Ballard vs. Peterson revisited

July 24th, 2008 at 3:33 pm by Jim Shella under Jim Shella's Political Blog

The spin machines are in full motion for both Republicans and Democrats in Marion County in anticipation of Mayor Greg Ballard’s first budget.  Budgets are always political documents but this one will be more political than usual based on the buildup.

Look for new accounting methods and the exposure of what the Republicans believe to be poor accounting practices by the administration of Bart Peterson.

Democrats, meantime, should have ample opportunity to question spending levels, the bottom line, and how they compare with cost cutting promises made by Ballard during the 2007 campaign.
