FROST ILLUSTRATED SURVEY REPLY
click on this photo 2x, for maximum magnification
photo- Chicago- my second hometown.Wells Street Bridge in background. !!!
chicago river/ lower wacker. in front of me- merchandise mart.
i'D LIKE TO THANK ALL MY FRIENDS AT FROST ILLUSTRATED, FOR ALL THE KIND WORDS, AND FAIRNESS, AND DECENCY, AND JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY THEY HAVE TREATED ME WITH, THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. i AM TRULY GRATEFUL. i MAY BE THE VILLAGE IDIOT SAVANT, AND HAVE PERHAPS DONE SOME NOT-SO-WISE THINGS IN MY LIFE, BUT i HAVE GON E ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL TO MAKE THING RIGHT WITH MY FELLOW "BROTHERS, AND SISTERS" IN POVERTY, AND CITIZENSHIP IN OUR HOMETOWN.
I only see the world on 2 colors- green, and gold. we all need money, and have aspirations, and dreams, and hopes and desires, and it takes "green" and "gold" to make it happen. I dont pretend to know of the struggles of my fellow friends at the other side of town, so i just say what do you need done, and try to give the resources necessary- if I was Mayor,or in a position to do so, i would. I hate being poor. TOO!
For far too long, both parties have taken your votes for granted, and then failed to take care of business. I Have some ideas of what works, what doesnt, and for sure what are dubious schemes concocted to line the pockets of special interests, etc.
I've been playing this game MY WAY, for so long, that i kinda dont care, but i truly do, because if I ever get inside the machine, god help the crooked, because they are Toast, I swear. I havent sold my soul to special interests, narrow-minded bigots, and people who profit off business as usual.
Anyway, thank you again, to FROST ILLUSTRATED. THE LONGEST PUBLISHING MEMBER OF THE LOCAL BLACK PRESS. And for all the journalistic fairness, and integrity you folks have practiced, for equality for all. (UNLIKE THE LOCAL DAILY TABLOID MAINSTREAM MEDIA, ON MAIN STREET, AND "THE ARISTOCRATS familY, editors, publishers, and biased tabloid reporters) ( who we know who they are) google "The Aristocrats" ( gilbert gottfried) and you will get some idea of the low esteem i hold the inskeeps in. and the rest of "the usual suspects".. have a laugh at their expense, they deserve it..
FROST ILLUSTRATED
PRIMARY ELECTION SURVEY
OFFICE:
FORT WAYNE MAYOR
YOUR NAME AS IT APPEARS ON THE BALLOT:
D.C. (MR.ROACHCLIP) ROACH
POLITICAL AFFILIATION:
democrat
EDUCATION AND/OR BACKGROUND EXPERIENCE:
http://dcroach.blogspot.com
DESCRIBE THE PRIMARY DUTIES OF YOUR OFFICE:
CEO Fort Wayne City Civil Government. Advocate for the citizens ideas at all levels of local/state/federal governments. An excellent Soapbox to speak for positive change. To listen to all my fellow family, friends,neighbors, residents, citizens, taxpayers, and to find comon ground through effective market research/internet technology , to implement the collective will of all of us.
WHAT UNIQUELY QUALIFIES YOU TO FOR THIS OFFICE?
see compiliation of recent political activites/background/ education, ideas, etc:
http://roach4mayor.blogspot.com/2011/04/reeferendum-roach4mayor.html
If Charlie Sheen, , Donald Trump, and the usual assortment of actors, clowns, buffoons, tea-party types, etc can be seriously be considered qualified for President/Vice President, etc, then I surely should be able to be Mayor of my beloved dysfunctional Hometown. If Sarah Palin Didnt run Alaska into the ground, as Governor of a state with roughly the population of Allen County, then theres hardly any damage I could do worse than the previous 4 or 5 administrations or so. surely anything different is raising the bar? And dont call me Shirley.
I have never thought inside the box. I am a non-conformist/creative innovator; and entirely non-traditional, pragmatic politician. Whatever works, do it. See what other cities are doing that works- copy them. Fix whats broke. Whatever the citizens are willing to pay for, give them what they want. customer service. I have no Agenda. I'm a merely a mirror. the collective consciousness of all our friends, neighbors, citizens, residents, taxpayers is most assuredly more accurate than the stubborn dogma of one man in one high office. Democracy works...for all of us.
WHAT IS YOUR MAIN PRIORITY FOR THIS OFFICE:
To Advocate for the Legalization of recreational Marijuana, like in California; and to use the assuredly tabloid media/ late night tv entertainment "Machine" to put fort Wayne "on the map", as a cool place to come party, live, AND raise a family. First- do no harm. Dont waste my/our tax money on stupid things. To prove that social liberalism is good for business. To not screw up things worse than they already are. This should bring good well-paying creative class jobs to the city, and slow the brain drain exodus of our 18-34 young people who we need to keep all OUR HOMETOWN growing.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO IMPROVE THE FUNCTION OF THIS OFFICE?
where to start?.I cant do worse... Total on-line transparency of all public records to the greatest extent possible, especially our Police Department. They work for us, and the city govt works for us. theres no reason why simple requests should need to be FOIA/ Indiana open records requests. a simple short paragraph of what you want , and to sign for it, to show compliance. that would go a long way towards empowering citizens.
I would Fire the Police chief, and retire as much of the Command Staff as possible, and make sure they meet minimum health fitness requirements. I am personally aware of many abuses of police power/corruption/ harassment, and they all need to go. I would replace them with as many high ranking, retired/ reserve/guard military veterans as possible, so as to put their valuable skills, and military experiences to use.
Ditto for the Fire Chief, and all other "cabinet level" positions. I want my own people in these highly visible jobs, and will cut all ties with the cronyism, nepotism, and business as usual past.
I am compiling a list of who would stay, and who would be replaced, and who i would hire/appoint, based on my long time residency here in my hometown, and who is competent, and who isnt. And diversity would be paramount.
I would seriously reform neighborhood code, and the Alliance, and most other departments that arent working as they should or are to be blunt, pissing off too many citizens, due to bureaucratic rigidity, or stupidity, or corruption.
I would buy an armored Hummer for post 9-1-1 safety /security protection of the Mayor. You wouldnt ask the president, or the governor to drive an unprotected vehicle, in light of many incidences of domestic terrorism against public officials, would you? A kidnapping, or assassination would be assuredly embarassing to the city.
I would also have a security detail/bodyguard attachment of former Navy Seals, or such to provide additional security. You can never be too careful these days, and its a small price to pay for piece of mind.
In short, I have been carefully observing, and gethering intelligence on the way things are don in this city, reading the budgets, diligently watching city council proceedings, and so on, for 20 years, I know what needs done, and what need fixed, and i'm going to do it, nomatter what. the citizens deserve better, and what we've been doing isnt working. where are all the jobs? Indiana has lost 1 entire congressional district, and i will do all i can to amek sure its not fort Waynes fault.
And I most assuredly wont pursue any stupid schemes to blow the legacy trust find money on stupid neo-conservative privatizineg, ignorant tea-party BS. the money will stay in the bank, or be highly collateralized, so it isnt wasted.
Sell off/lease the waterworks/ sewer plant? over my dead body. "clear the rivers, and frontage, for private development, as one stupid bimbo GOP candidate has proposed? not on my watch, sister. Bust up city unions, or foul up the smooth running Departments, and bargaining units of city government that are like clockwork? heres no way in hell.
I will find a way to keep all the public parks, pools, recreational activities, and operations and maintenance funded to the high levels of service that the citizens expect.
I will tax the wealthythrough the maximum property tax levy possible so they pay their fair share of keeping our community to the highest standard, since they reap the most benefit from it. if they dont like it, they can move, or grow the tax base. got any better ideas? lets hear them?
I will re-name citizens square "Harry Baals City Hall" , because look at all the fun that america had, and success it had in marketing Our hometown. Stop in, while you are passing through, take your pictures out front, with the signage, and show your friends. that is so simple its genius... silly? stupid? yes? but fun, and thats waht we want the world to think ofus as. Not ultraconservative, tightwad, pennywise pound foolish skinflints, that are stuck in the 50's- cold war/mcCarthy/bircher? family values mindset, of a extinct history. times change. so should we.
and lastly, for the purposes of this survey, I will use the best Market research technology to gather information from my fellow citizens, compile the information, and then do what we all want to make OUR OWN Hometown better.
the "X" in "X_WIRE"? perhaps one of many inspirations...

US attorney: Drug rings broken up
Lengthy operation led to 40 indictments, 36 arrests.
By Elbert Starks III
of The News-Sentinel
Just when drug traffickers and dealers might have begun to think Fort Wayne was ripe for the picking, along comes U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana David Capp, a classic killjoy.
In a news conference Monday at the E. Ross Adair Federal Building, Capp – flanked by representatives of the Justice Department, FBI, Allen County Sheriff Ken Fries and Fort Wayne Police Department Chief Rusty York, among others – detailed the results of a lengthy operation against what he termed as “two fairly distinct conspiracies to bring drugs here.”
Some of the raw numbers from the combined operation of law-enforcement agencies:
♦Forty indictments handed down, with 36 people arrested.
♦$250,000 in cash seized.
♦26 firearms and 13 vehicles confiscated.
♦Two drug shipments intercepted with 5 kilos of cocaine worth as much as $200,000 taken.
♦25 search warrants executed.
♦10 federal wiretaps approved and executed.
Capp said the operation began in February 2010 when the FBI used confidential informants to make controlled purchases of powder and crack cocaine. Jarvis T. Buchanan was identified as an alleged drug supplier, which led to a court-authorized wiretap of his phone in October 2010 – no small feat to maintain, said Capp.
“These drug organizations are sophisticated with technology,” Capp said, detailing how cell phones could be used for as little as two weeks before being discarded, making it difficult for law-enforcement agencies to gather information.
The wiretap led to more wiretaps, with law-enforcement agencies piecing together trafficking operations that allegedly had cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana brought into the country from Mexico to California before ending up in Fort Wayne, Capp said.
Capp identified 27-year-old Silvestre Castaneda, of Fort Wayne, as an alleged major player in one of the conspiracies, while 32-year-old Alejandro Luna and 39-year-old Charley J. Gonzalez III, also of Fort Wayne, were alleged to have major roles in the other conspiracy.
Capp praised local law-enforcement agencies' efforts against the operations, citing the “sophisticated techniques, including wiretaps” that were used. He said one of the most significant developments was “the level to which we have been able to penetrate these organizations.”
“We were able to dismantle or disrupt these groups,” Capp said. “What this investigation allowed us to do is understand how large quantities (of drugs) get moved.”
Search warrants were executed April 12-13, according to a news release from the Department of Justice, with the 36 arrests made during that time. The cases will be prosecuted by assistant U.S. attorneys assigned to the Northern District's office in Fort Wayne.

