or for that matter caring.

If you live in Fishers it has become even more important to elect a member of the opposition to office. That way all these secret deals wouldn’t happen. I know this is hard for many of you die hard Republicans to do or think about. But thinking that your elected officials are following the Regan concepts is far form real. When it comes to giving away money to developers Democrats ask why? Then they say no.

Instead of following blindly think about it this fall.

Mourdock refuses to let facts get in the way of ideology

On Abortion: Pregnancy From Rape Is “it is something that God intended to happen."

Warns America Heading Way of Nazi Germany in Dramatic Farewell Speech:
"The people of Germany in a free election selected the Nazi party because they made great promises that appealed to them because they were desperate and destitute. And why is that? Because Germany was bankrupt,"

"First they went after their political opponents. Then they went after the aristocrats. Then they went after the trade unionists. And ultimately of course they went after the Jews. They deprived them of their property, their rights, their citizenship, and for millions their humanity. Because they were bankrupt!"

On bipartisanship: "bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view."

Richard Mourdock is leaving his position as Treasurer of the State of Indian due to term limits, but he has hand picked his replacement. It is time for the people of this state to reject his ideology and his hand picked replacement.

It is time for new leadership in the office of Treasurer - Vote for Mike Boland for Indiana Treasurer in November 2014.

Pot Hole City - Indy renamed.

No officer.

License and registration and get out of the car.

You were weaving all over the road, I am going to have to check you for drunk driving.

I can explain the weaving.

Well?

Do you realize how many potholes I had to dodge to prevent damage  to my car?

It is not easy  to drive here, Indy need to be renamed from the 500 to dodge city.

How is your cruiser? How is your alignment?

Walk a straight line, touch your nose, OK you can go , but stop weaving.

How about telling the Mayor instead of Cricket, he should get a shovel and patch some holes?

Get out of here.

Fishers Firemen SHAME on you.

Citizens of Fishers, you are being used by the Firemen in the recent election, they didn’t care one bit about the quality of the candidates, about the position of the candidate relative to the long term good for the community. They cared only about one thing, which candidates would support a pay raise for them, which candidates would provide money.

One of the questions that was asked in the endorsement process was exactly that, if they would support a pay raise next year. Endorsements were based on these simple factors.

To make matter worst they imported help to man the polling places on primary day. Why did we have firemen from Carmel and Cicero handing out their endorsement papers to citizens of Fishers. I overheard one fireman when he came to do his turn at the poll say to the one who was leaving “How is our pay raise coming.?”

The end result is that we no longer should pay any attention to the fire union and who they endorse. They have proven they are just another union looking out for their members only and working to elect candidate who have promised payback for the endorsement. Not for the community they serve.

Fisher Fire Union and firemen shame on you.

Another Republican that shouldn't hold any office.

REPUBLICAN or should I say Repugnant State Senator Stacy Campfield of Knoxville, Tennessee posted on May 5^th his “Thought of the Day”:

 “Democrats bragging about the number of mandatory sign ups for Obamacare is like Germans bragging about the number of manditory [sic] sign ups for ‘train rides’ for Jews in the 40s."

Mr. Campfield you owe my grandparents an apology, you see they were "transported east" in 1942 to Riga, Latvia and then along with about 3,740 German, Austrian, and Czech Jews were taken to mass graves in the woods north of Riga and machine gunned to death. Mr. Campfield they didn't board that train willingly they were taken to it, put in a cattle car and shipped in the dead of winter to Riga, when they arrived they were marched to Jungfernhof concentration camp and about a month later marched into the woods.

Actually I think you owe 6 million people an apology. Unfortunately they can't hear you.

BTW- even the Republican leadership in Tennessee could take his latest outrageous and insensitive statements. The GOP state chairman’s statement deserves to be read in its entirely:

    "While Stacey Campfield routinely makes remarks that are over the top, today's comments are ignorant and repugnant. No political or policy disagreement should ever be compared to the suffering endured by an entire generation of people. Those comments have no place in our public discourse. He should offer an apology to members of the Jewish faith immediately."

This man needs to be driven out of office and hopefully someone in the State of Tennessee will take him on in the next election.

Kelly for Mayor, Allman for Trustee a few good reasons and many others. Vote May 6th.

Kelly for Mayor, Allman for Trustee a few good reasons and many others. Vote May 6th.

