An old Reddit post about DIRTY Dan Parker and his job as DPW honcho: “This is a man with no engineering or construction experience, who has demonstrated absolutely no competence. He’s a crony political appointment by Joe Hogsett.” Spot-on. Mayor Hognuts picked him because Dirt ran the IN Dem Party, period. He showed himself to be a liar and a crook, but due to feckless local news media and the feckless Shitty Council, laughed all the way to the bank. He should have gone to jail for his fraud, waste, and abuse in his moronic “down to the dirt” reconstruction of Delaware Street, right next to Shitty Hall mind you, where the klueless kouncil could have bothered to look and see what he was doing with our tax dollars, at least a million of which were squandered. That happened for no reason other than Dirty Dan wanted a brand-spanking new street, as if he had just arrived in a covered wagon and wanted to pave the swamp 200 years ago. In the process he tore out and sent to landfill umpteen thousands of beautiful massive granite street pavers which could have been valued at 5 or 10 dollars a pop. Then he doubled down before the public work committee, said that those granite pavers didn’t exist – none of the klueless kouncil bothered to go out and look – and that every street project would be done the same way. In perpetrating that scam he dragged a bunch of professional engineers down into the sewer with him, and they also violated laws and their professional standards. More recently, he sent Keystone Group an extortion letter demanding that they hand over their property at the former Diamond Chain site, weaponizing misinformation about Greenlawn Cemetery. Not that he was concerned about the latter, that was part of Boss Joe’s campaign to sabotage the Indy Eleven stadium project and foist his own stadium fantasy along with his fatcat cronies backing it. Bottom line, please let the swinging door whack your crooked behind on the way out, Parker.
Get out from behind your computer screen sometime and join the rest of us in reality.
Parker’s approach to representing the city in its negotiations with Rocky Ripple for their proposed levee was, at best, full of bad-faith misdirection and lots of bullying.
They promised that no homes would be taken; they were lying. They promised RR citizens would still have access to the river; they were lying.
We caught them and they stopped having any public interactions with RR’s citizenry.
“Is this reasonable and customary,” I inquired about the city’s inability to respond after nine months to a simple markup of the MOU they proposed for the project on the monthly Zoom call with RR government and citizens a few years ago when he was director of DPW.
“IS THIS BEING RECORDED!?!,” he shouted (it wasn’t; out town council president had forgotten to turn it on – sigh…).
DPW ceased all public discussion of the project and began only meeting each of the three RR Council members to discuss the project INDIVIDUALLY!
Be gone, gangster bully.
