The latest line of attack from Zoeller supporters goes something like this: "OK, Costas did a good job in Valparaiso, but it's just a little town of 28,000. State government is a big thing; there's more than one stoplight in Indianapolis after all."
Aside from the obvious insult to most Hoosiers, who live in cities of Valparaiso's size or smaller, it's simply not true. Compare the budgets:
And Costas is the leader of the city, not the #2. The City of Valparaiso has 240 people, runs 24/7, responds to emergencies (fires, blizzards), sells millions of gallons of water, and builds millions of dollars of construction each year. But that's not all. Costas spent 10 years managing the family business of 340 people.
The Attorney General's office is smaller than both the City of Valparaiso and Jon's family supermarkets.
In related news, Jon was endorsed today by the delegate who publishes Welcome To My Tea Party.
And Jon called for an end to any "strong-arming" on Brian Jennsen's blog, Indy Conservative Hardball. I wonder when Greg Zoeller will call for an end to the attacks and poorly-researched venom thrown at Jon Costas. Probably no time soon. The Post-Tribune reported yesterday:
I wonder if even Banks believed his bloggers' attacks?

The most effective device for the Zoeller campaign, [Zoeller Campaign Chairman
Jim] Banks said, has been political blogs.
