With Terry Stoffel heading up to Whitley County's Lincoln Day Dinner on Friday night, featuring the Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett, what are the odds we'll see a post like this on the Stoffel for Sheriff Facebook page on Saturday?
"Had dinner last night with the Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Tony Bennett. Got alot of insight for the Sheriff's race. Offered his support and we are planning to meet again to go over some strategy points. Great guy!"

With my 15 years experience in the Treasurer’s Office, eight of which I was the Treasurer; I felt my knowledge of the tax side combined with the check and balance of the financial side would make a good fit to enable me to run for Office of Huntington County Auditor.
We’ve seen many changes with taxes since 2003. I’ve been on the front line trying to help people understand how taxes have evolved into what they are today. The education of taxes has always been a responsibility I took seriously, so that people could understand what is going on. If there were exemptions that could lower taxes, I’d always point it out.

Is closing the auditor's office (Kathy Juillerat) for a super bowl party really true? If so, it is an extreme case of arrogance. To flaunt such behavior indicates no inhibition what so ever in what usually is paramount and patriotic---the appearance of an ethically run public office. The entrenched political families of this community routinely behave in ways that would embarrass people of proper ethical upbringing.Posted at 02:48 PM | Permalink | Comments (8) | TrackBack (0)

It now appears the "Real Republicans" have moved what up to now has been a mostly covert battle against the local TEA Party movement, to a more overt operation. What used to be a "just ignore them and they will go away" attitude by the "Real Republicans" has now moved to all out hostility towards the "Not Real Republicans" by the face of the Huntington Republican Party.
Why would they do this you ask? Pretty simple if you think about it. Power! You see an orchestrated effort by the Huntington Republican party to minimize attendance at TEA Party events: "Hey, most of those people were from out of town," or "They scared me with their speeches," are just some of the comments heard from our Huntington Republican elite.

An interesting development: Michael Reagan, the late President Ronald Reagan's son and a respected columnist, has just signed on as Honorary Chairman of the Fair Tax Association. Mr. Reagan joins Joe the Plumber, Chuck Norris, Huckabee, and, most recently Rep. Mark Souder, in his commitment to pushing through legislation to change our broken tax system by enacting the Fair Tax. Said Mr. Reagan:
"Thirty years ago, my father, Ronald Reagan, provided real and positive change for the United States. The Fairfax will provide the same kind of free enterprise-driven economic growth: a simplified tax system (just a postcard!); greatly reduced taxes for honest Americans; with millions of new jobs and a realistic way of dealing with the massive and rapidly growing deficit."

We played Allen County Sheriff Ken Fries' voicemail statement regarding the lunch and non-support/endorsement of Mr. Stoffel on the air tonight so if you didn't get a chance to here it, just click below.
HuntingtonPolitics.com also received three conflict of interest disclosure forms completed by Stoffel during his reign as Police Chief/City Concrete person. These forms were completed for the years 2001, 2002 and 2006. According to the city, there were none to be found for the other four years he moonlighted as Police Chief. Maybe they are out there somewhere, but we didn't get them.

"Here are the lists by years of checks written to Terry Stoffel for Stoffel Concrete for work done at the city in the years requested. I didn't have anything in the year 2000. I also don't have any contracts or written documents to that effect". - Christi Scher, Huntington City Clerk Treasurer
