eric dickerson files bankruptcy

some marion county republicans were disappointed when eric dickerson, who had run against julia carson for congress in 2006, opted not to get into the race again this year. the IBJ reports on a possible reason: dickerson is bankrupt:

Former car dealer and congressional candidate Eric Dickerson has filed for personal bankruptcy after three failed businesses left him saddled with more than $1 million in debt. Dickerson says he is virtually broke save for a $101,000 inheritance he is set to receive from the estate of his late mother. He claims only a few assets, including $10 in cash, 7 cents in a Chase Bank checking account, 25 cents in a Fidelity Investments account, two late-model Chevy trucks worth about $3,000, and a horse, pony and four chickens worth $250. He lives with his girlfriend on a 5-acre spread in Sheridan.

Most of Dickerson’s debts are connected to businesses he formerly owned—a Buick dealership on North Keystone Avenue in Indianapolis, a collision-repair center in Westfield and a Maggie Moo's ice cream shop in Circle Centre mall.

Isn't it odd that neither Gary Welsh or Darla Williams have used their blogs to cover this sad ending to their enthusiastic support of Dickerson's desperate campaign for Congress? When Eric was running, it was obvious he was in serious financial trouble: his acolytes like Gary and Darla were in denial.

Of course, Darla Y Williams herself was disintegrating financially. Both Eric and Darla needed that Congressional win for personal financial salvation. They lost...

Wilson Allen should fix the violations on his house that the neighbors have been complaining about for years instead of meddling in everyone elses affairs.

It's driving everyone's property value down.
