Frankly, I'm ticked off that some people in the Fort Wayne community that think they have some given right to abuse our system of government.
Aalco Distributor Company is the local beer distributor that has exclusive rights to sale certain brands of beer in this area. If you want, say Budwiser you will by it from Aalco. Period! No discussion or debate!
Ms. Deb Niezer is the Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer of Aalco Distributor here in Fort Wayne. She has held this position for some period of time.
Mr. Barney Niezer is the husband to Deb. His full time employment is with Parkview Hospital. He also serves on the Fort Wayne Plan Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals. He voted on numerous issues regarding the Harrison Square Project. All supporting the Mayor's position!
Mr. Niezer knew, or should have known, that Aalco would be the exclusive supplier of beer to the new ballpark if Hardball wants a selected brand. In fact, White Lodging has to purchase their Budwiser from Aalco. This also applies to select wines. They have no option under Indiana law! This formed Mr. Niezer's conflcit of interest.

The Niezer's own political donations show they have supported the current Mayor. This is totally legal and the donations are not questioned. The only thing of note, is that the chances are very good they will support the Mayor and his policies.
Aalco Distributors just inked a deal with Hardball Capitol that they would rent one of the suites at the new ballpark for several years to come. One has to wonder, would they have done that if a non Aalco beer was going to be sold?
Mr. Niezer has failed the citizens of Fort Wayne. I cannot say he broke the law but if he did not, then he seriously bruised it. My guess is he did!
What is sad, Mr. Niezer has now had his character questioned because of actions he took. Then again, his wife will be packing the dollar bills into the cash register!
On opening night go to the concession stand and buy yourself a $5 to $6 beer. Then, as you make your way back to the cheap seats glance up to the Aalco Suite. Give the Niezers a wave! They will wave and smile back as they know they just made a buck out of your pocket. Keep in mind, "IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!"

Great observation. Barney has had several votes, perhaps hundreds that he should have recused himself from over the years.
OPENING NIGHT BEER PRICE WAS $1.00 NOT $5.00 OR $6.00 . THE BILL WAS PASSED MANY YEARS AGO TO GIVE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO BEER DISTRIBUTORS , SAME AS THE LOCAL COLA DISTRIBUTORS. WHAT KEEPS THE BEER PRICES COMPETITIVE IS THE COMPETITION BETWEEN MILLER,COORS AND BUD. THE TARGET OF YOUR RANT WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH AALCO DISTRIBUTORS WHEN THE BILL PASSED TO GIVE DISTRIBUTORS EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FOR CERTAIN TERRITORIES. I AM SURE AALCO WAS COMPETITIVE WITH THE OTHER BEER DISTRIBUTORS FOR THE PARVIEW FIELD CONTRACT.WHO CARES IF THEY HAVE A SUITE AT THE NEW FIELD, THATS GOOD BUSINESS. DO YOU THINK COKE OR PEPSI HAS A SUITE IN PARKS AROUND THE COUNTRY THEY DONT HAVE CONTRACTS WITH? ANY COMMENT ON HOW PEPSI OR COKE GOT THE CONTRACT FOR PARKVIEW FIELD, DID THEY HAVE A INSIDE GUY ALSO. WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT BEER WE DRINK OR WHAT BRAND OF HOT DOG WE EAT AND ON WHAT BUN. GO TO THE GAME AND HAVE FUN!!
