This blog is about facts - not political gain or corporate bashing just for bashings sake.  It is about the facts and where our money is going.  To that end, we are doing some extensive research on our next blog posts.  Here's what is in the works: Our tax dollars go to many private companies who contract with the state for a variety of services - janitorial being one of them.  What kind of jobs

Unfortunately, we didn’t know about the February 17th committee hearing on Proposal 35 before the City County Council. Fortunately, they opened the floor to public comment on Monday night, but it was pretty clear that all minds had been made up ahead of time. The Council voted 23-4 in favor of the proposal that allocated $5 million of tax payer clawback money from Raytheon to Indiana

As a follow up to our first post, the City County Council meets tonight to hear about the Navistar tax abatement claw backs.  We missed the committee meeting, so who knows if there will be an opportunity for public input, but please turn out if you can, or call you Council representative at 327-4242.  See more about this issue on another local blog.  The City County Council meets tonight at 7:00

In a casual conversation in a neighborhood on the city's southeast side, the question, "Where's the Money?" was stated quite a bit.  Then today, it was stated one too many times and drove us to start making public statements (a blog).  A few people in Indianapolis and a few more in Indiana make deals with corporations every day that harm the residents.  This blog will identify those deals as we
