Bart Peterson

Bart Peterson, the former Democratic mayor of Indianapolis, going to work for Eli Lilly and Co. as a lobbyist against any profit-threatening health-care legislation his party might contemplate. Then you have him back here selling the local folks on the cost-efficient merits of Lilly's massive upcoming job cuts, much as he once served as cheerleader for the tax abatements the city gave Lilly in exchange for jobs.
