Indiana Green Kathleen Petitjean runs on Human Rights platform
Why would she do that? A city with a human rights policy? What the...
Well, that might be the expected reaction from a Democrat or Republican, but for we Greens it makes sense. In this particular case, the city has a human rights ordinance, and the incumbent did not want to expand it to cover the GLBT community...so Petitjean said "enough is enough" and took her self out and filed to run against a spineless Democrat. Since the proposed change failed by a 4 to 5 vote, after she gets elected it will pass by the same margin..I hope!
