Money Matters
It’s amazing what you come across when you’re playing on the Internet and scanning through local campaign finance reports. For the record, I do have a life, I was just killing time before meeting up with friends for cocktails.
You come across the usual things; Greg Ballard raised more than $1.3 million in 2009, with about half the donations being between $250 and $750. John Layton, Democratic candidate for Sheriff had $108,000 in cash on hand, etc. etc. But there were also some other interesting tidbits. For example…
- Up until December 2008 it looked like County Auditor Billie Breaux was raising money for a run for Treasurer.
- Former City-County Councilman Ike Randolph still has City-County Council political action committee.
- Up until he got out of the race for Sheriff Kerry Forestal raised $88,000.
- Frank Anderson’s “exploratory committee” for something raised about $13,000.
- The fund raising arm of the Marion County Republican Party pulled in about $33,000 last year. The Marion County Democrats fund raising arm didn’t do anything in 2009.
- And believe it or not, former Indy Mayoral candidate Jocelyn Adande still has a Mayor political action committee. It’s empty, but still there. Insert your own joke here.

I?m unsure of my own stance on commenting. Sometimes I feel its watch shameless self-promotion for most people, but then at other times I feel watch somewhat guilty for consuming some fantastic content without contributing my thoughts to the topic.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
