the times editorial board you know what i'm so glad you brought that up because i read over the weekend there their priorities and i've talked to chris white today did you read that that's why i'm calling yes i did who are those people i have never read such an inane ten glamour ation of dreams thoughts and ideas based completely completely removed from the reality of economics the one that got the one that put me over the captive i don't know if you have it there i have a right in front of me i was going to talk about i can't believe you bringing this up go ahead governor the one regarding medical health in the state of indiana i don't mean to i want to get this one hundred percent right they believe their wine is indiana needs to ramp up the production of doctors and physicians assistants or some terminology like that the state of indiana needs to ramp up the production of doctors and would love to sit down with nangle and the rest of these guys and ask them exactly how the state creates more doctors we're not making widgets we're making back i have never read a conglomeration of ideas that were completely devoid of reality let's pick one all right here's the thing on the medic medical is a think the times has an editorial board and they've come out with some agenda for twenty fourteen build infrastructure renuart funding restructure county government implement the market plan improve the region's health  ears are unhealthy in north indiana residents are worse off than the average hoosier proving our health begins with improving access to health care that comes in many forms indiana should expand medicaid what do you have a problem with that part well because there are costs of medicaid will never the government says they're going to take care of the costs for the first of with two or three years then the states will only be responsible for ten percent if you read the whole thing and i don't mean to just step on the medical thing but if you read that whole thing they're talking about leveraging federal money they talk about gary needs the money to tear down they can how they can structures and then reason like in the business section of the same paper that the national debt is at seventeen point two trillion dollars they seem to divorce themselves from reality the editorial board doesn't it's nothing there's nothing wrong with having a wish list but i have never read something that was so completely devoid of actual facts figures numbers sources of revenue none of this is based in reality it would be like that view j o b s and yeah you know what we want to go out and build this huge structure and we're going to put up a tower that slices stahl and we're going to hire seven hundred salesman but we've got no money i didn't i would want to i would love to sit  right now thank you i appreciate your bringing up well first of all baker and i were in business here for a while here with the calumet press and he basically just told everybody our business plan your business plan times it's the forum and it says the times editorial boards agenda for two thousand and fourteen who is the times editorial board what does that mean chris white is a new publisher he's from out of town he's come in i took me upstairs and spot he took master that comes in and works for the big conglomerate got it so he's been here for six months got it who's the next guy that may have a bill nagel he can the guy behind it he's running the show he's been there since one nine hundred seventy two so he's the status quo if there ever was one with us you got i don't want to go through this deborah and song made these are the people that write the articles and have the things that go in the newspaper that this is where the majority of the people that live in our area are getting their information from ok build a transportation infrastructure replacing the klein avenue bridge extending the south shore line to dire and building the iliana i think those are what's wrong with those priorities what i mean those are most important infrastructure issues i think not i think you just went through a major one in just taking care of what we've guy i mean i've had numerous conversations at least personally and you know one thing i try to be is you know is consistent so regardless of who might ha conversation or the venue it this is pretty much it you know i will chime in on that you are consistent because every time the bill comes for drinks there's in the bathroom that alligator are your need or at the right time i mean always go ahead really so you know it really kind of boils down to i'm of the opinion that i'm on the minority with regards to th personally it's a jobs program and you know i understand all the unions are going to be for it because they're going to be for any project that puts their guys to work i get it the concern is is you know what are we going to be able to gain by doing half of what is it a half a billion dollars to take it down to die or how is that going to improve i mean i've listened to a number of you know speeches and i've i've read some articles and you know again they're talking about the economics and we don't have to have any more taxes and i think the majority of people that pay attention to this that's a crock i mean they might not need any initially but you still got to take care of it you still are going to have to be able to maintain it you're still going to have to be able to continue to do the things you're going to do in the premise is we're going to have people here working in chicago well if you and i want to work in chicago we're going to try to the train station we're going to get in the car i mean yeah but and i'm going to change it i mean other spur isn't going to change the human animals perspective of how to get there i'm ok there's two different issues here there's the cost issue and then there is the content of whether you know that a collision whether we should have people drive living in dire st john schererville complement driving to a station there and then going downtown there's no doubt in my mind that if we do build it it will build up those areas with higher paying jobs in the city they'll bring using the extension and taking on i just i'm amazed still something that just you know it's nice if they mentioned it that for me would be a you know that's a priority list and bigger fish and see  government through layers and layers and layers of government very size of all the officers down you know in county in crown point and the inability to do so much from the internet to all of them because there's no consistency when you go times along the lines of municipal government city as one mayor but the county counterpart is three commissioners are too many elected bureaucrats you know why do we have treasurer auditor assessor and recorder all elected hoa hypocritical isn't this the same group that advocated for the county option income tax isn't this the one that's looking to fund the status quo of what we've already got so how can you go about and just throw that out i think that's a giveaway as it pertains to that article i mean they're not planning on anything changing as it relates to how things are governed around here because who's going to change it the people that are in there like you getting me know and as long as two out of ten voters show up that's going to you know the answer of it's all about the voters is not going to necessarily be something that is going to provide any real change because if we continue to have two out of ten show up every election the machine wins
