5 thoughts on “Jim Brainard looks back on 28 years as Carmel mayor

  1. He took credit for Parks expansion when Parks belong to the township not the City of Carmel. What does this tell you about the Man? He lies about things to make himself look good. Let’s see what comes to light after he leaves office.

  2. I’ve had a front-row seat for just about all of Mayor Brainard’s time in office, having moved to Carmel just after he was first elected. The transformation of the city and the innovations and enhancements to the quality of life during these years is nothing short of historic. The man is first-class and he is a genius. It’s OK to criticize him, but you can’t detract from the amazing things he has accomplished. I am not sure there a precedent. Thank you, Jim, and God bless you in your future dreaming!
