| Councillor Jefferson Shreve |
Yesterday, Jefferson Shreve was elected by Republican precinct committeepersons to serve out the remaining time on Jeff Cardwell's Council seat. That only tells part of the story. For the rest, I will urge you to go to Gary Welsh's blog and read the rest. I will also direct you to my friend Paul Ogden's blog for more of a follow-up.
The gist is that Welsh raises serious questions about Shreve's Marion County residency. Shreve defeated a longtime Perry Township Republican, Michael Kalscheur. Kalscheur is a Perry Township Advisory Board member and also ran for At-Large City-County Council in 2011. According to Welsh, Shreve only recently started attending GOP functions in Perry Township and yet somehow gained the support of the Ballard Administration and Cardwell. Did we mention he has deep pockets?
Oh the intrigue...read the reporting. It's well done.

When you vote you affirm under oath that you are a resident at where you vote. If Shreve voted down there in Monroe County in the last two years, I'd say he has a big problem meeting the two year residency requirement for council. He might also be taking a homestead tax deduction down there which would be illegal if he didn't reside there.
Like Welsh or not, the fact is he does some detailed investigative reporting in many of his articles. I generally can't match the info he brings to the table.
Gary Welsh wants to be Brian Howey when he grows up.
Thats probably never going to happen.Gary is full of too much hate to be objective.
Oh...I don't know Anonymous, the tidbits presented as facts are pretty compelling when you read the piece.
