    V14 N13 Thursday, Nov. 1, 2007 Peterson taxed in the crosshairs Reaction to property taxes has mayor fighting for political life By BRIAN A. HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS - Mayor Bart Peter- son appears to be in the fight of his political life with the underfunded, Republican Greg Ballard despite the party hierarchy’s lack of interest in the race. An Indianapolis Star/WTHR poll showed Peterson with a 43-39 percent lead. Marion County Democratic Chairman Mike O’Connor called the poll flawed, saying the Star originally told Peterson he had a 2 per- cent lead. O’Connor declined to release the campaign’s internal polling.

    Remembering William H. Hudnut, III An Interview with Senator Richard G. Lugar RICHARD G. LUGAR AND ERIC SANDWEISS ABSTRACT: After the death of William H. Hudnut, III, on December 18, 2016, Indiana Magazine of History editor Eric Sandweiss interviewed Senator Richard Lugar about his mem- ories of Hudnut. Bill Hudnut moved to Indianapolis in 1964 to become pastor of Second Presbyterian Church. In 1972, he began his political career with one term in the U.S. Congress and then became mayor of Indianapolis, serving from 1976 to 1992. Lugar reflected on his early political contacts with Hudnut, while Lugar was still Indianapolis’s mayor, and then commented extensively on Hudnut’s career as mayor, in par- ticular his plans for developing the city’s downtown area and transforming Indianapolis into the “amateur sports capital of the world.” KEYWORDS: William Hudnut III, Richard Lugar, Indianapolis, mayors, Republican Party, UNIGOV, Richard Nixon, Pan American Games, Indianapolis Colts ormer Indianapolis Mayor William H.

Arriving in Indianapolis in 1964, Hudnut served as minister of Second Presbyterian Church until 1972, when he ran successfully as a Republican for a seat in Indiana’s 11th Congressional District. Defeated in his reelection bid two years later, Hudnut next set his sights on the mayor’s office.

    V14 N6 Thursday, Sept. 20, 2007 Indiana’s antiestablishment era Both 2007 and 2008 could be brutal for the status quo By BRIAN A. HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS - For Bart Peterson, Al Huntington, Kevin Smith, Stephen Luecke, Wayne Seybold and other incumbent mayors, these are nervous days. They are incumbent mayors on the ballot in times when Hoosiers have taken to the streets, the council chambers, even taunting mayors in their own front yards, to protest high taxes and the escalating cost of government. They watched 11 incumbent mayors fall in the May pri- mary. There has been scant polling data this cycle, though WISH- TV polled Indianapolis Mayor Peterson’s race with Republican Greg Ballard and found him to have a 52-38 percent lead, which was virtually the same as a GOP poll in August. But Ballard has had scarce resources and his only ads, which he has not confirmed are officially from his campaign, have appeared on YouTube. That could change as Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi and power attorney Bob Grand hold a big fundraiser for Ballard next Monday Thompson is leading establishment Democrat guber- at Grand’s home.

  • Taking Charge of Choice 1
    Taking Charge of Choice 1 Taking Charge of Choice: New Roles for New Leaders Claire Smrekar1, Ph.D. Madeline Mavrogordato, Doctoral Student Vanderbilt University May, 2011 Abstract: This paper examines the policy context of charter school adoption and implementation in Indianapolis -- the only city in the U.S. with independent mayoral authorizing authority. Our study identifies specific implications of this hybrid of mayoral control, including expanded civic capacity and innovation diffusion across Indianapolis area public school systems. This qualitative study utilizes over 30 in-depth interviews conducted with key stakeholders. Legislative, state, and school district documents and reports were analyzed for descriptive evidence of expanded civic capacity, school innovation, and charter/non- charter school competitive pressures. The case of Indianapolis reframes the mayoral role in education reform, and expands the institutional framework for charter school authorizing. Keywords: school choice, mayoral control, urban education reform 1 This was presented at the American Educational Research Association 2011 Annual Conference, April 7- 12, New Orleans, Louisiana.
