Who is going to run the IMP

Coming up on January 30th will be the committee meeting on the proposal on putting the police department back under the control of the Mayor. Sheriff Anderson is still trying to get you to believe that the people of this city elected him to run our police department.
This nothing more then a political game and power struggle within the democrats and the republican party.

Ballard is right, all public safety must be under one leadership and control. One person must be in charge and direct the departments within public safety. When you have different departments under public safety with different leaders, who is in charge and who is accountable?

The police personal have said it wants to be put back under the Mayor's office. The Citizens of this city wants the new Mayor to be accountable for public safety. Greg Ballard made this one of his main issue of his campaing. As my personal oppenion goes, we had that referendom vote back in November of 2007 when we elected our new Mayor.

If you are tired of this political game and power struggle I urge you to let the city council know about your feelings. Show up at the public safety meeting January 30. I believe it will start at 5:30. Also show up at the city council meeting February 11.

Its time for both parties to put politics aside and do what is best for Indianapolis as a great city that it is.