David Capp, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Indiana, announces 36 arrests stemming from a federal drug task force on Monday.
Published: April 19, 2011 3:00 a.m.
U.S. attorney says 3 drug rings broken
‘Massive takedown’ gets 36 arrests, 40 indictments
Rebecca S. Green
Flanked by local law enforcement and federal agents Monday, David Capp, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Indiana, proudly announced the recent round of arrests generated by a federal drug task force.
The 36 arrests, stemming from 40 criminal complaints or indictments, constituted a “massive takedown” of a transstate drug trafficking ring that Capp said shipped large quantities of cocaine and other drugs into northeast Indiana from Mexico and California.
The focus of the investigation was 31-year-old Jarvis T. Buchanan but as investigators listened to phone calls and conducted surveillance, eventually three drug trafficking rings were uncovered and its members indicted, Capp said.
The different drug trafficking conspiracies were distinct, Capp said.
Court documents indicate that at various times, the three conspiracies, or rings, overlapped with one another in the business of drug dealing – including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana.
Indicted along with Buchanan were Jermorris Sewell, 27; Antonio Sewell, 29; Damon Porter, 31; Jose Soto, 28; Willie James Brooks, 47; and Brenna Underwood. All were from Fort Wayne, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The second conspiracy involved Silvestre Castaneda, 27, Pedro Castaneda, 37; Osiris Espinoza, 30; Maritza Castaneda, 29; Alejandro Montoya, 43; Florencia DeLuna, 29; and James Thomas, 63. All are from Fort Wayne except for Maritza Castaneda and Montoya, who are from California; and Thomas who is from Dayton.
The third conspiracy involved Charley J. Gonzalez III, 39; Billy Gonzalez, 33; Alejandro Luna, 27; Augustine Luna, 32; Joseph Luna, 34; Narciso Soto III, 29; and Antonio Angel Ray Flores, 23. All are from Fort Wayne, according to the statement.
Other people were indicted individually, or charged individually, accused of having a role in the drug trafficking operations.
Area law enforcement officers intercepted two shipments of cocaine, totaling 5 kilograms with a street value of $150,000 to $200,000, Capp said.
Investigators obtained 10 federal wiretap warrants throughout the course of the investigation, which began in early 2010, Capp said.
The investigation became public last week when 25 search warrants were served throughout Allen County, 36 people were arrested and court documents were unsealed.
While some of the court documents uncovered last week by The Journal Gazette said at least one person had known ties to a gang, the Authentic Mexican Gangsters, Capp said he could not comment on any gang involvement in the drug trafficking rings.
Capp said the number of people charged and arrested was important, not just for northeast Indiana but also for the entire northern district of the state.
But what was also significant was the level to which the task force was able to penetrate the organizations, enabling law enforcement officers to get a number of dangerous individuals off the streets, he said.
Assistant special agent in charge for the FBI’s Indianapolis office, Tom Gancarz, said the arrests marked the largest to date, statewide, for any Safe Streets Task Force.
He thanked the local agencies for giving the task force everything it needed for a safe take-down of the criminal organizations.
The Safe Streets Task Force, announced locally in May 2009, is made up of FBI agents, working alongside officers from the Indiana State Police, Allen County Sheriff’s Department, Fort Wayne Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies.
The collaboration between the agencies is welcome, said Fort Wayne Police Chief Rusty York.
“The federal system brings resources we don’t typically have,” he said.

did you know theres 2 partys in allen county? well, one active, and one loser party. Nevertheless, Mayor Henry is fairly useless, IMHO. Where are all the jobs? he's muddled along, for 4 years and was elected largely to prevent the ultraconservative lunatic fringe from gaining a foothold infort wayne, and imposing all kind of nutjob laws, and rules, which assuredly would kill jobs, and turn fort Wayne into a kool-aid drinking cultist paradise.
The mayor is also stands accused of illegal conduct, as a councilman with respect to his and his wifes illegal gambling operation- cherrymasters fall under RICO statutes, same as all those drug lords just busted, and many of the same Rico conspiracy /tax evasion/ etc laws apply. Citto for the rest of the Henry family saloons, and dives( by definition)
these laws are higher than simple misdemeanors, and class D felonies, both of which render Mayor Henry ineligible for office.
Present state election laws are laughable, and a mockery of secret ballots, and the way criminals get re-elected makes me sick. thus my making a "mockery of Democracy"- vote for a Stoner, who will do everything possible to legalize marijuana, through law changes, or other means, that i have well though out. We have to cut the nuts off the cops, and their post 9-1-1 police state, and legalizing recreational marijuana will drive them bat- guano crazy.
anyway- the Mayor is guilty circumstantially, and hard evidence/paper trail, and should be kicked to the curb. now, or november. whatever.

DEPUTY MAYOR CHARLIE SHEEN WILL FEEL RIGHT AT HOME IN FORT WAYNE

US attorney: Drug rings broken up
Lengthy operation led to 40 indictments, 36 arrests.
By Elbert Starks III
of The News-Sentinel
Just when drug traffickers and dealers might have begun to think Fort Wayne was ripe for the picking, along comes U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana David Capp, a classic killjoy.
In a news conference Monday at the E. Ross Adair Federal Building, Capp – flanked by representatives of the Justice Department, FBI, Allen County Sheriff Ken Fries and Fort Wayne Police Department Chief Rusty York, among others – detailed the results of a lengthy operation against what he termed as “two fairly distinct conspiracies to bring drugs here.”
Some of the raw numbers from the combined operation of law-enforcement agencies:
♦Forty indictments handed down, with 36 people arrested.
♦$250,000 in cash seized.
♦26 firearms and 13 vehicles confiscated.
♦Two drug shipments intercepted with 5 kilos of cocaine worth as much as $200,000 taken.
♦25 search warrants executed.
♦10 federal wiretaps approved and executed.
Capp said the operation began in February 2010 when the FBI used confidential informants to make controlled purchases of powder and crack cocaine. Jarvis T. Buchanan was identified as an alleged drug supplier, which led to a court-authorized wiretap of his phone in October 2010 – no small feat to maintain, said Capp.
“These drug organizations are sophisticated with technology,” Capp said, detailing how cell phones could be used for as little as two weeks before being discarded, making it difficult for law-enforcement agencies to gather information.
The wiretap led to more wiretaps, with law-enforcement agencies piecing together trafficking operations that allegedly had cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana brought into the country from Mexico to California before ending up in Fort Wayne, Capp said.
Capp identified 27-year-old Silvestre Castaneda, of Fort Wayne, as an alleged major player in one of the conspiracies, while 32-year-old Alejandro Luna and 39-year-old Charley J. Gonzalez III, also of Fort Wayne, were alleged to have major roles in the other conspiracy.
Capp praised local law-enforcement agencies' efforts against the operations, citing the “sophisticated techniques, including wiretaps” that were used. He said one of the most significant developments was “the level to which we have been able to penetrate these organizations.”
“We were able to dismantle or disrupt these groups,” Capp said. “What this investigation allowed us to do is understand how large quantities (of drugs) get moved.”
Search warrants were executed April 12-13, according to a news release from the Department of Justice, with the 36 arrests made during that time. The cases will be prosecuted by assistant U.S. attorneys assigned to the Northern District's office in Fort Wayne.

David Capp, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Indiana, announces 36 arrests stemming from a federal drug task force on Monday.

