That is why so much suspicion has been cast on this deal. Nepotism, or the appearance of it, is an old crime in government. Those in power give sweetheart deals to their family, or their cronies, cronyism. The cost is usually higher to the public. So, when the deck seems stacked in favor of insiders there is always the question of fairness. This deal was not fairly and openly bid. The question remains whether the company which provided the "winning bid would be able to pull of their part of the bargain. Agreed, Fan, it is our money.

Geeze, I wish you guys could get your stories straight! No matter if the mayor's brother is involved or not- it's about the money people!

He's a local businessman and investor. He is trying to make a profit by picking the right company, just like any other businessman. "You people" always make assumptions too quickly Jerry Henry is not just the mayor’s brother! He’s a local businessman and investor.

“You people” always make assumptions too quickly

They can't figure out how to balance their budget, they plan to cut services to make ends meet, they want to give their employees and themselves a pay raise, they squandered a million plus on Calhoun Street, they have a secret deal to give a million taxpayer dollars to the new hotel downtown, they cover up their efforts to bring a casino to Fort Wayne, and now they want to give the garbage contract to the mayor's brother (an honorable guy, but a lame move)...it is like the Ted Mack Amateur Hour at City Hall.

I see nothing here that could be bad.
