More Croynism and nepotism?

It was not my intention to let Indiana Ethics Commission's examination of the new executive of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, go unnoticed. I guess I thought other political bloggers would have highlighted the fact that Michael Cunegin II's wife worked for a non-profit, (the Fort Wayne Women's Bureau), that may benefit from Criminal Justice grants.

According to the Journal-Gazette, "Jason Barclay special counsel to the governor and chairman of the institute board noted that Cunegin's wife works at the Fort Wayne Women's Bureau, which has received grants from the institute in the past."

"After consultation with the ethics commission, and to avoid the appearance of impropriety, the institute has set up a screening process to keep Cunegin out of grant decisions involving that organization. Instead, an outside trustee will make all those decisions."

Cunegin's move has significant political ramifications for Allen County. bold added for emphasis.

Yes sir. I guesss disclosure was important up front for the republican leader, Governor Mitch Daniels rather than later as in the alleged case of Heather Bolejack, former executive director of ICJI.

But Bolejack was no former police officer, or male or married to a raced white male. Yes, I said it, when credibility and credentials was trumped in this debacle targeting a highly accomplished African-American female, the African-Americans women should be outraged.

Yes ma'am and by the way, where is former special counsel to ? Did he think as the right hand man to Governor Daniels, the executive Mr. Jason Barclayposition would have been him or one of his friends? Just wondering outloud, as Mr. Barclay, has left the ICJI building to investigate white collar crime. (Pun not intended.)
