The New Joke: Ecomonic Development in NWI by The Times Board of Economists

Uncertainty created by the slow pace of the economic recovery, gasoline prices, and the 24/7 news cycle continue to hold back business investment in Northwest Indiana and across the nation, according to the Times Board of Economists.

I love this. You are asking the people who are causing the problem why NWI has a problem. The Times Board of Economists have not idea of what is going on. And if they do, most of them will not dare say it. In my over thirty years of watching NWI political economy, the problem is most of the people sitting around the Times table. If anything of what they are saying has legitimacy then why was there minimal economic investment in NWI ten years ago, or five years ago, or even fifteen to twenty years ago?

The main reason companies will not move here start a business here in any significant number (and by the way Illinois too), is Unions, Corrupt Democrat politics, no available qualified labor, and lack of higher education with any credibility. These factors have not changed for over twenty years and over that twenty years there has been minimal investment in NWI. The only economic item that occurred is gambling and it is sucking what ever is left of economic life out of NWI. And now that is going to go the way of the dodo bird.

Hey Ellsworth There is No Gary Revival

Another Democratic idiot is running for office and the dumb people of Gary are going to believe him again.  Read the following story:

Ellsworth: Gary revival depends on teamwork :: Indiana/Politics/Elections :: Post-Tribune.

This is the same double-talk that all Democrats have been giving for years for not doing anything for the cities or for minorities.  The really sad part is that they buy it.  For 100 years it has not worked; but this time it will.  Why because I say so and I have hope.  The joke is on the citizens of Gary.  Sadly we all suffer for their stupidity.

Radio Guest, Wednesday, on Truth to NWI

Tomorrow, Wednesday, I will be a guest on WJOB, 1230, AM radio at 9:00 am.  I will have an hour to establish and finally inform people what is wrong with NWI and possible solution.  A big job for one hour. 

This will also be the"new" initiation of this blog on NWI Comical Politics.  I have kept a low profile; but I now find that things are so far down that they can only go further down.  I used to think that this is not possible.  But fo rone I was wrong.  So I am back in fight.

House ethics panel investigating Visclosky with Purdue. Merriville Technology Center in Graft

I broke this story over five years ago.  That included Visclosky's theft in colusion with Purdue University and Whitco Industries.
House ethics panel investigating Visclosky.

Now everyone has to admit it is true.  Purdue and Visclosky tried to destroy me personally with attacks by the President and Vice President of Purdue against me personally and harrassing me sexually and religiously.   The President, Jischke, has retired but he should still be investigated for his role in this corruption and why he abruptly resigned from Purdue University.  The fact is as I have pointed out before, he should be in jail after being indicted by a Federal grand jury.  The Vice-President Rollock must be fired for attacking me and attempting to cover up the theft by Visclosky and JIschke.  All the evidence indicates that she was in collusion with the powers destroy me personally and professionally so that I would stop complaining about Visclosky's bogus use of Federal Tax Dollars.

Finally the truth comes out that Visclosky and Purdue's president Jiscke are tied as thieves through the Purdue Foundation.

When is the current President going to come clean on the theft by the Purdue Foundation and Visclosky through the Merriville Technology Center?  Visclosky worked for Whitco Industries with the assistance of Purdue University Foundation to steal over $7 million from the taxpayer.  This was all part of a plan to enrich the Foundation, President Jischke, and Whitco Industries, which it did.

Remember the Purdue Foundation is like the East Chicago Foundations not open to public scrutiny.   Even though Purdue is a public institution the Foundation is closed.  Just like East Chicago and they steal and enrich themselves in the same way.

Visclosky needs to be voted out of office and the Indiana State Legislature take a close look at how the Purdue Foundation has been stealing money under false pretense from the Hoosier Tax payers.

Not-for-profit E.C. Health Clinic Files for Bankruptcy

Only in NWI can this scam happen:
E.C. health clinic faces bankruptcy :: Local News :: Post-Tribune.

This is a not-for-profit organization into which million of dollars have been poured in only a short time.  One hospital alone put in $1million.  The article itself points out that nationally this is as rare as seeing a dinosaur as mayor of East Chicago.

Look who is on the board.  Everyone in Lake County knows what happened.  It is Democratic party Chicago mode of politics and reduction of unemployment: steal the money.  (Stealing includes overpayment of salary or expenses.  It also includes hiring too many political friends and other scams.) 

Nothing here is new.  That is why we need to have NO NEW TAXES.  Actually, all taxes should end in Lake County and we should depend solely on the gambling boats.  The citizens will be amazed how over a year all of NWI problems will be solved if we moved in that direction.

Since million of dollars of state and federal funds came to this clinic, the FBI should be all over this situation.  I am surprised that David Capp, the US Attorney General, has not already filed subpoenas for accounting and bank records.

Salinas: Hammond City Council is Now Banking at People's Bank in Munster

Reminiscent of the idiot E. Chicago State Representative John Aguilera when he claimed a summer home in Munster, Hammond Streets and Sanitation supervisor Al Salinas, who also happens to be a City Councilman, was seen today doing "office work" at the Munster branch of People's Bank.   One must assume that this was official Hammond business.  "Doobie" McDermott's lapdog would never do anything under the table that was not in the Hammond citizens' interest.

