IBM Ordered to Pay $78 Million to the State Ending Decade Long Lawsuit
Both parties filed breach complaints, and the Marion Superior Court initially determined modernization’s failure was not a breach of IBM’s contract. Instead, the state was ordered in 2012 to pay IBM $49.5 million for the costs of equipment and assignment fees.
Barnes & Thornburg attorneys John Maley and Peter Rusthoven, counsel for the state in the IBM litigation, released a statement Wednesday afternoon saying they are pleased with the court’s ruling.
The State, i.e. FSSA, ended up suing IBM to recover under the contract. IBM countersued, claiming that the State breached the contact through its termination. But who does the Daniels' administration insist the State hire to represent the State? None other than Barnes & Thornburg the very law firm that represented ACS in lobbying to get the contract and still represents ACS to this day.
Let me summarize what appears to have happened. ACS lobbies state officials to oust IBM so ACS can have the lucrative Medicaid privatization contract to itself. ACS eventually succeeds. The State sues IBM, perhaps to counter the inevitable breach of suit IBM was about to file. After, IBM sues, the State hires Barnes & Thornburg, ACS's attorney to represent the state.
The State appears to be nothing more than a proxy for ACS. This case is essentially ACS v. IBM, yet we taxpayers are on the hook to pay Barnes & Thornburg, ACS' attorneys, $9.6 million. That is uttterly outrageous.
Given that federal money here is involved, I too wonder why there has not been a federal investigation opened up by the FBI into this matter. There certainly should be now that the facts here expose troubling, if not illegal, conduct by government officials and private lobbyists.

The Resurgent’s Erick Erickson’s Political Schizophrenia
I'm supporting Donald Trump for re-election. I'm also supporting @justinamash and donated to his campaign just now. We need people like Amash in the House of Representatives who are willing to stand up for smaller government and principle.

WTTV Interview w/Fred Glynn
After an often bitter and contentious campaign full of scandals and accusations, Carmel voters will head to the polls Tuesday for the municipal primary.
Mayor Jim Brainard is seeking a seventh term in office, but has faced controversy in recent weeks after his Republican primary opponent Fred Glynn accused the Brainard campaign of bribery.
Brainard has also been accused of misconduct in recent weeks by the city's clerk-treasurer who is supporting Glynn in the primary. Brainard has denied the accusations, but would not agree to do an interview about the campaign and the controversies that have emerged in recent weeks.
Brainard was first elected mayor in 1995, and since then has led the suburban Indiana city through a period of unprecedented growth and development.
In the video above, we ask Glynn about the tone of this year's race and his hopes for Tuesday's primary.
We would like to encourage all our readers to go out and support Fred Glynn for Carmel Mayor. Let’s win this one for Gary Welsh!

Kara Kenney’s Reports On Fred Glynn’s Challenge to Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard
“We need to stop racking up debt and stop pushing for density,” Glynn said. “What is Carmel going to look like in 10 years? That’s the question.”
Glynn pointed to public private projects, such as hotels, that are paid for with city bonds.
“We’ve got to stop giving our money away to developers,” Glynn said.
Glynn shared a 2017 report from S&P Global that said Carmel’s long-term debt grew by over $300 million in just three years.
“The annual debt costs are already high, and are estimated to grow 71% by 2022,” read the report. “The city doesn’t have a high reserve cushion, relative to the size of annual debt services, to carry it through extended stressful periods.”
“My concern is we’re racking up the credit card and the credit card is maxed out,” Glynn said. “That debt has got to be paid.”
“Do you want to be surrounded by apartments and have development shoved down your throat or do you want someone who is going to work with the community and consider every stakeholder that's involved,” said Glynn. “That's what kind of leader I will be. "
Glynn said if elected, this is what he plans to accomplish in his first 100 days in office:
- Host the first-ever small business advisory committee summit to advise the mayor’s office on the needs the city’s small business owners.
- Implement a 180-day freeze on new downtown development to allow for a long-range traffic and population density study.
- Send a priority-based, truly balanced budget to the Carmel City Council.
- Sign an executive order to provide funding to hire additional police officers.
- Send a debt-reduction plan to the city council that implements a plan to reduce the city’s long-term debt by 20 percent by the end of my first term.
- Sign an executive order immediately halting future city government giveaways and subsidiaries to private development projects.
- Send the city council a resolution to freeze the pay of all city-wide elected officials for the next four years.
- Sign an executive order that strengthens sexual harassment policies for city workers and officials that includes harsher punishment for violators.
- Have neighborhood liaisons in every neighborhood in this city and meet quarterly. We will once again put focus on our communities instead of focusing all resources and effort on a few square blocks downtown.
