Fishers (Oops I Mean...Fissures) Developing in gUO

The Indianapolis Star, Hamilton County section reported today that Fishers Town Attorney Doug Church was quoted as saying "People have approached us about agreements...". Obviously there is dissent in the ranks of the annexation areas. It was kinda funny how this quote was left out by the alleged "reporter" who wrote the news brief for atgeist.joke. I wouldn't expect any less from the Reichsminister for Propaganda. It really makes me wonder why the folks of geist are allowing him to be their voice. He is not even a Hamilton County resident, thus not directly affected by the annexation. He really is only in it to increase controversey getting the hit counts (like TV Nielson ratings) on his web site up which will allow him to charge more for advertising. The only other reason could be that he and his cronies in the HOAs are desperately trying to keep their choke-hold on the area.

People in geist need to start getting smart about what is really going on here.

Since Tim Lima resigned from the Fishers town council, can GUO spin that item as being a break in their resolve? ;-)

I actually thought about that. Lima got on the council in the first place by leading an opposition very much like the gUOs (The Metro Airport cross-wind runway project). I'm not real connected to the political party situation but it is kind of ironic that the county Republicans will now appoint his successor. The gUO didn't burn that bridge but they certainly set it on fire.

Maybe the irate phone calls and the covert investigations got to him enough to make him want to cut and run to hurricane alley...

Nah- GUO didn't have anything to do with this. I was kidding entirely.

Mr. Lima was one of the Councilors I really liked. He seemed to have his priorities in order on taxes. He was smart enough to not become part of the public dialogue on the issue of forced annexation, so I doubt he was the focus of too many irate messages on it.

Now, to run with your fire analogy, maybe Mr. Lima just sensed the right time to jump from the burning ship. :-)

Of course he had his priorities in order. He voted in favor of the annexation. Now the GOP leadership will have the opportunity to add a new counselor who is also favorable towards it. With geist protesting them and threatening to withdraw their support from the party, what do they have to lose?
