I Don’t Care Who You Are
but this story on Frugal Hoosiers is funny:
Last week, we told you that one-time Democrat gubernatorial candidate Jim Schellinger and his architecture firm CSO were partnering with Gov. Daniels and the state to rebuild the Moscow Covered Bridge. At the end of the post, we noted that “there’s still no word on whether the Schellinger will be endorsing Jill Long Thompson in her bid to unseat Daniels this fall.”
We’ve finally learned the answer to that question, courtesy of Ruth Holladay:
who sez:
Citizens of Rush County are very sentimental about the covered bridge in Moscow that was swept away by a tornado in June.
Hence they are tickled that Gov. Mitch Daniels came calling last week to announce that the bridge will be rebuilt (using private money).
What did not make as big a splash is the identity of the architectural firm handling the project. It just happens to be CSO Architects, which is owned in part by Jim Schellinger. Last time we heard much about Schellinger is when he was running for governor on the Dem ticket in the primary. Although he had his party’s official backing, he was beaten by Jill Long Thompson, also a Dem.
To add insult to injury, Schellinger’s firm will also be holding a fund-raiser for Daniels, whose campaign is already flush.
For those of you non-Hoosiers, Schellinger ran for Governor in the Democrat primary and lost to Jill “Nobody in Indiana is stupid enough to elect me, but I’ll run anyway!” Long Thompson.
Go, Mitch, go!
