Looks like Greg Ballard may have some competition for his job.

And to that, I say GOOD.

And in another encouraging development, which happened last week I guess, Ed DeLaney has filed papers to run for mayor. While I don't know how well this will work with his seat in the General Assembly (where he is one of the few voices of common sense), but if he can pull double-duty, I think he would be an excellent choice as well.

I don't know what the answer to the violence in Indy is, but I do know it won't be solved by bike lanes and cricket fields. In my time here, Ballard has never impressed me with his leadership skills, other than the ceremonial.

1. I'm not in Indianapolis and don't know that much about either of them...

but I would think Hogsett has greater name recognition and will run as a crime fighter. From the WISH TV piece, all the major state Dems seem to be supporting him already. And I seem to recall reading somewhere that Evan Bayh may have leftover campaign money he can give him.
