"Republican mayoral nominee Matt Kelty disagreed with Henry’s plan and said there is no need to create another committee to help economic development. He said the different groups serve different goals, and they would be better served to coordinate with the Alliance.
Where it makes sense, Kelty said other groups should move into or next to the Alliance’s office to help build relationships. He also said he would support providing more resources to the Alliance for economic development specialists."
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh. OK

Tom Henry could make a public statement about how "2+2+4" and Kelty would disagree with it.
Whoops, I just pulled a Kelty. Let me file an "addendum" to my last post and say that my equation was actually supposed to be 2+2=4.
Wow. Great leadership. Move into the same office. Great idea, Matty
Is Matt related to Miss Teen South Carolina?
"From AWB on 11/17/2006 on Matt Kelty:
You have as much a chance of winning as David Roach. Throw your support towards Peters, or join the Libertarian party. Mike could use someone with your qualifications.
P.S. You have too many pages on your web site under construction."
I am no fan of Matt Kelty's but in this case he has actually stumbled upon the truth. Henry's call for yet another committee isn't worth the breath he wasted announcing it. The Alliance was created to be the entity to coordinate economic development efforts and be the "go to" agency for those efforts. But Tom Henry really thinks we need another layer of bureaucracy - another committee to go along with the river committee and the light lease fund committee?
Henry is going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory if he doesn't start at least acting like he wants to become mayor. I don't know of too many voters who are going to be excited about a mayor who calls for committees and study groups every other week.
I'm guessing the committee appointments will include Neumeister and Hawks???
it seems the crux of the problem is we have dozens of economic development agencies, and hundreds of economic development specialists- all well paid by tax monies, with commensurate perks, privileges, and benefits.
And they have been in business for years. So therefore- there should be well-paid jobs for everybody-
We should be the economic development center of Indiana- with hundreds of great paying jobs in the paper, and the job boards to be had for all. We should be having hundreds of new citizens migrating here weekly to be hired for these great paying jobs. Our average median incomes should all be $100,000 due to the efforts of all these taxpayer paid "economic development specialists.
you would think. right?
so where are all the jobs? wheres all the economic development prosperity? private sector, or course?
How about a few Vegas style hotels/gambling casinos? theres the cure for high property taxes.
Or we could petition MMM (My Man Mitch) to change the states name by dropping the last letters- "na". Now we're "India". Every corporation, and callcenter, and engineering firm will now be locating here. simple? right!
giggle!!
btw- McDonalds is hiring...
