Dawn of the undead stadium plans

With just five weeks to go before the Indiana legislature adjourns until 2007, state senator Luke Kenley now says he's preparing yet another Indianapolis Colts stadium-funding proposal, after his last one pretty much crashed and burned. Though Kenley didn't provide details, he indicated the new plan would be drafted with the help of Gov. Mitch Daniels, which could help give it a boost.

This story also provides us with the quote of the week, courtesy of Indiana University political science professor Bill Blomquist: "It's been like a demolition derby process of elimination. And in the end you stitch together enough things that have some measure of support and that can pass the House and the Senate." Now there's an attractive image.
