Little Cal water levels jump -- Munster Flood Again? Where is Daddy Mac When You Need Him?

The McDermotts, baby Tommy and his father the biggest tax cheat in Lake County, are now trying to get new employment for Daddy Tommy with Cabellas or the Town of Munster.  Read the following story from the local paper:

Little Cal water levels jump after discharge.

Cabellas was build by little Tommy after the father made hundreds of thousands of dollars consulting to Cabellas obviously without any conflict of interest.  By the way, so was the flimflam lawyer Joe Allegretti.  But daddy went through the money like it was candy and now he is broke again.  If you have any doubt, just see the property tax debt he owes the County.  He also cannot pay it and he blatantly lied to cover up what he owed.  He than presented a scam that: he was late, or it was under review, or that he had a sugar-high and forgot.  But low and behold one of Baby Mac's Department Heads was taking care of it with Lake County while Baby Mac was Democratic Chairman.  No wonder Mr. White does not want to front these thieves any more money.  In this Country, even billionaires occasionally go to jail.

So the new plan is to flood the Town of Munster again.  Hammond and Cabellas did that two years ago.  The only way the Munster can get out of this problem is to hire Daddy McDermott as a flood consultant.  (Or maybe Munster can get Cabellas to hire Daddy Mac as an "hydrologist"?)  Now I can guarantee all the citizens of Munster that as long as they pay Daddy Mac to be a consultant not a drop of flood water will ever enter Munster again.  (By the way, it will be cheaper than the alternative.)

Speaking of little Mac and corruption, I am wondering what Baby Mac is doing about those ATM machines that are all around Hammond Government buildings that were given free placement to one of the Baby's friend?  Was not the Hammond Sanitary District enough of a place for someone to steal from? 

Another Brass Ring for Gary?

Am I the only one who sees the none-sense is this Times editorial about the Genesis Center in Gary?

Genesis Center to Lead Gary Revival.

This is just not going to happen.  For twenty plus years, everything has been tried without any success and Gary has sunk almost as low as it can go.  I am sure the consulting group will enjoy their retainer and Gary will be that much poorer (financially).  But, what is it about no one has any desire to come to Gary, that Gary's politicians do not understand?  Nothing that in human imagination can be done with the Genesis Center, or anything else in Gary, which will attract the citizens of the rest of the County to go there.

Most citizens will prefer to pay for a ride to Ft. Huachucka, Arizona than go to Gary.

Now if Gary is handing out gold coins with dump Obama on them, that will attract people.  How that is economic development can at least be argued and debated, which is more than can be said for the "new" Genesis plan.
