Dear Council Members,
The last time I was given the opportunity to address you, I asked two specific questions which
related to a specific Councilor. I offered public documents that Councilor Kevin Rider's restaurant,
Divvy,was shown to be owned by Pedcor,a developer which often seeks taxpayer subsidies for its
projects. My questions were simple. Did Pedcor, in fact, own Divvy,as the Secretary of State'office
portrayed? And secondly,if Pedcor did own Divvy,should Councilor be voting in favor of giving Pedcor
taxpayer subsidies? My questions were fair and appropriate.
Sadly, Councilor Rider's response came in two major parts (plus a minor part),and both parts
were unfortunate. Councilor Rider confirmed that Pedcor once owned 100%of Divvy, but that
Councilor Rider and his wife now own 51%of Divvy. I appreciate that disclosure, but his response is
incomplete. The disclosure is incomplete because Councilor Rider does not tell us HOW that 51%was
acquired. A complete disclosure would tell the public whether Councilor Rider paid full market value for
his 51%,or received his'share' in some other fashion. Regrettably, I must now pose that question to
Councilor Rider again. Councilor Rider is a smart man who can easily understand that voters might
object if they knew not only how much was being spent by the City but who or whose interest was being
served by the expenditures.
The second part of Rider's response was that he had"legal opinions"which permit him to vote
on giving taxpayer subsidies to Pedcor projects. Subsequent news coverage, including statements by
experts, indicated that Councilor Rider was very vulnerable to criticism regarding this conflict of
interest, but that he probably had not broken existing law.
Let me be clear in this statement–it was never my intent that Councilor Rider should go to jail.
Certainly,the media coverage of my previous question made it clear that Indiana law on "conflicts of
interest" is exceedingly weak. Councilor Rider is no more guilty than other elected officials whose
decisions are tainted by their self-interest. I would personally like the law to be strengthened
substantially, but that is not the point I raised. I simply asked Councilor Rider whether he should be
awarding subsidies to the people who own or owned his restaurant.
So with another round of Pedcor subsidies currently under consideration, let me attempt,again,
to be clear. Councilor Rider, I am asking whether you feel comfortable voting in favor of awarding$20
million in taxpayer funds to your business partners? My question is not a question of law. It is a
question of your motivation and character. And I note that this is a particularly poignant time in the
electoral cycle to answer such questions.
Finally,the minor part of Councilor Rider's response was to allege that the motivation behind
my question was an attempt to'damage his reputation.' My questions simply note that Councilor
Rider's personal decision–whether he feels it is acceptable to award millions in taxpayer funds to his
business partners–is a fair and honest measurement of his service to Carmel voters. If Councilor
Rider's reputation is damaged, Councilor Rider will have done it, himself.
Sincerely.
