Hello there, why some may or not approve of this purchase or the condition of the city I feel we all need to get off of each others backs and focus on what it will take to change Gary. Granted things, events have occurred that may or may not have contributed to the challenges, but to stick any one man by saying his fault, his fault is ludicrous. I believe that it is a combined attitude fueled by a lack of regulation from the top (meaning the state) not the folks in office at the local level. I could be totally wrong here and sound naive, but my point is rather than play the blame game, why don’t we join hands and in a respectful way offer your suggestions to the folks that can make a difference. I like getting up in the morning knowing that there is hope, not just for Gary, but for our nation, I’m sure Rudy feels the same way, one step at a time guys, better days are coming.

Thank you
Roger Hayward

Hauled ass out of Gary when Hatcher got in, Lived in Porter County until ’73, then made Florida home, reading about Gary every once in a while gives me a good laugh, I am really surprised it’s still a City.

Rudy Clay is just another reason Gary,Indiana is just a slum and a haven for crack dealers and whores. It all started in 1969 when Richard Hatcher became Gary’s first black mayor. In the 1950′s up untill ’69, Gary was a town that was clean and respectable. When Hatcher became mayor, rioting started,looting became rampant and the dregs of society took over a once good place to live and raise a family. If black politicians want to help their fellow citizens, they are gonna have to have morals and ethics. They need only look to our President-Elect. I believe there is going to be a great awakening, and soon. They will not be getting a get-out-of jail free card……just because their skin is black. The very same thing is happening in Memphis, Tennessee and Altlanta,Georgia too. My father, thank God, moved us away from Gary in May of 1970. It is now just a wasteland…….because of greed and a total lack of care…….

Tampa Florida’s mayor Pam Iorio replaced her city-provided Lincoln Town Car with a 2005 Toyota Prius. If mayor Rudy Clay of Gary Indiana wants to buy some pollution credits, Mayor Pam has some ready to sell!

This is what happens when inner city voters are granted voting rights. 90% of all americans should do the 10% of us a favor and not vote…please

He realized a sedan would look ridiculous with some 24′s.

Funny but sad..........
There's a noble idea buy a sedan for 15K and donate the rest for a scholarship to an outstanding graduate of their public school system.
Greed and ego........

Talking heads on radio and TV turn this kind of junk into propaganda in not trusting government in spending your dollars. Sad people like Rudy Clay add to this when in fact underspending of government funds are hurting school environments and human health/social services.
