So…does this mean we can share revenue with Ohio’s Casino Royale, because Tom said we would do that with Angola? Is that what the whole Indiana business thing is about??OOps, I forgot…he’s the Mayor of Fort Wayne, not Allen County, or… not Indiana, or…..not the Midwest. Maybe there’s a misunderstanding here….I’m soo confused!

Well, DBP, that would certainly save strain on the moral backbone. I notice that Tom, who once said he was neutral on gambling has become a convert and is happy that Toledo will soon have Casino Royale along their sad water front. Tom is a better man than he has seemed over these past 11 months, I think. He just doesn’t seem to understand how many people are paying attention and that most of them can put two and two together.

Thanks, Jim for a “meaty” update. You save me so much time in not having to watch the meetings.
I would touch on one point about the Buy Evansville, er Buy Indiana ordinance. Perhaps the ordinance should be revised to restrict purchases to only products manufactured in Indiana, more specifically to products or services offered only by companies where Mayor Tom’s relatives or close friends, or Tim Pape’s law partners, have an equity interest. Then there would be no clamor about that pesky “transparency” argument, as it would be rendered moot. With this strategy, we voters/taxpayers could rest assured that corruption, or at least the appearance of such, is alive and well at City Hall, and we, the great unwashed and ignorant citizens, can refrain from “bothering” our City Council members with those blasted pain-in-the-ass emails that Council members complained, ad nauseum, about during the Calhoun Street Massacre.
