  1. While working for an architectural firm, we did some work there 10 or 15 years ago. It is an “interesting” building. It has its good points but is built like a block house and would need some extensive “reworking” to make it viable for anything beyond a “government” type building. They say you can’t put lipstick on a pig and I am not saying this is a “pig” but it is a very difficult property to work with unless you have some pretty extensive financial recourses to put into it.

  2. Never under estimate the way Township Trustees conduct the taxpayer’s business like its their own family business. Remember back when Gov. Daniels tried unsuccessfully to eliminate Trustees offices? Follow the money/nepotism.

    1. Indeed. The Keenan-Shepherd Report of 2007 recommended 27 ways to streamline government in Indiana, including eliminating township government. Counties could easily absorb the few duties that trustees still have. This is the last bastion of local nepotistic government, it’s a waste and it’s time for it to go. The same can be said for the township small claims courts in Marion County, which is the only county where they still exist.
