INDIANA PARLEY

The editorial briefs in this morning's Journal-Gazette remarked on another instance of the Richard administration not being at the top of their game in explaining the financing of an administration proposal.

Indiana Parley noted the earlier instances at this post.

The Journal-Gazette editorial comment:

Southtown Centre

Mayor Graham Richard’s administration was surprisingly unprepared to answer some basic questions about financing of the proposed public safety academy during last week’s City Council meeting.

True, some council Republicans have tried to place hurdle after hurdle to block the city’s purchase and development of the old Southtown Mall site. But city officials should have the basic financial details when seeking City Council approval of a $24 million bond.

Expect Richard’s team to be better prepared this week.
