Good job by Mr. Jehl. Often, no one will ask questions and details are therefore hidden from the public. I know that Mr. Jehl might ask questions that make the city administration or his own colleagues uncomfortable. And I'm just fine with that. More questions, more squirming in their seats = greater transparency.

While it's great that Mr. Miller is returning, too bad WOWO can't bring back the other dozen or so people who lost their jobs, in part, due to Mr Henson's malfeasance. I know Mr. Miller's loyal audience will return, they can only hope that his loyal advertisers and their money will also follow.

Polls. I remember the Andy Downs poll that showed Mrs. Brown beating the living crap out of Paula Hughes for the mayoral primary. Political hacks pushing their polls. Publicity seekers extraordinaire.

The ruling elite can ridicule Mr. Mitchell to no end....but they have to remember what Mr. Mitchell represents. A frustrated, and somewhat disenfranchised citizen/taxpayer. He's frustrated that so much of the City's business is done in private, behind closed doors, with a wink and a handshake. Of course, that's how politics has always worked, and always will. While Mr. Mitchell may be an extreme case, he's not the only person who feels left out of the process and the City does what it can to hide facts, misrepresent figures, and work to otherwise bamboozle those that the ruling class view as speed bumps along the way to fulfilling their agendas. One only has to look at the lack of transparency in the Henry Administration. A perfect example being the decision to name the 9, 12, 14, 18, 22, 27 million dollar building "Citizen's Square". The name was decided months before the Vice Mayor had the brilliant idea to ask for ignorant citizens to submit naming ideas to an internet website to give those poor souls the impression that their voices were actually being heard and acted upon. Another example occurred when then Council President Bender proposed making meetings run smoother by quenching unnecessary citizen comment at meetings by severely limiting the time speakers could speak and instituting a verification process for speakers. The truth of the matter is, that the Indiana Open Meetings law does NOT require an elected body to open the floor to citizens......it merely guarantees that the meeting be open and that citizens may "observe and record the proceedings." Mr. Bender should have read the law. No speakers, no problem....and back home in time to watch Dancing With The Stars.
If one really wants to gauge the concern that bodies like City Council have for citizen input, one should watch and take note of the facial expressions and body language displayed by Council when the microphone is turned on and those ignorant taxpayers are allowed to address the supreme Council. Disinterested scowls might be a good description.
So, Mr. Mitchell may be off base on some of his assertions, but make no mistake, there are many more who share his feelings, but don't have the courage to face the High and Mighty as he did.

Some right-wing wise-ass should pay the registration and have some fun.....

Good for Carl. Probably the smartest and least politically conflicted man in the room. We need more Carls........

yup, just like Paul Moss calling his buddy the Sheriff Ken Fries....one set of rules for the ruling class, another set of rules for us poor bastards.

And I thought lawyers only screwed their clients. Bad PR boys. Wonder what else is going on in that shop.

I've always loved your words, especially when they come from your heart.
