Yesterday, Jim Banks, Republican candidate for Indiana Senate District 17 ran into Win Moses. Moses told Jim, he is “dear friends” with his opponent and “supports him”. He was referring to Huntington County Councilman Tom Wall.
Recently in Huntington, a dog attacked some high school cross country runners, biting them in the process. The dog is owned by grounds keeper for Huntington University. Cross country runners, coaches and parents had been complaining to the local animal control officer for some time.
The dog owner is related to a county council member, who calls Tom Wall to tell him to back the animal control officer off of the case. Commissioner Wall calls animal control officer to tell her not to do anything, even though state codes says animal must be quarantined. The animal control office knew what she was being order to do was illegal, so she called the sheriff dispatch to put on the record that Commissioner Wall told her not to do what she was legally supposed to do. Wall has refused to talk to any reporter about it.
Wall also opposes property tax caps.
No wonder Win Moses is supporting him.
Support Jim Banks, go here to send him a few bucks.
Below are some of the comments from Jim Bank’s FaceBook page. Mark Souder, Tom Wyss and Paula Hughes have even chimed in.
Jim Banks Win Moses just told me he is “dear friends” with my opponent and “supports him”.

Dnc Christian Heritier And since when did Win Moses have any viability politically anyway? Didn’t he run the City of Fort Wayne almost into bankruptcy during his tenure as Mayor?

Bill Konyha Everyone has a constitutional right to make very bad choices due to misplaced loyalties. We should celebrate this exercise of our individual rights even as we work to educate others and encourage them not to make a mockery of the rights guaranteed by the constitution.

Jaylaw Jones Consider that a compliment and be grateful. I may have only been a kid when he was in office, but I remember the corruption and graft quite well.

David Lefever Right – I will commit to you that I am a dear friend of yours! I think that will make a big impact in my neighborhood.
Yesterday at 8:34pm
Paula Hughes It says more about Win’s complete lack of tact or manners than anything about you, Jim. What a buffoon he is.
Yesterday at 8:42pm
Steve Dalton i don’t know ft wayne politics as well as you guys, but I don’t remember Win having much stroke left when he was done running the city. Didn’t he leave things in a mess?
Yesterday at 8:47pm
Chris Hughes Funny I support anyone who opposes Win and it doesn’t need to be a “dear friend”.
Yesterday at 8:49pm
Richard Dolsen Big deal.
Yesterday at 9:13pm
Mark Krider Nobody wins with Win! You dont need him in your corner

Jim Mc Coy another good reason to vote for you. maybe the best.
Yesterday at 10:00pm
Steve Dalton Is anyone running against Win for his seat, any conservatives?
Yesterday at 10:16pm
Kyle Babcock GOP can beat Moses with a good candidate. Let’s find a good candidate Ft.Wayne GOP!
Yesterday at 10:22pm
Roy Sexton ah, phooey on him!
Yesterday at 11:08pm
Jennifer Warf This is hysterical. Having Win Moses in the opposing corner could spell instant victory for you for sure. Goodness! I grew up in Fort Wayne and do not have much respect for the man at all. Not only do I question his political beliefs, but I have some serious doubts about his baseline honesty and integrity as a human. A comment like this one could just seal the deal for you. Not that there was a question of doubt to begin with. You are awesome Jim!
Yesterday at 11:38pm
Wayne Warf That’s funny, Jimbo, Win Moses’ opponent is a dear friend of mine and I support him or her, whoever it might turn out to be. It’s about time to take out the trash in Ft Wayne.

Good stuff as always. Having Win Moses as an opponent is better than having his support.
Win Moses – convicted during the 1980′s and had to step down from the mayor’s office, only to be selected in a caucus to resume his position. It was a gala celebration party at his Westover Rd home. Now he lives in Indy and maintains a legal residence in FTW to keep his state rep position. Truly, only a man that a democrat could love.
