I just read Bob's new "article" on columbuzz and I'm totally shocked, absolutely no name calling at all. He must be under the weather today. But I still must respond to some of his campaign promises:
"With all the turmoil that’s been stirring here, it’s time to talk about what I will do if I win the election, and why you should vote for me."
Yeah, turmoil that YOU have been stirring!
"Any employee of mine will at all times be polite and professional or they will be looking for a job elsewhere."
As polite and professional as you are on your website? Please. Quite frankly, if you became MY boss, I would run from the building screaming.
"SBOA audits - This is the report card for the office. It’s every two years. If we perform our duties properly, they should be easy to pass. My goal will be to pass each one without issues."
Bob, you have difficulty with simple math. I have no idea how you're going to pass an audit without issues.
"I will have one of the most transparent offices around."
You don't even make your website transparent but you will make your office transparent? I doubt it.
"Poor relief and financial assistance - I plan to explore as many new ideas for ways to help people as possible."
From what I've read on columbuzz, I believe Bob will attempt to raid the fire protection fund in order to free up more money for the poor relief fund. I guess he could always ask Jimmy John's sandwich delivery drivers to provide fire protection (those who have heard the Jimmy John's fire radio commercial will get this joke).

"Any employee of mine will at all times be polite and professional or they will be looking for a job elsewhere. Period."
HIS employees?
"Being the boss doesn’t make anyone any better or more deserving of a raise."
He's already calling himself the 'boss'.
"When people are out of work and are willing and able to work, we need to use them when possible to do some of that work; mowing for instance."
Bob has a mowing 'business'. Interesting.
"I believe we need to keep working closely with churches and other agencies in all areas of support. Food pantries, thrift stores, meal sites, etc… We can do so much more when we work together."
These are the same agencies and people that Bob has attacked maliciously over the whole homeless issue. Now he wants to work with them?
"People who know me know that I have no secrets."
I have documentation in the form of screenshots that prove Bob is a member of a Pen Pal site where he attempted to solicit nude photos from a teen pen pal. He denies this, but I have proof.
The question is this: What will be Bob Freeman's excuse, or who will he blame, when he loses this election?
Mercman, if you really have proof, you should present it to the authorities and let them investigate. If your proof is not credible enough for them, then you might not want to mention it on a public blog, since you are accusing Bob of a serious charge. I know Bob does this regularly on his website, but you don't want to stoop to his level.
interpals.net
It's penpal website. I used to chat with a friend or two there. Now we use e-mail because of your snooping and your stupid accusations.
Now prove the nude teen accusation.
Better yet, grow some balls and come up and introduce yourself.
Or go up to my stepson and repeat your molesting accusations. I would enjoy seeing him beat you to a pulp.
You ain't got the balls to do any more than throw out garbage on here.
Just hope I never learn your identity.
Difference is, what I post is true.
So how's the criminal investigation into Fred Barkes' "shenanigans" going? Still working on it? Not much time left before the election.
I'm in no hurry. I do think his use of poor relief money to buy that maintenance building was illegal. I know he did it but not sure it was illegal, maybe just wrong.
I will find more information on things once I'm in office.
"I will find more information on things once I'm in office."
Good one, Bob! And I thought you didn't have a sense of humor. So what's up on columbuzz? You wrote an entire article without any name calling. That must be a first for you.
"I will find more information on things once I'm in office". Translation: "I'm making allegations without proof hoping those baseless allegations help me win an election. ".
You don't like baseless allegations against you. Why then are you so quick to hurl them at others? Or is that your definition of "professionalism"?
Here's the proof Bob asked for.

Well Mercman, at least she's 18 years old so she's considered an adult.
Bob You are busted
Everyone needs to check out the link
I do find it interesting that Bob is threating to have someone's ass beaten for doing the same thing to him that he does to others.
But Bob climes everyone else is making threat's to beat his ass I think he has a big imagination...
So Mercman, how did you get those screenshots? Maybe you should submit an article on columbuzz to blow the whistle on Bob. Oh wait, never mind.
Jeff Barkes, tell me one false thing I osted.
Your mother didn't go to a funeral and tell mourning family members that the Trustee paid for the funeral?
She didn't go around to mourning family members and ask who could pay for it?
