This article shows you the mismanagement by Mayor Brainard , Mayor Finkum, & Council members Ayers, Hannon and Minnar as committee members. County Council member Griffin is also involved in this fiasco. Things identified with money handling by this non profit hinges on criminal.
And people act like DOGE is making up the waste and fraud they are finding at the Federal level… Bigger $$$$, Bigger Fraud and Waste.
If you are looking for the most waste and fraud in the Federal government, the Department of Defense is the #1 gold mine but apparently not the #1 priority.
There is a big difference between this and DOGE, here there is proof where DOGE has yet to present anything that is even close to proof other than HUGE claims of fraud that have yet to be shown. Still waiting for them to show those millions of dead people receiving Social Security.
So $0.33 per person? Got it.
haha, yes. More than half the cost of a stamp.
i heard about this months ago. When I asked for clarity on how the non-profit was setup and used to pay for items the City Budget could not, I learned that it was not uncommon for cities to do it this way, but operating at a loss was not common for the store. As to why Sue McFeely was traveling so much on the city dime should be looked into. I’d be interested to know how much debt the All Things Carmel store had before it was handed over to McFeely, because prior to McFeely, it was a mess, but improved greatly after.
When will we did into the Christkindl market CEO and her husbands absorbent salaries and travel? The taxpayers are footing that as well.
The Carmel Republicans blew this one. They needed to borrow a play from Trump and just have the not-for-profit declare bankruptcy and stiff all of the vendors. After all who cares about the little guy and the small businessman?
All Things Carmel and the non-profit0 behind it were there to promote the City of Carmel. This is not unusual for many cities and the benefit/loss is not just financial. What is the value of the store in Carmel? I don’t know but there is some. I am sure the loss would be less if the store closing had been more orderly and inventory could have been sold off. At $0.33/person in Carmel, that is peanuts and could have been less, not counting the added value of promoting the City.
How much are Indiana and Hamilton County spending of taxpayer dollars on their own tourism boards? Are those folly too?
30 grand??!! The humanity!!! Thanks IBJ and midwit commenters for a good laugh this morning. “the mismanagement by Mayor Brainard , Mayor Finkum, & Council members…. Republicans EVIL!!” Meanwhile Carmel continues to be the #1 most desirable place to live and raise a family in the state – maybe the tri-state area. Yes you are right, don’t move here or patronize any establishments in Hamilton county. Enjoy your corruption free, beautiful utopia of the democrat run Indianapolis.
In the absence of a substantive argument, some resort to whataboutism—a tactic drawn from an all-too-familiar playbook. The Carmel administration, along with its current leadership, is coasting on the accumulated political and infrastructural capital of its predecessors. Look around: in what ways is Carmel not gradually becoming indistinguishable from any other small city, replete with the typical challenges and shortcomings?
Tip of the iceberg. Funny how people try to blow this off as some per person cost.