U.S. attorney says 3 drug rings broken
‘Massive takedown’ gets 36 arrests, 40 indictments
Rebecca S. Green
Flanked by local law enforcement and federal agents Monday, David Capp, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Indiana, proudly announced the recent round of arrests generated by a federal drug task force.
The 36 arrests, stemming from 40 criminal complaints or indictments, constituted a “massive takedown” of a transstate drug trafficking ring that Capp said shipped large quantities of cocaine and other drugs into northeast Indiana from Mexico and California.
The focus of the investigation was 31-year-old Jarvis T. Buchanan but as investigators listened to phone calls and conducted surveillance, eventually three drug trafficking rings were uncovered and its members indicted, Capp said.
The different drug trafficking conspiracies were distinct, Capp said.
Court documents indicate that at various times, the three conspiracies, or rings, overlapped with one another in the business of drug dealing – including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana.
Indicted along with Buchanan were Jermorris Sewell, 27; Antonio Sewell, 29; Damon Porter, 31; Jose Soto, 28; Willie James Brooks, 47; and Brenna Underwood. All were from Fort Wayne, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The second conspiracy involved Silvestre Castaneda, 27, Pedro Castaneda, 37; Osiris Espinoza, 30; Maritza Castaneda, 29; Alejandro Montoya, 43; Florencia DeLuna, 29; and James Thomas, 63. All are from Fort Wayne except for Maritza Castaneda and Montoya, who are from California; and Thomas who is from Dayton.
The third conspiracy involved Charley J. Gonzalez III, 39; Billy Gonzalez, 33; Alejandro Luna, 27; Augustine Luna, 32; Joseph Luna, 34; Narciso Soto III, 29; and Antonio Angel Ray Flores, 23. All are from Fort Wayne, according to the statement.
Other people were indicted individually, or charged individually, accused of having a role in the drug trafficking operations.
Area law enforcement officers intercepted two shipments of cocaine, totaling 5 kilograms with a street value of $150,000 to $200,000, Capp said.
Investigators obtained 10 federal wiretap warrants throughout the course of the investigation, which began in early 2010, Capp said.
The investigation became public last week when 25 search warrants were served throughout Allen County, 36 people were arrested and court documents were unsealed.
While some of the court documents uncovered last week by The Journal Gazette said at least one person had known ties to a gang, the Authentic Mexican Gangsters, Capp said he could not comment on any gang involvement in the drug trafficking rings.
Capp said the number of people charged and arrested was important, not just for northeast Indiana but also for the entire northern district of the state.
But what was also significant was the level to which the task force was able to penetrate the organizations, enabling law enforcement officers to get a number of dangerous individuals off the streets, he said.
Assistant special agent in charge for the FBI’s Indianapolis office, Tom Gancarz, said the arrests marked the largest to date, statewide, for any Safe Streets Task Force.
He thanked the local agencies for giving the task force everything it needed for a safe take-down of the criminal organizations.
The Safe Streets Task Force, announced locally in May 2009, is made up of FBI agents, working alongside officers from the Indiana State Police, Allen County Sheriff’s Department, Fort Wayne Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies.
The collaboration between the agencies is welcome, said Fort Wayne Police Chief Rusty York.
“The federal system brings resources we don’t typically have,” he said.

Traffic cops win $2 million award in suit vs. LAPD over ticket quota
Posted by BikersPost on April 13, 2011 at 7:07pm in Motorcycle NewsView Discussions
Two veteran motorcycle policemen were awarded Monday $2 million by a jury who found their Los Angeles Police Department commanders guilty of requiring them to issue 18 traffic violation tickets per day.
clearpxl
Howard Chan and David Benioff of the LAPD West Traffic Division sued their commanders in 2009 alleging they were punished and harassed for complaining and refusing to comply with the ticket quota.
Benioff's attorney, Gregory Smith, said the jury’s verdict hopes to end fleecing of motorists adding that the quota was illegal. The LAPD had no comment and city lawyers are considering appealing the jury verdict.
In the suit, Benioff and Chan alleged that Capt. Nancy Lauer, commander of the traffic division, and her lieutenants imposed the quota in 2006. Lauer denied the allegation and said the 18 traffic ticket per day was a goal.
A meeting between the police union and LAPD officials clarified the quota issue but Benioff and Chan pursued the suit because they were already punished for complaining.

more people would speak , it they didnt also have to sit through interminable tedium, and minutiae, of the sausage making that is city council. we just want the bratwurst, pass the mustard.
ie: why not let citizens air their greivances every week, ad the beginning of the meetings. waste the time of the city council members- they are getting paid, and let the restof us go home then , and watch the show on video replay, at 10 pm, where we can enjoy a beer, and a comfy chair.

thats the problem.
cheech and chong- CBS
the Imperial council seems to think we havenothing better to do than sit in the cheap seats, watch the circus clown juggle, and do their sideshow clown acts, while ringmaster Mitch mc's the festivities.
so the cronstructive criticism for reform, which would help make it more convenitnet for citizens to speka out, would be to have "public hearings/ soap bos at the start of all city council meetings, every week, everyone speaks,until they have said their peace, let council dialogue with the citizen, the get on with the "official meeting". Stop wasting the citizens time, making we the people sit and wait to speak, till the very end, after hours of the aforementioned chicanery, and manuvering, and let Mr smith air his grievances. let mrs Jones petition her govt for redress. and do it at the citizens convenience. if the politicians in their ivory towers are annoyed, and delayed, and inconvenienced, imagine how we all feel? and for the record, i was bringing "tea bags" to city budget hearings long before the present 'tea-party" was concocted.
daves not here
Let me tell you about a friend of mine, who i am always happy to be a willing accomplice, or the robin to his Batman.
Reminds me of the struggles of another citizen activist, tom Ostrognai, who led the crusade for the so-called "drug den ordinance"- which required landlords to not allow illegal activities on their property, such as drug dealing, illegal gambling, or prostitution.
Tom had an old school VHS video camera, and armed with that, and little else, he would go into the 'hood- where he owned several rental properties, and surreptitiously video tape " alleged" open air drug market deals going down, and then show these onhis cavle access TV show "Drug WAR", which received national media attention. He was accused of being some kind of outlaw vigilante, trying to take matters into his own hands by his detractors, but to others, his supporters, he was widely admired for using technology, and his intelligence, and viet nam Army training, to help clean up this city, or at least drive it underground where it wasnt so blatant. And I know tom, and there was also a bit of Mocking satire - in that he was sying " look at me, you stupid cops. I can clean up this city while you people choose to do nothing and ignore the problem.
tom Ostrognai, and I would talk on the phone, or sit at his house, or one of his many side venture, and he would tell me of his battles with Payne brown, Public safety director- "what an idiot", and how he would "Make the Mayor Squeak", on many of Mayor Helmke's call in show s, where his loyal "Ostrognaistas would tag team the phones, with nagging questions. nEVER A DULL MOMENT, AND A GOOD TIME TO BE HAD BY ALL., except the Mayor, of course. who for all his praises as the "golden child", was mediocre, nominally incompetent, and mostly a blow-dried puff head, derided by both the conservative GOP, as a RINO, and annoyed the Democrats for not defecting, to his ideological kin. not to mention all the gun rights advocates, who finally sent him packing for his heresy. He now is a gun control scold, and media whore i n washington DC, where everytime theres a shooting, Helmke trots out, says gunns bad. no guns good. what is a dangerous person, exactly, anyway, and who decides?
CHEECH AND CHONG- THE COCKROACH
Ostrognai was also the driving force behind the "report a drug house, save a child bumper sticker" campaign, which listed the chiefs direct FWPD phone number, so citizens could go right to where the buck stopped in the PD.
I recall a similar battle, as Ostrognai intrepidly harangued city council for weeks on end, for months, until they finally gave up, and passed it, after all kinds of excuses.
the most appalling thing about it was after the drug den ordianace passed, many of its main opponents, then crowed about it constantly in their re-election campaigns, cynically praising how it helpe close down "X"number of drug houses last year, etc.
Its a shame that the city Police are so useless, and it takes sooo long to clean up a city by depending on them, and that a few brave ballsy, "git-r-done" , mission accomplished people can make a difference.
way to go phil!

Finally, a citizen at the mic
Posted by Jim Sack in City & County Government, Fort Wayne
By Jim Sack
The star of last night’s council meeting was a citizen, Phil Marx. It was a dose of reality after an evening of mud-wrestling.
What Mr. Marx vividly and dramatically detailed to council was a litany, a long-long litany, of the abuse he and his neighbors had long endured and against which they had fought and defeated in order to take back neighborhood from thugs. Mr. Marx read police statistics for just one street, his, that were simply amazing -knifings, screw-driver to the head, shootings, assaults, false 911 calls, battery, vandalism…jeez, Louise. The list went on and on and on to the discomfort of all members of council and everyone in the audience.
Then Marx, who led the fight against the gang-bangers and drug heads and thieves,handed out a bit of credit. Assistant Chief and councilman Marty Bender, he said, would make multiple stops and ever-so-slow patrols through his neighborhood on a daily basis to show the colors, to run off perps, to simply check to see if Mr. Marx and neighbors were still standing! Over a period of years Marx and others fought back and, as he noted last night, took back their neighborhood from the derelicts who had terrorized him and everyone else on the block. Marx then read his list of infractions from a more recent police cycle and it all came up goose-eggs. Apparently, closing one den of thieves, one house, changed the entire tenor of the neighborhood. Mr. Marx again gave praise to Marty Bender, lauded Chief Rusty York and all the officers who had taken time to ride down his street to just check and to show the colors.
Mr. Marx also voiced his appreciation to Council President Mitch Harper for starting the curative ball rolling by writing on Mr. Harper’s blog about the ongoing battle of neighbors vs. low-life. Mr. Marx, noticeably, did not express appreciation to his councilman on the east side during his recitation of the ordeal.
For Mr. Marx is was an empowering ordeal that he could well have done without. Few of us want to be harassed by young toughs with their hats on backward, tats climbing their arms, their pants sagging to their knees and uttering threats, especially while we are on a ladder cleaning gutters, as Mr. Marx recounted. Mr. Marx fought back and relentlessly demanded the city take notice. It was apparent from what he said and how Mr. Bender responded that the city took a very long time to take Mr. Marx at his word and then an even longer time to weed out the gutter-dwellers.
So, I hope Mr. Marx will make stay involved in government, in holding official feet to the fire and help other neighborhoods rid themselves of these poor, neglect young miscreants.
Mr. Marx would be a better nominee than most for our local “leaders” citizen of the year award.
Meanwhile, council distinguished itself in a fight over procedure, or, rather, make that two fights over procedure.
The first tussle was between President Harper and Councilwoman Golder. It was a mess. He proposed to change a decades-old process allowing “prior approvals.” Ms. Goldner defended the system. She said she could not see the difference between what he was proposing and what was currently in effect. His “new” system, he said, (suspension of the rules) and is in keeping with Roberts’ Rules of Order; the other process, prior-approval, is not in keeping, he said. He explained that his “new” system, which is really the older system revived, would end the questionable newer system (prior-approval) he said was put in place to “wire around Jimmy Stier.” Some of you will remember Jimmy. Essentially, prior approval was the fast-track system; Mr. Harper’s new system, (suspension of the rules) which was the old system, now raises the bar substantially requiring unanimous approval at a key point to move forward.
Another way of looking at it, the “prior approval” system anticipated that council would later “make good” on its promise by formally and legally passing said ordinance. Until it was formally passed, however, its legality was suspect and could leave 1) a contractor holding the bag, 2) a big hole in a street and 3) lawyers licking their briefs. (As a side note: Liz Brown, contradicting her normal pro-business position, uttered something in support of Mitch: it’s “not our job to get every ordinance out the door as fast as possible.” This is the woman who frequently complains about the city putting too much red-tape in the way of business.) The new system…or old system revived…is less subject to lawsuit.
The debate was nasty at times with Ms. Goldner being interrupted in mid-sentence by the normally polite Mr. Harper. She asked permission to continue with her thought. “No,” he snapped. Murmurs from other members at the table. Glynn Hines rose, rolled his eyes and poured himself a coffee at a side-stand in obvious muted anger. Eventually, Mrs. Brown offered a canned motion in support of Mr. Harper, which passed, and the matter ended, but not without tarnishing a bit the reputation of council.
As for the process, it was clumsy. Apparently, a couple council members knew what was coming, as witnessed by Mrs. Brown’s memorized motion, but the whole mess could have been averted with a little broader consultation.
Then, Mr. Harper invited a pair of vendors to the table to criticize the city’s handling of the cleaning contract for the People’s Palace. The two vendors leveled a number of charges and insinuations against the process and said they felt it had been “very questionable.” Mr. Pape asked, as a point of procedure, whether the two were being given special treatment by Mr. Harper and pointed out the irony of procedure being violated to discuss a perceived breech of procedure. It was the second mess of the evening.
Later, Jim Howard, the purchasing manager, had a chance to defend the way in which the contract was bid. He challenged each and everyone one of the arguments offered by the losing bidder. Again, as she did last week, Mrs. Brown asked Howard if the city could save money by not advertising bids as extensively as it does, as is required by law. Interestingly, she also encouraged greater government transparency later in the meeting.)
Another high point was the presentation of a clock to Mr. Pape for his years of service to the community. He accepted it graciously, if a bit prematurely. He has another seven months left on his contract. One can easily note that he is a changed man since his announcement not to run. His humor is lighter, less pointed, he offers more compliments, he tries to moderate disagreements, of which there are sufficient number.
Otherwise, it was a frustrating evening of arcane procedural wrangling juxtaposed against the message Mr. Marx presented at the dais. Marx and the rest of us are on the front line and need more help in protecting and improving our neighborhoods. Meanwhile, council parses words, toss barbs and otherwise looks petty.

