What a brilliant move by the Ellettsville Town Council. 9 candidtate, 5 interviews and they select Gary Darland to be the new Town Marshall? Even the man himself was surprised:
“There were some big names in law enforcement. Honestly, I was stunned when they called and told me I had the job. I actually thought it was a joke — I didn’t recognize the voice. I don’t really know the council, so there was definitely no politics involved.”-Gary Darland on being hired for the job.No, the joke is on the poor citizens of Ellettsville who now have more of the 'Good'Ol Boy' committee running things. The current town council has been noted for being more proactive towards improvement and that makes this decision even more shocking. The Monroe County Republican Party couldn't force feed the Monroe County's citizen's as a whole the "Darland Party" as sheriff back in 1998, soundly handing the sheriff seat to the Demorcrats. They failed again later when they tried to give Darland the Coroner's job in the next major election. So if he failed at sheriff, failed at coroner, and lives 45 plus minutes from Ellettsville, why not give him the position of town marshall? Makes sense to me.

As a Republican I am ashamed of the local leaderships pushing for this appointment. This guy could not win an elected position so an appointed position was the only way to get him in. Shame on the Ellettsville council for allowing it.
Exactly. I am not a Republican, thankfully (no offense ;-) ) and this is just a blatant attempt by the "good'ole boys" to tighten their reigns even further.
