WHAT DOES HAMMOND INDIANA & THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY HAVE IN COMMON?

We have loads of friends all over the State of Indiana. We marched in Indianapolis over property taxes and recently marched together on April 15, 2010 in Washington, DC. Seems like we all have more in common then we knew.

You be the judge:

The lawyer for a former northwestern Indiana mayor says a federal court order that he and two former employees pay $108 million in civil damages is "uncollectable."

A federal judge issued the order Thursday in a racketeering lawsuit filed by the state, claiming that former East Chicago Mayor Robert Pastrick and others spent $24 million in public money on private driveways, patios and walkways to court voters in 1999.

Is former mayor Pastrick a friend of our Mayor England?

Has any of our money been used in New Albany for personal or political favors?

Did you donate to the England campaign to get a personal favor?

Attorney General Greg Zoeller said his office will "dedicate all necessary efforts" collecting the judgement.