SAVE THE GENERAL!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ware_Lawton
Hooray for! the NS!
The thing about the people in this city is they always have to spend the most money for the simplest thing, and take the longest, most ponderous way to do things.
Case in Point- the General Wayne Statue downtown. At one time, it was also green, tarnished, a disgrace. ditto for the lady liberty statue on top of the courthouse.
The Fort Wayne way to restore the statue of General Lawton, David foster, etc, wuld be to form a committee, Hire lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, to form a 501c3 non-profit, have dozens of tedious meetings, on how to raise the money to clean, restore, and replace it. spend hundreds of dollars in postage., stationary, etc shopping for art, and historic preservation grant money, hold fancy pants party fundraisers (never a Casino night, of course) And then shipping a statue to some out of town( NEVER LOCAL) HIGH PRICED "mega-corp- clean statues are us" place, far off, ship it away, wait a year( backlog, you know, and with any luck we may see the statues back in time for some appropriate date, and time, significant to the honoree.
The ROACH WAY- would be for ME to ride my bike to the auto shop store, buy a few wire brushes, and some spray on, spray off tarnish remover, take a ladder, and a cooler full of beer, and spend the next 5 weeks, or so, wire brushing off the crud from the General Lawton statue( its closest to home).
and then use a 5 gallon bucket to rinse off each layer of crud- filled from the nearby Lakeside Park pond.
Or find a bunch of unemployed IPFW Art students, load the lawton statue into a truck, take it to behind the art building, un load it, bead blast it, etc, or ivy tech body shop class- ( is old metal, just like an antique car, more or less)
then when the Statue was down to a clean layer, ready to receive tarnish resistant coating, and protective finish- again, a few cans of top grade rustoleum primer, and then some nice gold/ bronze/ metallic ( metalflake? lol) Paint- again from my corner Hardware/Paint shop; and spray away
Voila- some sweat, muscle, beer, and spray paint, and the job is finished, for under 200 bucks, i bet- on site.
I of course would have a bucket, and sign nearby- DONATIONS ACCEPTED( will work for beer or reefer)- who likes to work for free?
The super cool deluxe el ROACHO cheep restoration would be to paint up the general, with authentic paints, so he is wearing a real looking Union blue army Uniform, and flesh tone face paint, etc. theres plenty of pictures on google, to see what paint by numbers should be.
This super CHEEP restoration , would of course last as long as the paint does, and then it sould be easy to buy some spray paint every other year, a couple hours, and have THE GENERAL looking respectable, not like some abandoned, forgotten war hero, and veteran. but isnt that what always happens to war heros,and veterans- cast off like lepers when they no longer need you?
I'm surrounded by idiots.
more "general" trivia
Brig. general Henry ware lawton is one of the more interesting characters from fort wayne, and was everywhere in the world, from the civil war, to the phillipine american war. he was the 19th century equivalent of MacArthur, in the phillipines.
Lawton was awarded the CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR. Served with Col Scion S Bass, of the "bloody 30th" infantry regiment, Shiloh, april 1862( aka Pittsburg landing) Mississippi.
Seems he had a few run ins with the laws, for drinking- LLIKELY WELL DOCUMENTED EARLY CASE OF ptsd- from civil war Battles.
Several footntes, and mentions in Bert Griswolds History of fort Wayne" ( i have my own personal copy, btw).
He was dissed a few times by the local papers of his time ( i know how that feels)
Heres some more Lawton General Trivia( no pun intended..)(Sir!)

GPS ON COP CARS? G, I WONDER WHY?
Chief York mentioned GPS. The reason there is now GPS tracking units inFWPD cop cars is because several police officers who have run for office( chief bender; officer Joyner) have been cited to the election board by Yours truly (Roach) for driving their take-home cop cars to election campaign evenrs ( city council/sheriff- respectively). furthermore, I personally have watched cop cars with the wife and kids doing all kinds of non-police shopping , and of coruse, NARCED ON THEM/ ratted out the rats. I reported chief benedr, and other cops of his nw defunct motorcycle patrol running escort of ABATE events across county lines- out of county; another big No No . again, I REPORTED THEM TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES. Finally, a friend of mine let me in on the fact that many of our local cops were driving their cop cars to the lake- waaay out of county limits. so now their cop cars have the proverbial ankle bracelet, where we can keep track of ruther abuses of police power, and abuses of take- home cop car priveleges.
Which I predicted in 1998 when i ran for mayor against the "flim-flam man"( now in St Louis). I said i woudl support it, becuase the neighborhoods seemed to want to pay for it, but i said that the cops cant be trusted, and they will take advantage of tie citizens, and the program. DID I CALL IT? Which is why the cps should have to pay for their cars as if they are their own. gas, insurance, monthly payments, just like you and me. they earn plenty, not to mention side jobs, which pay handsomely as well. which by the way, the cops also drive their take home cop cars to, and wear their on duty uniforms to their off duty jobs. which i dont think passes the smell test, and appears improper to me.
WANT TO SAVE BIG BUCKS ON YOUR AUTO INSURANCE, FOR FREE?
WANT TO SAVE "15% OR MORE ON YOUR AUTO INSURANCE?
Most insurance companies give discounts for having a GPS/LOJAC/ONSTAR auto theft tracking device on your automobile.
Here is how you can save a few dollars, and throw a wrench into the city computers tracking your recycle bins( which by the way, I have heard from reliable sources that cops, and others have been reporting their trash carts stolen, then taking them to their Lake Cottages. And then getting a free replacement.
SO HERES WHAT YOU DO. :
go to your yellow top recycle bin. look for the 1" Plastic Hex Nut located on the left side of the hinge/handle, Get a large crescent wrench, or Vice grips, and remove that nut.
Inside you will find a RFID microchip, which the city govt uses to track your cart, and to keep records of. If you are a conspiracy theorist, this will irk you to no end.
remove the RFID device, replace the nut, and toss the RFID in your car trunk, under the seat, in your spare tire well. anywhere it will stay put in your car. VOILA! You now have a free GPS tracking device inyour car, compliments of King Henry, and co.
If you car is ever stolen, report to the police that your recycle bin RFID is in your car, and they should be able to X-REFERENCE the bin number issued to you, the RFID chip serial number( just like a chip in FIDOS NECK) , and let technology do its work.
Otrher fun things to do with that RFID chip is to toss it into your recycle bin, and recycle it; or duct tape it to a RR car, or any random vehicle.
This will drive the city computer system KOO-KOO, as it tracks all kinds of spurious RFID chip data information, and generates all kinds of Garbage data reports. CURSE YOU DOCTOR EVIL!
If anybody from the city shows up at your door, and asks you about it, plead the "5th". I dont know what your talking about? the RFID chip s missing? Darn neighbor kids. Playing jokes again. someone must a come by, and took it out.
have fun!
SPEAKING OF THE MAYORS RACE:
WHICH BRINGS US TO ROACH! May 3rd , we can fire Mayor Henry. May 4th, I bring destruction, and chaos to the GOP lunatic fringe candidates. All endorsed by the local version of Fred Phelps, and the Westboro bunch of loony-toons.
My platform is legalize recreational marijuana, to create thousands of green jobs, and help legitimize and tax the already illicit billion dollar hoosier marijuana industry. which will atract the job creating "creative class" which will snowball into more growth, and opportunity here. Because more of the same will breed mor of the same- down the swirling bowl...
After all is said and done, we are either saddled with another 4 more years of a mediocre, secretive caretaker Mayor, who ignores the peoples ideas( Harry Baals City Hall)(drag strip). Who cant wait to spend that cash!( legayc fund) on more dubious, overpriced taxpayer subsidized projects to line the pockets of the "usual suspects"- the crooked cabal in charge of the allen county democratic party, and their sycophantic hangers on.
A Police chief who runs the department like his own Gestapo, with blu shirted nazis hunting anyone with cash- tickets tickets tickets- to earn their stripes by how much money they bring into the city coffers. Forget serve and protect, peace officers, We now have ticket and collect revenue agents.
Mayor Henry, where are all the jobs? your ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE is a money sucking, taxpayer subsidized useles money pit. where are the results, after all the millionc of bucks we have handed over, with little or no accountability? If we just took all thse milions, and just handed out checks to random people in the street, we would have created mor jobs, in fact, dozens of millionaires, who would now be paying taxes on that money.
Neighborhood code? forget your traditions of common law- castle doctrine doctrine- a mans home is his castle, and his grounda are his kingdom, and let no man tread upon them? unless you are neighborhood, code, and someone rats you out, because they dont like your ugly car, you auto hobby, your lack of spending money to keep your home pristine, or trying to win yard of the month.
The inner city is a hollowed out hole, due to demolitions of so-called blighted properties. meanwhile 12,000 vacant houses, and the city govt is paying millions to maintain the hundreds of county owned properties.
And so on. Go ahead, and vote for the "gang of 3"- any one- not a dimes worth of difference. they all talk the fiscal conservative talk, but the second they get inpower, duck, becausE the FAMILY VALUES/ SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE/ ultraconservative, mcCarthy/Bircher/ lunatic fringe agenda will take over, and trample all our rights asunder.
Which if I'm Mayor, i will beat them down on that issue until they look like rocky in the 15th round- figuratively speaking. If you want to kill the local economy, drive out the creative class, accelerate brain drain, mass exodus of 18-34 young men, and women, then by all means, let the local koo-koo for koko puffs koch bothers tea party/ lunatic fringe social conservatives elect their boys or girls. If you love North Korea, or Iran, - fine religious theorcracies, then go ahead, elect these gop granola flakes.
My last 4 words on this will be : I TOLD YOU SO.

