  1. Horrible Emily Styron knows she’s toast, so there’s no reason for her to reply.

    And, yes, “Boss” Hogsett would do all of central Indiana a favor if he would retire.

    1. Hey Bob, your 2000 Mules book is being pulled by the publisher because of multiple inaccuracies. Keep drinking that fake MAGA Kool aid.

    2. Hogsett is not a northern suburban mayor.

      And the GOP is not close to winning a county wide race any time soon, particularly in the age of Donald Trump.

  2. We’d do better if they all quit (Brainard should go to jail for steering work to indicted Aria Diagnostics) and were replaced by a random person’s name drawn from a hat.

    1. Paul, Lawrence is most definitely a northern suburb. It’s just not in Hamilton or Boone County.

      And the article specifically mentions the mayors of Greenfield, Shelbyville, and Franklin…none of which are as big as Lawrence (which has a population of about 50,000).

  3. The assumption should be yes the northern burb mayors are going to run — each has so much in their corporate funded reelection campaign chests that they couldn’t afford to not run and represent the companies that have bought and paid for their services. How else are we going to get 5 over 1 buildings on every corner, mega unnecessary road-construction done by 2 or 3 ‘bidders’, all the pizza one could consume, and of course–lots and lots of chain stores with extremely large signs to illuminate the night sky….
    We’re stuck between generica and a boring place with this lot…

    1. Agreed, except Cook has stopped taking money and instead allowed all those funds to go to “independent” (from being a puppet of the funders) Scott Willis.

  4. Change is often good. Administrations need more than one term to get major objectives accomplished. Additional terms can be good, as momentum can be capitalized on or it can be bad as power may be abused. Politics is a crap shoot…but it appears change may be good in a few communities.

  5. One of the reasons not mentioned in the article is that the Republican mayors of Fishers, Westfield and Carmel know that the general election is no longer a cakewalk. Democrats have won city council seats in Hamilton County in the last municipal election and they continue to improve their baseline every election, a trend that has accelerated during the era of Donald Trump. In 2019, Demos had about a 45 or 46% baseline in Fishers, Westfield and Carmel. (Zionsville actually elected a Democrat Mayor.) If they can find a strong, fiscally-conservative Democrat to run, they can win. Given the big-spending, big-borrowing ways of the mayors of those three cities, there is a significant percentage of Republicans who would gladly cross over to vote for a more fiscally conservative candidate, even if it is a Democrat.

    1. When you are able to find a fiscally conservative Democrat who will run and can get a nomination, please let us all know.

      Or a socially liberal Republican.

      The extreme wings of both parties prevent the nomination of centrists who would appeal to crossover voters.

    2. Has nothing to do with Trump. Carmel has been attracting Dems from Chicago area and the coasts for years. Jim has always been a closet Democrat. He gets his name in articles for being the “Republican” with Dem ideas.
