House Democrats walking out

by

I was amused when I saw that the Wisconsin State Senate Democrats were hiding in Illinois.  Their new moniker as the FLEE Party was funny.  Now I am ashamed to see that our Indiana State Representatives, including our local District 17 Representative, Nancy Dembowski, are doing the same.  If you’re as embarrassed by her method of representing us as I am, please take the time to send her a note here:  h17@in.gov

This is poor government, poor sportsmanship and just plain poor leadership.  I received an email from the Indianapolis TEA Party that has a lot of interesting links if you want to follow up with them.  You can see the email here.  They are not only taking on the missing Democrats, but also the Governor and the Republican led Senate, asking for better leadership from our representative government.  I don’t think this is an unreasonable request.

There is a billboard at the corner of S.R. 8 & S.R. 17 that I pass every day on the way to work.  It has Nancy Dembowski’s smiling face telling me she’s my Representative.  If that’s the case, why is she hiding in Illinois?

South Side Update

Tuesday night was the regular meeting of the Culver Plan Commission.   The only agenda item was a replatting of the Rhodes property, combining several lots into one.  This passed with little question. 

Under “Public Input”, John Zehner presented his plans to change the use of the Ten Spot to a restaurant and motel.  The presentation wasn’t required, but was more of a courtesy, keeping the Plan Commission apprised of the change in use.  The Plan Commission also supported this proposal.

I took the opportunity to plant some seeds regarding the development on the south side of Culver, basically outlining the thoughts I had previously presented here.  I was pleased that the Plan Commission was fairly receptive.  They agreed to consider most of what I suggested.  I truly think this is an opportunity for the Town to get out in front of some issues and encourage the type of development they would like to see.  They are considering forming a subcommittee to look into this with the idea that the subcommittee would try and form community partnerships and foster buy-in.  All in all a very positive evening!

I don’t know if I would have passed this test or not.  I got distracted and didn’t finish it.  <rim shot>  Anyway…  I ran across this test in Bottom Line Personal, February 15, 2011.  I actually scored a four, so  I guess I’m borderline.   Not something that comes as a surprise to me!  If you’re still reading and haven’t clicked on to the next site, you might want to take the test.
