It comes out today that Jim Biggs, Porter County Council candidate, is now supporting the Democrat controlled council in their continued appeal of rulings in court regarding the RDA.
This comes quick on the heels of comments last week by former Commissioner Biggs that he felt the council was moving too quickly and should negotiate instead of spending more money on lawsuits. His opponent, Kevin Tracy, quickly called him out for flip flopping on the RDA issue.

Council seats typically aren't big enough races to warrant a primary poll, but this sure sounds like Mr. Biggs heard some constituents talking. Sadly, I actually agree with Mr. Biggs, that the legislation enabling the RDA was faulty and poorly written. I too think that the RDA should be moved to Portage, should request a new local chairperson, and should get back to doing the business of development projects using federal and state matching funds. But I can't tell where Mr. Biggs stands now?