WHY VOTE FOR DAVID C ROACH AKA MR ROACHCLIP IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, INSTEAD OF THE INCUMBENT? go ahead, re-elect the crook. I say put him on the street may 3th( the next day). Then the ALL THE voters of ALL OF FORT WAYNE can vote for someone who will represent legalizing recreational marijuana.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
THIS IS THE QUESTIONNAIRE I FILLED OUT FOR LAST YEARS SHERIFF RACE. I WAS THE DEMOCRATS NOMINEE. IT DEALS WITH DRUG LAWS, AND LOCAL POLICE MATTERS, WHICH APPLY TO THIS YEARS MAYORS RACE AS WELL.
I want to thank the YLNI for this opportunity to put my ideas out ther. These are just my own ideas, and the As an elected official, the citizens needs and concerns will be paramount, and addressed, and incorporated into my own. I am already more accessible on-line with full 2 way communication with the general public than our current sheriff. He has no blog page, no twitter account, no facebook page, no web page. google sheriff ken Fries, and there is no interactive links, only top down. as an elected official , that is not right. Call ma a jackass, but tell me why, and what i should do(?) to correct that, or offer your input, and i'll be happy to post it, and talk about it.
the People elect their citizen led/controlled military/police. We work for you, and are answerable to you.
I will fully obey the State constitution with respect to the civil rights of inmates, and the civil rights of the citizens, while keeping a lid on dangerous crimes, and obvious illegal activity creating a nuisance in any neighbor hood. You know it when you see it. Opn air drug markets/after hours public parties will be curtailed.if the FWPD isnt doing its job, the ACPD will. I have ways to scatter the "cockroaches"( self-deprecating joke)
but seriously- I have studyied ways to reform the system to make Policing more citizen friendly to those who make make mistakes, and ways to wage "war" on the truly dangerous.
Again- Thank you for your time, and We are all on the same team when it comes to changing FTW into a tolerant, openminded, creative class, youth friendly city, because all we hear from everyone else is talk.
1. CO-LOCATION, ETC.:
Public Safety First.( i hijacked this line from the sheriff) Open the Sheriff's Firing Range to the Public, for a Safe place to shoot In Allen County. Use Classrooms At Harding HS for instruction after school hours.
FWPD and ACPD merged into a new METRO PD - INDY METRO PD, for example. There is command redundancy, and continuous intergovernmental bureaucratic bickering and turf battles. INDY merged in 2005. It is embarassing to see the Sheriff and PD Chief constantly bickering. ONE METRO pd will ensure a coordinated strategy for policing across the county, and limit clogging the courts, and the high price of filling the jail with minor offenders, saving space for the truly dangerous.
2. DRUG ENFORCEMENT:
read this first, Party Safely second.( i added to the sheriffs motto)
http://x-wire.blogspot.com/2010/08/end-marijuana-prohibition-now.html
I have 30 + years studying Vice and Narcotics in Fort Wayne, and the Police, and Local Government , while working in the local Alcohol/adult entertainment businesses.
Recent FBI crime Statistics say violent Crime is down, nationwide. 70% of the DOC system is taken up by non-violent drug offenders, and social drinkers, and other misc. scofflaws. Marijuana is legal/decriminalized in 14 states, and many others across the world, with nominal civil penalties, except for trafficking to minors. many upstanding citizens smoke pot. I will use the soapbox to advocate for mild civil penalties for these stoners. alcohol is far more dangerous, and causes more havoc, yet is legal . The Federal government has issued executive orders for the DEA, FBI, ETC.to leave stoners alone, Because they have bigger fish to fry- what with terrorists, and suchamd trying to save tax money.
3. Budget priorities/Demands.
I have a Hand held "Thors Hammer, and a sledgehammer, and can knock out the windows, and a wide doorway in the 9-11 dispatch center, and be done by happy hour, mission accomplished, will work for beer, even. The Sheriff, and the FWPDhave been telking since 1996, I am a no BS,man of action. do or die.
I am better physically fit than many of our current city Police. The sheriff has made an effort to insure that his officers are able to effect more than just a "Cardiac Arrest". I am sure I can meet the phical fitness requirements. Most of the Sheriff's duties are clerical, Investigative, and desk based. I am acquainted with most of the county council, and local elected officials. I have sat through many hours of budget hearings, either in person, or watching on TV. My education, and personal study have prepared me for budgetary concerns, and using the soapbox of the office to get what the citizens want. Raise money by opening the sheriffs firing range to the public, with a nominal affordable user fee, annual membership, general tax line item, As All residents benefit by an armed citizenry. the Police cant be everywhere all the time, and Everyone is responsible for their own safety, and their home, and families security.

