Dumb and Dumber

22. February 2008 by Greg Kelver.

As a long time observer of some of the clowns we manage to put in office, it looks like the new LaPorte City Council will be worth watching for some comic relief over the coming years.  Only two months into a four year term and some of our elected finest are already raising the bar for bipartisan silliness. The entire state is pretty much in flames but with a bit of delusional self importance, Councilman Heichel has the latest gem with his feel-good, do-nothing resolution to let state legislators know how the LaPorte City Council feels about the property tax mess http://www.heraldargus.com/main.asp?SectionID=4&SubSectionID=4&ArticleID=2260 

 Apparently the bright bulbs on the LaPorte City Council feel that by unanimously passing their resolution, the waters will part so Democrats and Republicans down in Indy will join in a bipartisan legislative lovefest to magically pass some wonderful legislation that will fix the property tax disaster they have been cheerfully creating for decades. 

 Wakeup Dorothy -State Legislators already know how we feel but they are pretty much clueless about how to fix it.  However LaPorte County Taxpayers already know exactly who is going to get screwed when the session is over and the ugly bipartisan lovechild finally emerges.
