Tom John Admits, but Spins, on Firings
From Indiana Barrister:
On the Republican side, Chairman Tom John tells me there are some differing opinions with regards to the race for Attorney General. According to John, Marion County will back Costas with a solid majority, but there have been those Republicans backing Zoeller, the most notable is Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi. Some pundits are accusing John of playing hardball by forcing delegates to sign oaths that they would support Costas and retaliating against those who don’t get on board. John says his job as County Chairman is to back the Governor’s pick, but anyone who has lost a party position, as of late, has been more about competency than politics.
Interesting that he spins on loyalty oaths, strong-arming, and reprisal firings, but doesn't deny that he fired anyone, eh?
There's no denying the Indianapolis Way.