THIS IS A CAMPAIGN PLATFORM I COOKED UP FOR MY FRIEND, THE FILIPINA PORN STAR WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OF NEVADA IN 2006:
I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN COINCIDENTAL SIMILARITIES TO PRESIDENT OBAMA'S PRESENT PLANS.
i WILL ALSO MENTION THAT THERE ARE MANY ITEMS THAT ARE HIGHLY SIMILAR TO ny times AUTHOR THOMAS FRIEDNMANS BOOKS "THE WORLD IS FLAT", AND "HOT, FLAT AND CROWDED"
YOU CAN DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS AS TO THE CHRONOLOGY.
in the land of the blind,
the one-eyed Jack is King. If you're not #1, you're #2
In a world where politicians, and bureaucrats spend hundreds of thousands
of dollars to hire out-of-state consultants to tell them what they haven't the
common sense to discern for themselves, or have professional king-maker handlers to tell them what to do or think; or to provide political cover for what the voters dont want to hear, or havent thought of, and just want a little fuel to fire them up and get them thinking;
I submit this for your perusal- my 2 cents worth, if you will
(and you now what they say about free advice)
People said to Benjamin "bugsy"Segal "The Flamingo would never turn a profit, and
Las Vegas would always be a hick town in the middle of the desert.
They told Howard Hughes "The 'Spruce Goose" will Never fly"
Nikita Kruschev banged his shoe on the podium of the UN stating
"We will bury You"- and LasVegas/Nevada is turning Macau
into MC Cau's.
3for 3 aint bad- ITS A WIDE OPEN WORLD! and I'm an ACE of hearts with a Queen of Hearts at the table, in the "Nevada Hold'em Winner take all " World series.. betting on the "river, and the "flop"- its looking good so far.
And a bunch of legal, legitimate "Whales" with a boat load of money near by waiting to see what happens next...
Inspired by Newt Gingrich, and GOPAC '94
Contract "on" Nevada (mob joke intended) the offer you can't refuse(?)
1. Education- affordable education for all Nevadans. use technology to make higher education accessble for all Nevadans-Internet; Distance Learning; Foreign Language studies
2. Health Care- Affordable, universal health care will help small businesses attract talent, and help the poor who have none. It will also lower taxes on the rich(who both have health insurance, and pay for the E-room visits of the uninsured. The risk pool will be spread out among a broader base, lowering per capita costs.
3. Minimum Wage- Give the poor a raise. The market will find a way to boost the spending power, and reduce poverty and welfare costs among the poor.
4. Better Police Protection- Implement high-tech military quality command and control communications systems so dispatch and field leaders can best deploy their assets where needed for maximum efficiency, and public safety; Monitor Child predators more closely; Give street patols more profesional training, so they have better street level discretion on arrests and tickets- this will keep the courts and jails from getting clogged with low- level offenders, freeing up resources for more dangerous violent felony criminals; See next item for Police Personal protection; allow Officers to carry SKS in their police vehicle trunks to pre-empt any "N. Hollywood shootout scenarios"
Give the Cops what they need to safely do the dangerous work we have entrusted to them; but closely hold our Police accountable to that trust..
5. Homeland Security- Insure that returning NV Natl. Guard Troops and Air Guard Assets are returned to C-1 readiness ASAP- Ballistic Helmet Protection; AK-47 threat level Body Armor; Armored Vehicles... Replace Choppers with leased Soviet/Chinese equipment if needed-Cheap, and functional- this may be needed for evacuation. Nevada must be prepared as anyone for Disaster or other contingencies
Military, and police assets must be able to cooperate, and coordinate any responses that may arise. like the boy scouts say "Be prepared"
6. Water Resources- Lake Mead salt flats/dry lake bed....baddd! but it could happen unless Nevadans conserve, and use science and technology to find renewable, reliable, and available sources of this precious substance- My father worked in the Groundwater/ drinking water industry for 20 years. I learned a lot about hyrology- up to my neck...pun intended...there's a lot of fresh water sources out there; its just how creative do you wan to be in obtaining it..
7. Transportation Infrastructure- I understand that Nevada will be facing a $3.8 Billion shortfall in road maintenance funding soon. And the secondary roads are in need of repair, and upgrading. Here in Indiana, Our governor Mitch Daniels created "Major Moves"- a doable/ albeit controversial scheme to lease out the toll road system. There is potential for Nevadans to implement a similar toll road project...
I would also develop the LV-LA freeway, and a Kingman to Carson City Road expansion. Rail service between LV and LA, and a rail service from Reno to KingMan would save gasoline, and invite inter/intrastate toursim from both Californicators to Sin city, and Nevadans wanting to take a Surfing Safari to the Pacific Coast.
8. Aviation Infrastructure- Again- Indianapolis Airport has leased out its air operations to professional Management firms. It saves Hoosiers millions in taxes, and works.
McCarran could benefit from a similar plan. Aviation has always been a major player in Nevada. Both Civilian tourism travel from global locations to America's Gambling Mecca /Pleasure Dome; to Military/Space operations, at Nellis AFB, Area 51, the Nevada Test site/ practice range, and other High-Tech weapons testing areas around the region. Nevada has a perfect climate for flying, and aviation Maintenance.
As I hear, there are plans to build a new airport, further out in the boonies, away from all those tall hotels. That may be good idea. Might I suggest calling it Las Vegas International space port (LVIS)
9. Energy- As Las Vegas/Clark County Expands- so too will its energy needs. developing Renewable Energy resources will save business, and citizens hard earned cash for other needs is needed. from photovoltaic solar arays on suburban tract housing roofs, to windmills - large and small, and even nuclear( The Navy has had reactors on their submarines for decades without incident..) Natural gas from biological sources is a free resource that can reap savings. Every penny we save in enegry is a penny our enemies dont have to buy bullets, or WMD's, and cause trouble for Americans later...I'm fed up. are you? Tell them to pound sand...
10. Environment- The Earth is a zero-sum game. It doesnt care if we live, or kill ourselves off. It will continue, and live will go on. just not human life..It will happen.
The polar Ice Caps are melting, Glaciers are receding. When Minnesotans, and Canadians are wearing hawaiin shirts, and sandals, sipping Molsons in the dead of winter, its probably too late. but that is a short time off. Again, Science, and innovative technology can provide solutions. A penny in time saves nine..
11. Economy- Nevada is blessed with the most important element not found on the periodic table- the Human Element- While the "Rust Belt" is crying in their beers about "Brain Drain"- the best and brightest fleeing "Bible Belt" repression, and trying to attract the so-called "Creative Class" (whatever that is), and Social Engineering Gurus sermonizing about "The World is Flat"(tom Friedman),and is the wave of the future- states such as California, Nevada, and others are blessed with the influx ot just these type of non-conformist, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, outside-the-box
visionaries, and intellectuals; who like to work hard at whatever they do the best, free to thinkna ddream, and then free to play at whatever pursuits they may care to- liberated from the outdated dogmas of religious opression. They are all deeply spiritual, and enlightened thinkers, its just that they have their own views on the nature of their gods or goddesses, or whatever ..but they dont have as many evangicals with nothing else to do telling them how to live their lives, and punishing them economically for deviating from conformity..
The Gambling Industry, the "Adult Entertainment" industry, the Nightclub industry-
travel, entertainment, tourism attracts 38 million visitors from all over the world, who spend per capita $1000 bucks a head (38 billion in LV 2005- time magazine-july)
Salloons, Dance Halls, Gambling Palaces. Hotels, Night Clubs, Restaurants. truly a staggering variety for every taste and budget of every visitor, from all walks of life..
To restrict or limit the growth of this wholly service sector based economy would kill the goose that laid the golden egg. You want religion- move to salt lake. Leave "PartyTown" alone..Las Vegans are religious- by the way- families want their kids to know that there is the kids world, and the adult world, and a. dont mix the 2; and b. there is lots to do in NV besides sex, drugs, gambling, and prostitution
12. Travel and Tourism (TNT)- Personally as a midwesterner, of modest suburbia upbringing in a stereotypical 2-parent, (post)nuclear family- 2 cars, and all- I plan to elplore Nevada's wild wild West roots, and history- ghost towns, abandoned mines, rail museums. I want to take in the Reno Air Races, Enjoy Snow-covered Lake Tahoe, visit the "ponderosa"; Visit the infields and pits of Nevadas motorpsorts events- Nascar, Indy cars, Drag racing; Motorcycle racing, Speed boat racing, and Airplane racing- a gearheads paradise- and an endless summer to tinker with things that go fast, and make a lot of noise, and lots of rural flat, deserted roads to do it on..safely, or course- helmet optionalll
13.Miscellaneous- If I had all the money in the world, and all the time in the world to spend it- this is what i would do,personally- resurrect, restore, and fly the "TombRaider"- that B-29 sitting at the bottom of Lake Mead-in about as good a shape as you will find a 60 year old aircraft still in existence. I would recruit kids of all ages, high-school "buzz-Lightyear wannabes"; Aviation Engineering College students, or any body else who spent way too much time building model airplanes, and who always deramed of building the real deal- to come out to what I would call "Area 51(too), hanger 19; and help our next generation of future Chuck Yeagers and the 7 mercury astronauts develop the "Right Stuff" to take Americas Space program "To infinity and Beyond!"
Then when I got done with that....I would be the next Leland Stanford, and build the "Virginia, Truckee, and Las Vegas" real live, steam fired Railroad (coal and wood fueled) running Railfan tourist excursions from Reno to Kingman AZ. This would have several historical railroad eras represented- the old west-like the Denver-Rio Grande silverton excursion line- to the Steam powered peak of luxury, and rail travel of the 1940's- a luxury, casino, dining train- of the finest 40's vintage pullman cars available- or newer AMTRAK cars would do in a pinch; to even having 50's vintage diesel locomotive service. Having gambling Casino Railroad excursion rail tourism would likely be financially self sufficient- as foreign visitors would enjoy this authentic part of American History. heck- we could even through in a staged train robbery, completw with Jesse james, and Butch Cassidy/sundance Kid/ Wild bunch Reenactors, chased off by horse back riding Wyatt Earp brothers.. Hey- its my vision- ill make it up as I go along...but if you dont build it, they wont come...
14. Communication/Internet infrastructure- WIFI hotspots overlapping all over the strip area, greater cell tower coverage, Fiber-optic internet service, cable coverage, Satellite up links..So that even the remotest location in the Nevada "wilderness" will be able to do business in the global economy..
theres lots more to follow, but we'll conclude with this parting shot:
15. Free Beers for Nevada. (Not Really) but Bob Beers is an old school McCarthy/Wallace bean-counting tightwad who wants to hold Nevada back from those "evil Californian left coasters ruining Nevada"; who are fleeing the Smog, the high cost of living, the high cost of doing business, and all those people who run own and control everything in the entertainment industry (and international banking cartels too?) who are corrupting and poisoning the hearts and minds of ameircas youth, causing all the social problems that a little more parental attention would go a long ways towards solving.
And every other narrow minded, bigoted xenophobe conservative dittohead like him too...Not everyone has the luxury of growing up in a 2 parent normal nuclear family, like I was blessed by, and not everyone wants to walk the straight and narrw- the wild side is more fun,and you only live once... I suspect that Bob Beers, with his dislike of the California/ hollywood lifestyle may be harboring latent anti-semitic sentiments that he is either conscious or worse- unaware of.
Wake up BOB!- smell the columbian coffee, grown by those hoards of little brown men- Juan Vladez, and his non-english speaking, taco grubbing, pot smoking, coca chewing burro riding buddies, and tequila distiling pal Jose cuervo, and Jesus and Maria, changing water into Corona, dos equess, , and Modelo beer.
Its a global economy- I'm not exactly thrilled, but even dinosaurs like you and Harry callahan have to adapt, or extinct. The changes this world has gone through in the last 46 years- from monkeys in sputnik to men in space stations; from commodore64s to laptops with more computing power than all of america in the 50's. and the Internet- with the ability to help orchestrate a Governors campaign of a big-boobed asian porn star from a running joke in page 7 of the local bar guide magazine to a global News story on the APwire "NEVADA GOVERNORS RACE WIDE OPEN", from 2100 miles away with a university public access computer terminal, and a bookbag (see what a public school education can do for you?) Only in 21st century america. And I figure I have at best another 20 years ot go...Imagine the possibilities...
Any way- everybody. chew on this- and see what you can spit out- its only a 3rd draft; subject to voters approval, and revision. Yes- it may cost some money; but think of it as an investment in your childrens future- surely you dont want toscrimp on a few dollars and shortchange your childrens future? and dont forget- how are you going tofinance your reitrement when all the jobs are no longer in america? A small price to pay indeed. Look at the benefits of the Manhattan projcet- the moon-shot? the space program. The North Koreans, and the "goat-ropers" are all gunning for us. be ready and win, or lose, and die. makes it a no-brainer, dont it?
But if even Steven Spielberg could forgive Oscar Schindler, then perhaps there is hope for the BOB Beers and Mel gibsons of the world...Repent of your sins, and god will forgive you...
This is submitted with a tongue-in cheek approach, due to the fact that your average citizens eyes glaze over from too many facts and figures in this MTV/sound-bite pop-culture we live in today. A little humor peppered liberally goes a long way..
BEHOLD! MY INTERNET PORTAL! KNOCK, AND IT SHALL BE OPENED. SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND. ASK AND IT SHALL BE ANSWERED. ALL THE SECRETS ARE CONTAINED WITHIN. LOOK INTO MY MIND... IF YOU DARE..WELCOME TO THE "DEMOCRAT MACHINE"

