13 Investigates is now questioning tens of thousands of jobs, and the state doesn't want to answer.

Thanks for the heads up LCP.

Surprise, surprise, surprise in my best Gomer Pyle voice. Is it any wonder of all the jobs Indiana has reported being here is actually 40% less that never showed up? Yet they claim them as being here in empty fields, buildings?

No wonder golden boy Mitch Roob is heading that part of daddy's state up. Roob is the one that screwed up the welfare making it private taking it away from the state's responsibility. Now he won't release the state year end report of the companies that have relocated here or will be? Citing 'that is confidential information' or that daddy won't give an interview on the jobs he says he has brought but hasn't?

I was waiting on good ole Marion to be mentioned about the 400 companies wayne has brought here according to his interview on Fox News awhile back. wayne hope you were watching channel 13 news if daddy's neck in close to the noose yours could be too.

At least somebody has undercovered the crooked deals going on in Indiana besides good ole marionpedia folks.

Did anybody else notice the big red dot on Grant County when the map of phantom jobs was shown?

Here is the link to the full story:

the mayor has bragged about bringing in over a billion dollars to Marion---isn't anyone interested where it was spent?

i mean really---it is not going to the schools, streets or betterment of the city---

it really would be nice to see where that Billion came from and where it went!

i have a feeling it has something to do with those 'jobs' and IWU alumni!

again i ask---CAN WE FIND ANYONE TO OPEN SHOP IN MARION INDIANA WHO IS NOT IWU ALUMNI AND WHO WE DO NOT HAVE TO ACTUALLY 'LOAN' THEM MILLIONS TO ACTUALLY GET STARTED?

you give me 3 million dollars i will hire 100 people tomorrow with full benefits--and they will all be local!

Sure did LCP, and also noticed the lack of a big red headline in the rag this morning. This is not newsworthy in Grant Co/Marion.

Which reminds me- where's the Seybold accident follow-up, crooks and liars? Probably hired the Millers to dig a really big hole.

But, I thread jump.

This Roob(as in rube) had his smug little veil on, but he did make our potential 2012 presidential candidate
look like both these Mitches are interchangeable. Gotta be some consequence for that, surely.

Hope CH 13 stays on this for some truth for a change.

The two Mitches can't get their stories straight. But, Channel 13 pledges to keep following the story about the jobs that never were or will be. I'm sure that Marion will soon become part of this story.

As a longtime resident of the city of Marion, I hope they do stay on this story, LCP. The only thing better would be for a national network to pick up the story.

Seems to me Roob has "earned" another promotion out of this-the Peter Principle at it's finest:

The theory that employees within an organization will advance to their highest level of competence and then be promoted to and remain at a level at which they are incompetent.

1. FSSA
2. Indiana Economic Development Corporation

Both of these failures in 2yrs.
