Drew KlacikEvery day, we get more bad economic news. While I'm not smart enough to know when the global economy will rebound or how strong
the rebound will be, I do believe central Indiana and the Midwest are well-positioned to lead the recovery.

Facts are you post an email to a city official, you've zero indication as to her response, paint her as corrupt, despite not giving ANY context to what she may have respoded, blame Adam Thies for a problem that was created by Olgen Williams' placement of this dude into this role, and act like you're some sort of authority because your mom didn't get a property she wanted? These seem more like wildly out of control, baseless accusations than facts to me, but apparently you know better than anyone else, including the FBI, so we should be heeding your drivel? Whatever color anyone involved is, you can color me unconvinced that you have any idea what you're talking about.