It is a pretty sad day for the people of Fishers and Hamilton County when you view many of the candidates for this year’s election. Here is my favorite a race for Judge with one candidate that has a flyer with a fake family, fake well maybe but when the Judge has one woman and three children next to him it becomes a fake family. Now he claims he wanted to show the type of people he would serve, well then he should have had 20 children in his photo not three and those three were borrowed from other judges families. So I would say his opposition Judge Hughes would be a better choice.

Mayor – The race has come down to two candidates Kelly and Fadness, if you are planning to vote for any of the others you are throwing away your vote. What brothers me the most about this race is that Mr. Fadness is bought and paid for by all the big time developers, and law firms. If elected Mayor who will he favor, citizens or developers, based on what has happened in from of Town Hall the answer is pretty clear. I can’t think of a city that would not want beautiful green space in front of their town hall, can you? The to give millions in taxpayer money to these developers is a sin pure and simple any other statement is false. If this had been such a great idea whose time had come why did they pay off the developers with tax money? Why is it that every time you turn around on business development do they give them tax breaks? If Fadness get elected we would continued to see this crazy miss matched growth, tax breaks for developers etc, the real impact will be on our school system.  Another school referendum is coming, so instead of business paying taxes it’s you and I. 

Mr. Kelly would be the best Mayor out of this bunch. First he is not bought and paid for by anyone. The contributions to his race came from people. That to me is an important factor. Next I truly believe he cares a lot more about the community than does Mr. Fadness. Also lets look at his age and experience. At 69 if he wins and then runs again next year and wins the election after that he will be 74 and should retire. That gives us the chance by then to have other prove them selves in city government and have someone else run for Mayor. If Fadness gets in I fear he might be around for 20 years. Not good for a city government.  So I urge you to vote for Kelly.

The next big race is for Fall Creek Trustee. I do not understand why Mr. Jeff Hern is even running. During the City yes or no vote, Mr. Hern wanted to merge the Township with the Town and get rid of it. His reward was he would be appointed to the new City Council and maybe he thought he could be appointed Mayor in the funny city they proposed. So here we have someone who wants to shut down the Township and now claims it is the greatest thing since sliced bread and vote for me. When he took office he sold off two new donated freezers to his employees for $100 because they didn’t need them etc, now the food bank is so important etc. The use of the community building by the public has drastically been reduced. Did I say “community building” or is this something he has forgotten. But one of the worst things he has done is trying to use tax dollars to buy voting endorsements. He wanted to give the Town of Fishers $300,000 for fixing up the fire station at Brooks School road. The Town already had the money set aside, or a stunt to get the endorsement of the Fireman’s Union. It worked. Now he is telling voters he is going to build another fire station out near Cyntheanne Road, well according the Fishers Fire Chief that will be talked about in 2018 and might be in the 2019 budget. But to listen to Mr. Hern it is just around the corner. Tisk, Tisk. 

On the other hand we have Mr. Doug Allman who for three years in a row on the Township Board pushed to get a tanker truck for the Fire Department to help in areas that do not have fire hydrants and have it stationed in this area, not very glamorous but very much needed. He also proposed and voted for tax cuts three years in a row, while Hern claims he got the tax cuts, ask him how he voted, as Trustee you don’t vote. Another Hern claim out the window. Mr. Allman was also the Chairman of City Yes and let the fight to allow people to have the right to vote for a Mayor. That alone should be enough to pick him over Mr. Hern for Trustee. I would have to say I “Trust” Mr. Allman a lot more to be Trustee.

One of the bad things about local elections in this area is no media. It is very hard to find out what is really going on.  So some of the candidates with lots of money have big signs. So you need to check where the money came from for the big signs, developers of course. So I would not vote for anyone who is currently sitting on the town council of purchased big signs. The current council members are all hypocrites.  They endorsed the reorganized city and wanted to take away your right to vote now they want to be part of the city. Shame on them. Then we have Block and Coble both paid for by developers.  Another bad sign is David George and his money from the Royal Tiger PAC that appeared to have gotten money form developers in exchange for advance information on what is going on in the town.  I would hope the people bring Bill Brown to the new council instead of Mr. George. Here are some of my picks: (ones not listed – no race)
Mayor – Kelly

Clerk – Winkler

NW Council Seat – Stoller

NC Council Seat – Brown

SW Council Seat – Brown

NE Council Seat – DeReamer

At Large – Heinzmann, Zimmerman, Bracken

Fall Creek – Trustee – Allman