Since he had the snow plow truck, with the official Hammond seal, maybe Hammond was helping Munster remove snow around commercial buildings, like banks, since there are so few in Hammond.  It is good to see the Tommy McDermott is being so neighborly.  Maybe it is even possible the Salinas is contributing his time for the better good.

At 11am today, and to this individual's knowledge, still now, Al Salina is sitting in the main office of the Munster Bank, eating cookies and coffee and talking business on his cell phone.  The Hammond City truck is parked in front of the building with the engine running.

It is good to know that this is how a City that is going broke under "doobie" Mcdermott is carrying on business.  It is important to note, THERE IS A BRANCH OF PEOPLE'S BANK IN HAMMOND, ON INDIANAPOLIS BOULEVARD.

But if you were loafing and wasting the taxpayer's money, what better place than Munster.  Just like Aquilera when he claimed the house he owned in Munster was his summer home.

Al Salinas is not bright enough to do this on his own.  He cannot put two sentences together.  He would only do this if he had the protection of "doobie" McDermott.  It is too bad he is not in the fire department than he could collect overtime for his stop at the bank.

(By the way, he did not do any special banking business.  I was in there and he just made a normal transaction with the teller.)

Al Salinas is the reason Hammond is going down the toilet quickly, for its citizens.  The few like him, Salinas, and McDermott will walk away with well filled pockets, like Gary, but the rest of the citizens will curse the day the set eyes on Salinas.

Gary is finished!!!

I will be writing some more about why Gary is finished as a city.   But, in the mean time, I want people to consider a simple question:  Why would anyone in their right faculty move to Gary, either as an individual or as a business?   There is none.  Further, there is not any way to get there.

When the financial report came out, a week ago, it was the last ditch effort to stop the end, that is all.  There is no business development possible in Gary until Gary is gone.  If you actually owned a legitimate business, would you ever move it to Gary when you have the whole State of Indiana, the Midwest, or the United States to choose from.

What does Gary have to offer?  Nothing.  Crime, none existent work force, high taxes, criminals for politicians, no infrastructure, etc.  By the way, all this applies to East Chicago and Hammond -- they are also finished.  Only the gang-bangers and the criminal politicians are left in all those cities and Lake County is not far behind (Merriville is Gary it is breathing its last as we write).

Actually when one thinks about it, Gary's demise is good for everyone.

Referendum Defeat Shows RDA Opposition by All NWI Citizens

Now everyone knows that the RDA was a fraud.  Everyone one the board was on there to steal the money from the citizens of NWI and turn it over to their favorite consultant or other Democratic operative, i.e. politicians.  There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that the RDA has done or will do that will have ANY positive consequence for the economy of NWI.

Referendum defeat steels RDA opposition.

The RDA has been taking millions of dollars out of the pockets of the citizens of Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago.  Let us not forget Lake County also as a whole.  In addition, it has taken millions from Porter County.  All of this has been of no value to any of the citizens, only to the thieves named to the RDA by the Lake County Democratic charlatans.

What does the citizens of Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago have to do with building a railroad to Lowell and Valparaiso?  This is taking money from those who are in need and giving it to the usual thieves of Lake County.  This is being done to the tune of $3.5 million each year, from each community.  What is the economic benefit to the citizens of those communities?  NONE!!!

It is time to remove for malfeasance, incompetency, and general ethical incompetence all the politicians and appointed officials involved with the RDA and RTA.  No one wants them and they are of no use to anyone and have not been since they were created four years ago.

It was all a political trade off with the downstate Republicans as a way for the local Democrats, i.e. Tom McDermott, Jr., to steal more money from the citizens.  It is time to end this charade by voting against all the incumbents now in office.

Barney Frank Present When Partner Arrested for Pot - FOXNews.com

For those of you who think that this sounds familiar you are right.  It is a repeat of what our good Mayor McDermott has done.  As I understand, his favorite source for pot is now under indictment and trial.  The State Police caught the supplier and his family.   McDermott and his "colleague" the postman are now in a real fix.  The Lake County Prosecutor Carter is now looking for a way out to find the postman innocent so that McDermott will not go after him personally. 

This is what McDermott promised to do in his conversation with the Lake County Sheriff.  Now why is McDermott not being charged and has not been indicted?  That is right Tommy Mac is just like Barney Frank.  They are an exact duplicate of each other, in every way.

The Times Supports McDermott

The Times newspaper has decided to take a stand in support of Tom McDermott, Jr.'s shenanigans.  I provided the readers and citizens of NWI the best documentation and information I had so they could educate themselves and to make an intelligent decision as to the personality and morality of the Mayor who has his hands in their pockets (and probably will for the next four years).

The Times has decided to coddle the Mayor and remove any reference to my blog on its newspaper bulletin board.  Specifically, they allowed the thread, "Prof's Blog", to be completely deleted when it referenced my latest outline of emails and accusations that seemed to come from McDermott Jr. ("Purdue and Party Politics, Part V"). I wonder why now?   Especially after all the name calling and accusations they have permitted to be made continuously about me on their very discussion boards.  Does anyone really wonder who owns them, lock stock and barrel?  For the Mayor of Hammond, Indiana, as a public figure who effects all the citizens of NWI and for the NWI paper to seem to collude with him in withholding information, this is true Tribal Politics.  Why does my case keep on being made for me?
