Craig Fry suddenly finds his voice!

Wow suddenly Craig Fry wants to come out of the wilderness and be a real representative! In a tribune article here, Fry wants to suddenly be concerned over the local VIM recycling plant in Elkhart.

Very noble of Craig Fry to take up the issue now that he has an opponent. Back in June 2007 the plant had a fire that made headlines because an employee was killed. Where was Craig Fry? IDEM had a hearing on the reconstruction of the plant in September 2007, where was Craig Fry? The Indiana Dept of Labor investigated VIM and issued fines in September 2007, where was Craig Fry? The Elkhart Zoning Board was involved with VIM in November 2007, again, where was Craig Fry? The State Fire Marshal got into the act in February of this year, threatened to close VIM, where was Craig Fry?

Craig Fry was quite on the issue. Craig Fry has been a quiet and unseen state representative for 20 years now. But now Dave Miller, former Elkhart Mayor is running against him. Now Fry decided he has to take on some easy targets and get some press coverage to look good.

Fry feels the need to get in the paper and show he has a backbone on issues now that his re-election is in jeopardy. I am sure we will see a number of issues pop up suddenly for Fry to get some positive exposure! Waiting until the heat is on to take action and be visible as a representative will not fly with the voters! Shame on you Craig Fry!