IN 2008, CHELSEA CLINTON DID A WHISTLESTOP AT IPFW. SHE WAS ASKED ABOUT LEGALIZING MARIJUANA. HER ANSWER INSPIRED ME- SHE ALSO THINKS RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA SHOULD BELEGALIZED, FOR ALL THE SAME REASONS THAT GOVERNOR DANIELS IS TALKING ABOUT INDIANA'S CRIMINAL CODE/JUSTICE SYSTEM REFORMS, THE LEGALIZATION OF RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA IN CALIFORNIA, AND THE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CANNABIS INDUSTRY THERE, AND TO CURB THE VIOLENCE IN THE US/MEXICO BORDER.
WHY VOTE FOR DAVID C ROACH AKA MR ROACHCLIP IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, INSTEAD OF THE INCUMBENT? go ahead, re-elect the crook. I say put him on the street may 3th( the next day). Then the ALL THE voters of ALL OF FORT WAYNE can vote for someone who will represent legalizing recreational marijuana.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
THIS IS THE QUESTIONNAIRE I FILLED OUT FOR LAST YEARS SHERIFF RACE. I WAS THE DEMOCRATS NOMINEE. IT DEALS WITH DRUG LAWS, AND LOCAL POLICE MATTERS, WHICH APPLY TO THIS YEARS MAYORS RACE AS WELL.
I want to thank the YLNI for this opportunity to put my ideas out ther. These are just my own ideas, and the As an elected official, the citizens needs and concerns will be paramount, and addressed, and incorporated into my own. I am already more accessible on-line with full 2 way communication with the general public than our current sheriff. He has no blog page, no twitter account, no facebook page, no web page. google sheriff ken Fries, and there is no interactive links, only top down. as an elected official , that is not right. Call ma a jackass, but tell me why, and what i should do(?) to correct that, or offer your input, and i'll be happy to post it, and talk about it.
the People elect their citizen led/controlled military/police. We work for you, and are answerable to you.
I will fully obey the State constitution with respect to the civil rights of inmates, and the civil rights of the citizens, while keeping a lid on dangerous crimes, and obvious illegal activity creating a nuisance in any neighbor hood. You know it when you see it. Opn air drug markets/after hours public parties will be curtailed.if the FWPD isnt doing its job, the ACPD will. I have ways to scatter the "cockroaches"( self-deprecating joke)
but seriously- I have studyied ways to reform the system to make Policing more citizen friendly to those who make make mistakes, and ways to wage "war" on the truly dangerous.
Again- Thank you for your time, and We are all on the same team when it comes to changing FTW into a tolerant, openminded, creative class, youth friendly city, because all we hear from everyone else is talk.
1. CO-LOCATION, ETC.:
Public Safety First.( i hijacked this line from the sheriff) Open the Sheriff's Firing Range to the Public, for a Safe place to shoot In Allen County. Use Classrooms At Harding HS for instruction after school hours.
FWPD and ACPD merged into a new METRO PD - INDY METRO PD, for example. There is command redundancy, and continuous intergovernmental bureaucratic bickering and turf battles. INDY merged in 2005. It is embarassing to see the Sheriff and PD Chief constantly bickering. ONE METRO pd will ensure a coordinated strategy for policing across the county, and limit clogging the courts, and the high price of filling the jail with minor offenders, saving space for the truly dangerous.
2. DRUG ENFORCEMENT:
read this first, Party Safely second.( i added to the sheriffs motto)
http://x-wire.blogspot.com/2010/08/end-marijuana-prohibition-now.html
I have 30 + years studying Vice and Narcotics in Fort Wayne, and the Police, and Local Government , while working in the local Alcohol/adult entertainment businesses.
Recent FBI crime Statistics say violent Crime is down, nationwide. 70% of the DOC system is taken up by non-violent drug offenders, and social drinkers, and other misc. scofflaws. Marijuana is legal/decriminalized in 14 states, and many others across the world, with nominal civil penalties, except for trafficking to minors. many upstanding citizens smoke pot. I will use the soapbox to advocate for mild civil penalties for these stoners. alcohol is far more dangerous, and causes more havoc, yet is legal . The Federal government has issued executive orders for the DEA, FBI, ETC.to leave stoners alone, Because they have bigger fish to fry- what with terrorists, and suchamd trying to save tax money.
3. Budget priorities/Demands.
I have a Hand held "Thors Hammer, and a sledgehammer, and can knock out the windows, and a wide doorway in the 9-11 dispatch center, and be done by happy hour, mission accomplished, will work for beer, even. The Sheriff, and the FWPDhave been telking since 1996, I am a no BS,man of action. do or die.
I am better physically fit than many of our current city Police. The sheriff has made an effort to insure that his officers are able to effect more than just a "Cardiac Arrest". I am sure I can meet the phical fitness requirements. Most of the Sheriff's duties are clerical, Investigative, and desk based. I am acquainted with most of the county council, and local elected officials. I have sat through many hours of budget hearings, either in person, or watching on TV. My education, and personal study have prepared me for budgetary concerns, and using the soapbox of the office to get what the citizens want. Raise money by opening the sheriffs firing range to the public, with a nominal affordable user fee, annual membership, general tax line item, As All residents benefit by an armed citizenry. the Police cant be everywhere all the time, and Everyone is responsible for their own safety, and their home, and families security.

