Some of my personal views.

I think its time to explain where I personally stand on some points that I have put on here as comments.

Gay marriage:
I believe that we the people should have the right to vote on issues that concerns us and the way we live. To have a body that will not let the citizens who elected them vote our opinions by holding up any bill year after year to silent the voters is unbelievable. The people seem to want to vote on public and school projects but when it comes to issues like gay marriage, these same people will not endorse your right to vote. Even to the fact that it’s against Indiana law today that two people can not get married unless they are one man and one woman. I am for the vote of the people on every issue that we can vote on. If you are for it, work in that direction, if you are against it, and then work to defeat it.

Crime:
When you do the crime you should be accountable and pay the price. When a person is sentence to twenty years and only serve 5 of that sentence it makes a joke out of our criminal system. Why not sentence that person to ten years and see that he or she serves that time. In talking this point to Councilor Brown his only comment was “everyone gets out of jail sometime” Well, I for one have had enough of baby killings in this town. Its time to see that these people, usually ex-offenders that do most of the crime in this city stand up and be made to take responsibility for their actions. I am for giving those same ex-offenders a chance in Indianapolis with jobs and education. But as we know you can not make someone work or learn. I am in hope that we will see more crime enforcement in this town. We have waited too long for drug sweeps and prostitution crack down in our city. Did you know that there are 25,000 active warrants in this city? What a joke. Did you know that we have one hundred and fifty six unsolved murders on the book dating back to the year of 2000? Here is the list: http://www.indygov.org/eGov/IMPD/Enforcement/Investigations/Homicide/home.htm

Mayor Ballard:
I think our new Mayor is heading in the right direction for the city of Indianapolis. I see nothing wrong with the appointments he has made so far as long as they keep a close watch on conflict of interest. He has only been Mayor now for forty one days and has many issues to deal with from the former administration. Given time I think he will do the right thing for the taxpayers
