Mr. M. would never use this paper to his financial benefit, plus he is to busy bashing Emmis and Simon when he can.
This is OLD news, unless upcoming investigations by Durham land something with Brizzi involved with these transactions.
What is most uncomfortable is a public servant who cuts deals to benefit himself, he is brazen in that regard, too open and in many cases reckless. BTY, he used to use National Bank of Indianapolis alot, so I doubt Mr. M is too upset
How new are they? He has won three times at the ballot box, so evidently less than 50% of those who vote dont think he has done much wrong.
Also, these stories with no attributable quotes to the main people involved at typical IBJ reporting. At a minimum how does the reporter not interview another high profile Commercial Real Estate broker (Paul Dick, Bill French, John Crisp, etc) and get their opinion on the fairness of these deals between the City of Indy and Bales?
Poor reporting.
Mike, are you kidding me? Do you really think Bales has done nothing wrong? So do you think the driver of a get away car isn't doing anything wrong because he didn't commit the bank robbery?
How do you think Brizzi got all that money to enter into investment deals with Bales? Bales was clearly buying influence...cutting deals and kicking money back to Brizzi in the form of of investments. Do you think that is legal?
Again, two prime examples of why there should be a multi-year "cooling off" period before public employees can go work at for-profit companies soliciting and lobbying the same employers where they just worked.
Is the IBJ determined to kill Bales' career? I mean, he has done nothing wrong and continues to get slammed on here. This is very upsetting to see. Is Maurer trying to help his son's company out or something? Seriously, wtf?
