Angry White Boy has the answer:

Former Speaker Brian Bosma pointed out he was Costas:

“As an attorney focusing on elder law and an elected official, Jon is highly qualified to serve as Indiana ’s consumer protection watchdog,” Bosma said in a statement.

Bosma apparently doesn’t know what Elder Law is all about. In general, the majority of the work that Elder Law attorneys carry out is the shelter of assets through trust work. This allows families to arrange if a family member goes into a nursing home they will qualify for Medicaid. Basically this is a practice of sheltering assets of the wealthy so that if they need long term care the cost is shifted to the tax payer. That experience must have paid off well, considering how Costas has become a pro at expanding and shifting TIF districts in Valparaiso.

Is someone who has made a career of shifting cost from the wealthy to the back of the taxpayers a good candidate to represent the state as Attorney General?

So devising clever legal ways of sheltering the fortunes of rich old people so that their children can inherit everything and not pay the death tax is a qualification to be attorney general?

Jon Costas doesn’t seem to have any experience in criminal law, prosecutions, appellate cases, governmental civil litigation, or any of the other duties and tasks of the AG’s office.

Photographing well, running triathlons, and sheltering the money of rich old people may qualify you to be mayor of Valparaiso, but it doesn’t give you the necessary experience to be Attorney General of the State of Indiana.

Linda Pence is going to eat this guy alive if he’s picked at the convention.
