Having won elections and battles against Republicans countywide, Commissioner Harper and the mayor of Portage set sights on Mayor Jon Costas. Costas was shooting for an infusion for purchase of buses for Valparaiso's Chicago Dash bus service. Staying the course on anti-growth or regional connections, Harper moved quickly to shoot down the request.
No, I know some of our readers are anti-tax and anti-regionalism as well. So I won't spend a lot of time discussing the merits of regionalism or RDA or even NRPC. But I will comment that this is the first time we see Portage's Mayor aligning with her party since the ill-fated "Murphy Plan" last year. She was aligned with Mayor Costas in support of staying in the RDA, but now votes to shoot down bus purchases for Valparaiso.
A good political move for Olga?
The start of her re-election campaign, and trying to get the RDA off her back?
