PASTRICK STILL WELCOME IN DEM PARTY:
Bob Pastrick left the East Chicago mayor’s office following defeat in a 2004 special election prompted by rampant absentee ballot fraud in the regular contest a year earlier (Guinane, Times of Northwest Indiana). His last successful re-election, in 1999, later was tainted by the unearthing of a massive sidewalks-for-votes scandal that snared a trio of top aides and three city councilmen.

Despite his considerable political baggage, the 33-year mayor continues to serve as one of three Hoosiers on the Democratic National Committee. The prime post, which Pastrick has held for more than three decades, makes him a member of the exclusive club of 13 Indiana superdelegates. “We think a lot of Bob Pastrick,” said Bonnie Reese, a Wheatfield Democrat, who serves as 1st District chairwoman of the party’s State Central Committee.
State Democrats have no plans to push Pastrick, 80, toward political retirement, even though the longtime mayor is at the center of a civil racketeering lawsuit seeking to recover more than $24 million in public money diverted to a paving spree that preceded his last re-election victory

Zoeller, Carter’s chief deputy, has vowed to carry out the lawsuit. [Linda] Pence, who represented a paving firm that paid $625,000 to settle claims it colluded with city officials, has said she doesn’t know enough about the case to make such a commitment.
Has anyone heard how much was raised at Pence shindig with Jack Abramoff’s boys?

The amount raised is irrelevant. She has been paid to do work by the state in the past, then she attacks people for doing the same thing. She misleads people about her involvement in corruption lawsuits. She was a democrat hack and brought down a law firm because of her inability to run an office (check your sources on that one it will start being discussed). She raises money in ways like this. The amount she raises is irrelevant, like what comes out of her mouth.
