Uran, Klein and Pabey are all cut from the same cloth.

Let's not forget to add Gayle Van Sessen and Allan Katz to that list.

Uran's Plasmatronics law suit is not about recovering money for Crown Point. It is about running up legal fees for the lawyers and the Uran warchest.

East Chicago corruption is more sophisticated than simple quid-pro-quos.

And this character assassination is based on what?

1. The fact that Uran has shoveled $250,000 out the Crown Point door in legal fees to Uran's legal team to recover $10,000.

2 The fact that Uran did not bring in criminal authorities despite strong evidence that most of the money loaned to Plasmatronics was gone. According to the loan documents, the loan was supposed to be used to purchase collateral - but there is no collateral and the Uran administration knows this.

3 The fact that the FBI indicated that Dave Nicholls, Uran's Crown Point city attorney, who is managing the Plasmatronics lawsuit was known as a bag man for the East Chicago Pastrick administration.

4. The fact that there have been numerous examples in recent years of sophisticated East Chicago political corruption involving George Pabey, the Pastrick Administration, the Sidewalk Six, Frankie Kolintzas, and Bobby Cantrell where money was filched through sophisticated schemes.

5. The fact that the $380,000 loaned to Plasmatronics is gone. The $250,000+ in legal fees are gone and the meter is still running. The city, to date, is likely to recover $10,000.

6. The fact that the Uran Administration seems dedicated more to covering up the Plasmatronics debacle than getting the city's money back. City attorney Nicholls is dissolving the Crown Point Development Corp so that there are no Board members who are likely to ask the tough questions that need to be asked - Like: A) What happened to all the money? B) Why hasn't the city called for a criminal investigation? C) Where is Eric Hammond (who signed the checks to Plasmatronics)? D) Why does Crown Point continue to pay additional legal fees for the Plasmatronics case to Dave Nicholls when the case seems to have been badly botched? E) Has there been legal malpractice by Uran's lawyers? F) What happened to the expensive Sheepscott 9450 Resin Dispensing machine that was purchased by Plasmatronics and shipped on October 16, 2007 and could be collateral - but has vanished, etc.

Hey Arc:

Klien was a buffoon. I share your sentiments regarding his quest for state rep.

I do like Uran and think its absurd to lump Uran, Klein and Pabey together.

The real sock puppets are the clowns who try to connect Plasmatronics, Klein and Pabey with Uran to further their own political agenda.

That is the point of my post.

The KIein and Uran administrations are equally corrupt.

Uran has spent $250,000 to $300,000 on the Plasmatronics lawsuit to recover $10,000. Virtually all lawyers/law firms working on the case contribute to Uran's warchest. Uran has known for almost two years that the money was gone but has not brought in criminal authorities. That is corruption.

Shelli VanDenburgh has recently shown that Dan Klein's warchest received contributions from Brogan Pharmaceuticals and also from Brogan's CEO Brett Dines shortly after Brogan received $500,000 from the city.

There is enough stench to discredit Uran, Klein and Plasmatronics.
