“King Ro” Loses Second Election in Two Months
Poor Lonnell “King Ro” Conley. He just can’t catch a break. After garnering the fewest amount of votes between the Republican and Democrat At-Large Candidates for the Indianapolis City-County Council as an incumbent in the recent municipal election, his own Democrat party gives him the shaft and denies him the opportunity to take over the State Representative seat left open by the retirement of Mae Dickinson.
Labor leader John Bartlett will take over the Indiana House seat being vacated by Mae Dickinson. Dickinson resigned on December 7, saying she wants to spend more time with her family. She had been in the legislature since 1991. Bartlett overwhelmingly beat outgoing City-Council member “King Ro” Conley. According to party insiders, many of the precinct committeemen wanted someone other than Conley saying it was time for the party to go forward.
Don’t worry King Ro, there’s always that open congressional seat you could go for.

Awwwwww … I knew King Ro didn’t have much spring in his step. Now both he and the Missus can go get real jobs instead of sucking at the city’s teat.

Oh, I just cannot resist. King Ro was so rude to me on the phone once when I called to request that there be an investigation into the ethics of Monroe Gray. When I asked why not, he replied “Because I said so!”
When I asked him who he worked for, himself or the taxpayers, he refused to answer!
