Is City Council Ready To Use Rubber Stamp Again???

Tuesday evening will prove if our City Council RUBBER STAMPS one more Harrison Square agreement. The Council, on behalf of all voters, has the chance to tell the Mayor and his staff that the state has raised some very serious legal issues concerning Harrison Square. Until such issues are cleared up, they are not prepared to approve any more agreements regarding Harrison Square.

The city will attempt to offer their standard line, "If this does not get approved tonight, then we will be faced with possible higher costs for interest and materials!" If I was setting on council I would say, "You should have thought of this before you did what you did! The only person to blame is yourself!"

The actions of some people within local government may have violated Indiana law regarding the statues on CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. The only way to find out is if Allen County Prosecuting Attorney Karen Richards investigates this mess. Sadly, it will not be a short investigation as there are dozens of people that will need to provide statements and mountains of paperwork to be reviewed. In fairness, Richards will need to use a Special Prosecutor and the Indiana State Police to avoid any appearance of local political influence.

The City has known for well over two months the state took issue with these legal matters. Yet, the City failed publicly to disclose them or offer a plan to correct them.