THIS IS A CAMPAIGN PLATFORM I COOKED UP FOR MY FRIEND, THE FILIPINA PORN STAR WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OF NEVADA IN 2006:
I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN COINCIDENTAL SIMILARITIES TO PRESIDENT OBAMA'S PRESENT PLANS.
i WILL ALSO MENTION THAT THERE ARE MANY ITEMS THAT ARE HIGHLY SIMILAR TO ny times AUTHOR THOMAS FRIEDNMANS BOOKS "THE WORLD IS FLAT", AND "HOT, FLAT AND CROWDED"
YOU CAN DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS AS TO THE CHRONOLOGY.
in the land of the blind,
the one-eyed Jack is King. If you're not #1, you're #2
In a world where politicians, and bureaucrats spend hundreds of thousands
of dollars to hire out-of-state consultants to tell them what they haven't the
common sense to discern for themselves, or have professional king-maker handlers to tell them what to do or think; or to provide political cover for what the voters dont want to hear, or havent thought of, and just want a little fuel to fire them up and get them thinking;
I submit this for your perusal- my 2 cents worth, if you will
(and you now what they say about free advice)
People said to Benjamin "bugsy"Segal "The Flamingo would never turn a profit, and
Las Vegas would always be a hick town in the middle of the desert.
They told Howard Hughes "The 'Spruce Goose" will Never fly"
Nikita Kruschev banged his shoe on the podium of the UN stating
"We will bury You"- and LasVegas/Nevada is turning Macau
into MC Cau's.
3for 3 aint bad- ITS A WIDE OPEN WORLD! and I'm an ACE of hearts with a Queen of Hearts at the table, in the "Nevada Hold'em Winner take all " World series.. betting on the "river, and the "flop"- its looking good so far.
And a bunch of legal, legitimate "Whales" with a boat load of money near by waiting to see what happens next...
Inspired by Newt Gingrich, and GOPAC '94
Contract "on" Nevada (mob joke intended) the offer you can't refuse(?)
1. Education- affordable education for all Nevadans. use technology to make higher education accessble for all Nevadans-Internet; Distance Learning; Foreign Language studies
2. Health Care- Affordable, universal health care will help small businesses attract talent, and help the poor who have none. It will also lower taxes on the rich(who both have health insurance, and pay for the E-room visits of the uninsured. The risk pool will be spread out among a broader base, lowering per capita costs.
3. Minimum Wage- Give the poor a raise. The market will find a way to boost the spending power, and reduce poverty and welfare costs among the poor.
4. Better Police Protection- Implement high-tech military quality command and control communications systems so dispatch and field leaders can best deploy their assets where needed for maximum efficiency, and public safety; Monitor Child predators more closely; Give street patols more profesional training, so they have better street level discretion on arrests and tickets- this will keep the courts and jails from getting clogged with low- level offenders, freeing up resources for more dangerous violent felony criminals; See next item for Police Personal protection; allow Officers to carry SKS in their police vehicle trunks to pre-empt any "N. Hollywood shootout scenarios"
Give the Cops what they need to safely do the dangerous work we have entrusted to them; but closely hold our Police accountable to that trust..
5. Homeland Security- Insure that returning NV Natl. Guard Troops and Air Guard Assets are returned to C-1 readiness ASAP- Ballistic Helmet Protection; AK-47 threat level Body Armor; Armored Vehicles... Replace Choppers with leased Soviet/Chinese equipment if needed-Cheap, and functional- this may be needed for evacuation. Nevada must be prepared as anyone for Disaster or other contingencies
Military, and police assets must be able to cooperate, and coordinate any responses that may arise. like the boy scouts say "Be prepared"
6. Water Resources- Lake Mead salt flats/dry lake bed....baddd! but it could happen unless Nevadans conserve, and use science and technology to find renewable, reliable, and available sources of this precious substance- My father worked in the Groundwater/ drinking water industry for 20 years. I learned a lot about hyrology- up to my neck...pun intended...there's a lot of fresh water sources out there; its just how creative do you wan to be in obtaining it..
7. Transportation Infrastructure- I understand that Nevada will be facing a $3.8 Billion shortfall in road maintenance funding soon. And the secondary roads are in need of repair, and upgrading. Here in Indiana, Our governor Mitch Daniels created "Major Moves"- a doable/ albeit controversial scheme to lease out the toll road system. There is potential for Nevadans to implement a similar toll road project...
I would also develop the LV-LA freeway, and a Kingman to Carson City Road expansion. Rail service between LV and LA, and a rail service from Reno to KingMan would save gasoline, and invite inter/intrastate toursim from both Californicators to Sin city, and Nevadans wanting to take a Surfing Safari to the Pacific Coast.
8. Aviation Infrastructure- Again- Indianapolis Airport has leased out its air operations to professional Management firms. It saves Hoosiers millions in taxes, and works.
McCarran could benefit from a similar plan. Aviation has always been a major player in Nevada. Both Civilian tourism travel from global locations to America's Gambling Mecca /Pleasure Dome; to Military/Space operations, at Nellis AFB, Area 51, the Nevada Test site/ practice range, and other High-Tech weapons testing areas around the region. Nevada has a perfect climate for flying, and aviation Maintenance.
As I hear, there are plans to build a new airport, further out in the boonies, away from all those tall hotels. That may be good idea. Might I suggest calling it Las Vegas International space port (LVIS)
9. Energy- As Las Vegas/Clark County Expands- so too will its energy needs. developing Renewable Energy resources will save business, and citizens hard earned cash for other needs is needed. from photovoltaic solar arays on suburban tract housing roofs, to windmills - large and small, and even nuclear( The Navy has had reactors on their submarines for decades without incident..) Natural gas from biological sources is a free resource that can reap savings. Every penny we save in enegry is a penny our enemies dont have to buy bullets, or WMD's, and cause trouble for Americans later...I'm fed up. are you? Tell them to pound sand...
10. Environment- The Earth is a zero-sum game. It doesnt care if we live, or kill ourselves off. It will continue, and live will go on. just not human life..It will happen.
The polar Ice Caps are melting, Glaciers are receding. When Minnesotans, and Canadians are wearing hawaiin shirts, and sandals, sipping Molsons in the dead of winter, its probably too late. but that is a short time off. Again, Science, and innovative technology can provide solutions. A penny in time saves nine..
11. Economy- Nevada is blessed with the most important element not found on the periodic table- the Human Element- While the "Rust Belt" is crying in their beers about "Brain Drain"- the best and brightest fleeing "Bible Belt" repression, and trying to attract the so-called "Creative Class" (whatever that is), and Social Engineering Gurus sermonizing about "The World is Flat"(tom Friedman),and is the wave of the future- states such as California, Nevada, and others are blessed with the influx ot just these type of non-conformist, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, outside-the-box
visionaries, and intellectuals; who like to work hard at whatever they do the best, free to thinkna ddream, and then free to play at whatever pursuits they may care to- liberated from the outdated dogmas of religious opression. They are all deeply spiritual, and enlightened thinkers, its just that they have their own views on the nature of their gods or goddesses, or whatever ..but they dont have as many evangicals with nothing else to do telling them how to live their lives, and punishing them economically for deviating from conformity..
The Gambling Industry, the "Adult Entertainment" industry, the Nightclub industry-
travel, entertainment, tourism attracts 38 million visitors from all over the world, who spend per capita $1000 bucks a head (38 billion in LV 2005- time magazine-july)
Salloons, Dance Halls, Gambling Palaces. Hotels, Night Clubs, Restaurants. truly a staggering variety for every taste and budget of every visitor, from all walks of life..
To restrict or limit the growth of this wholly service sector based economy would kill the goose that laid the golden egg. You want religion- move to salt lake. Leave "PartyTown" alone..Las Vegans are religious- by the way- families want their kids to know that there is the kids world, and the adult world, and a. dont mix the 2; and b. there is lots to do in NV besides sex, drugs, gambling, and prostitution
12. Travel and Tourism (TNT)- Personally as a midwesterner, of modest suburbia upbringing in a stereotypical 2-parent, (post)nuclear family- 2 cars, and all- I plan to elplore Nevada's wild wild West roots, and history- ghost towns, abandoned mines, rail museums. I want to take in the Reno Air Races, Enjoy Snow-covered Lake Tahoe, visit the "ponderosa"; Visit the infields and pits of Nevadas motorpsorts events- Nascar, Indy cars, Drag racing; Motorcycle racing, Speed boat racing, and Airplane racing- a gearheads paradise- and an endless summer to tinker with things that go fast, and make a lot of noise, and lots of rural flat, deserted roads to do it on..safely, or course- helmet optionalll
13.Miscellaneous- If I had all the money in the world, and all the time in the world to spend it- this is what i would do,personally- resurrect, restore, and fly the "TombRaider"- that B-29 sitting at the bottom of Lake Mead-in about as good a shape as you will find a 60 year old aircraft still in existence. I would recruit kids of all ages, high-school "buzz-Lightyear wannabes"; Aviation Engineering College students, or any body else who spent way too much time building model airplanes, and who always deramed of building the real deal- to come out to what I would call "Area 51(too), hanger 19; and help our next generation of future Chuck Yeagers and the 7 mercury astronauts develop the "Right Stuff" to take Americas Space program "To infinity and Beyond!"
Then when I got done with that....I would be the next Leland Stanford, and build the "Virginia, Truckee, and Las Vegas" real live, steam fired Railroad (coal and wood fueled) running Railfan tourist excursions from Reno to Kingman AZ. This would have several historical railroad eras represented- the old west-like the Denver-Rio Grande silverton excursion line- to the Steam powered peak of luxury, and rail travel of the 1940's- a luxury, casino, dining train- of the finest 40's vintage pullman cars available- or newer AMTRAK cars would do in a pinch; to even having 50's vintage diesel locomotive service. Having gambling Casino Railroad excursion rail tourism would likely be financially self sufficient- as foreign visitors would enjoy this authentic part of American History. heck- we could even through in a staged train robbery, completw with Jesse james, and Butch Cassidy/sundance Kid/ Wild bunch Reenactors, chased off by horse back riding Wyatt Earp brothers.. Hey- its my vision- ill make it up as I go along...but if you dont build it, they wont come...
14. Communication/Internet infrastructure- WIFI hotspots overlapping all over the strip area, greater cell tower coverage, Fiber-optic internet service, cable coverage, Satellite up links..So that even the remotest location in the Nevada "wilderness" will be able to do business in the global economy..
theres lots more to follow, but we'll conclude with this parting shot:
15. Free Beers for Nevada. (Not Really) but Bob Beers is an old school McCarthy/Wallace bean-counting tightwad who wants to hold Nevada back from those "evil Californian left coasters ruining Nevada"; who are fleeing the Smog, the high cost of living, the high cost of doing business, and all those people who run own and control everything in the entertainment industry (and international banking cartels too?) who are corrupting and poisoning the hearts and minds of ameircas youth, causing all the social problems that a little more parental attention would go a long ways towards solving.
And every other narrow minded, bigoted xenophobe conservative dittohead like him too...Not everyone has the luxury of growing up in a 2 parent normal nuclear family, like I was blessed by, and not everyone wants to walk the straight and narrw- the wild side is more fun,and you only live once... I suspect that Bob Beers, with his dislike of the California/ hollywood lifestyle may be harboring latent anti-semitic sentiments that he is either conscious or worse- unaware of.
Wake up BOB!- smell the columbian coffee, grown by those hoards of little brown men- Juan Vladez, and his non-english speaking, taco grubbing, pot smoking, coca chewing burro riding buddies, and tequila distiling pal Jose cuervo, and Jesus and Maria, changing water into Corona, dos equess, , and Modelo beer.
Its a global economy- I'm not exactly thrilled, but even dinosaurs like you and Harry callahan have to adapt, or extinct. The changes this world has gone through in the last 46 years- from monkeys in sputnik to men in space stations; from commodore64s to laptops with more computing power than all of america in the 50's. and the Internet- with the ability to help orchestrate a Governors campaign of a big-boobed asian porn star from a running joke in page 7 of the local bar guide magazine to a global News story on the APwire "NEVADA GOVERNORS RACE WIDE OPEN", from 2100 miles away with a university public access computer terminal, and a bookbag (see what a public school education can do for you?) Only in 21st century america. And I figure I have at best another 20 years ot go...Imagine the possibilities...
Any way- everybody. chew on this- and see what you can spit out- its only a 3rd draft; subject to voters approval, and revision. Yes- it may cost some money; but think of it as an investment in your childrens future- surely you dont want toscrimp on a few dollars and shortchange your childrens future? and dont forget- how are you going tofinance your reitrement when all the jobs are no longer in america? A small price to pay indeed. Look at the benefits of the Manhattan projcet- the moon-shot? the space program. The North Koreans, and the "goat-ropers" are all gunning for us. be ready and win, or lose, and die. makes it a no-brainer, dont it?
But if even Steven Spielberg could forgive Oscar Schindler, then perhaps there is hope for the BOB Beers and Mel gibsons of the world...Repent of your sins, and god will forgive you...
This is submitted with a tongue-in cheek approach, due to the fact that your average citizens eyes glaze over from too many facts and figures in this MTV/sound-bite pop-culture we live in today. A little humor peppered liberally goes a long way..