Your dad didn't take $230,000 of poor reliefmoney and buy the maintenance building to do maintenance on fire trucks?
Your dad ever have an SBOA audit without issues?
The staff is never rude to clients?
Your dad didn't allow Rodney to show his ass in a public meeting in your dads office?
Your dad didn't resign as treasurer of the fire department over missing money?
Rodney doesn't mistreat his staff?
Wanna go on?
Dispute ONE. You can't do anything but deny the facts like your folks do.
How did I get the screenshots? Ever heard of "To Catch a Predator"?
And Bob old buddy....no Photoshop, only genuine screenshots.
Nothing illegal, but something to hide, and lie about for sure.
Something Bob would DEFINITELY milk the Hell out of if it was a local politician, candidate, business owner, Mercman, or Mr. Barkes.
Bob, be careful saying they're photoshopped. An expert would be able to tell. Mercman, if I were you and these screenshots are authentic, then submit them to an expert to prove they are authentic.
"Your dad didn't resign as treasurer of the fire department over missing money?"
I know for a fact that this is BS. Where's your proof?
Mercman said: "Nothing illegal, but something to hide, and lie about for sure."
Now Merman, you know Bob doesn't ever lie. He says so himself.
Now who would have thought Bob would lie.
Way to go Merman.. Maybe you should go to the media with your info (Call 6 for help that is what Bob would do)
This kind of conduct by Bob should end his political career forever
Sorry folks, I had to delete a comment from Bob. Usage violation - profanity. But I will summarize:
Bob claims Mercman's photo is photoshopped.
I know I didn't write that crap.
And Merc loves to use his photo shop. And he's actually pretty good at it. I have seen him use it plenty.
And if I had proof your dad took money from the fire department, I would accuse him of being a thief. But I don't, so I won't. That's why I asked.
I have been told by several people that he resigned because they caught him with money missing and Chris Gephart said he would fix the books if your dad would just resign.
Auditors can examine the books and find such a cover up or shortage, if one exists.
THAT can wait until after I am in office.
THEN I will have your proof, if is there.
There must be two different Bob's
"I know I didn't wright that crap"
So we established a long time ago that he may be Bipolar, But he must have multiple personality's too
Why would my Dad take money from the fire department? He's retired.
Ok Bob, how about I answer all of them. I will be sure to type slow so you can follow.
My mother did not go to the funeral. She went to the showing. She was not rude to anyone. You posted her letter on your site. Read it. Then read the comments of the person accusing her of being rude. Anyone who reads both can tell how each acted.
The township bought a maintenance building for its fire equipment. Heaven forbid we have well maintained fire equipment. You act as if the Trustee can simply go write a check and buy a building. I am not going to go into the Advisory Board and the DLGF. Its pathetic that I know more about the budget process than you.
There is a SBOA audit every 2 years. So the answer is "Yes" he has had audits without issues. The problem was an input mistake. The problem is fixed. All money is accounted for. If it was not, there would be articles in the paper like the ones stating certain city officials had to repay money. I know you do not talk about that since they are members of your party. There have been no such accusations against my father.
As to the staff being rude to clients. I do not know your definition of rude. I have read many of your musings and I am quite sure we differ on the meaning of the word.
I am not a firefighter and neither are you. Therefore, neither of us know first hand how Rodney treats the firefighters. I do know they are adults and they have not quit so I assume he does not mistreat them as you accuse.
You called Rodney's wife a whore. If you had called my wife a whore I would have shown you more than my ass. As a matter of fact, you have taken so many liberties calling my dad a crook, and my mom a bitch and monster, that I am thankful there is no reason you and I should ever meet face to face again. The one time I did see you in person I almost felt sorry for you. You looked so pathetic having just learned you were too incompetent to get 10 valid signatures on an objection.
As to any missing money when Dad was treasurer. Absolutely false. Are you that sorry a person that you will say anything. Print any rumor or inuendo? Did a little bird whisper in your ear? Is it the same bird that whispered Dad was hiring family because co-workers' third cousins' mothers had the same surname? Is that the same bird that told you my grandmother's name was Ruth Baxter? You reported that lie as truth too. It is easy to pass lies off when you do not have to back them up. Of course, you know that first hand.
It's curious that people are coming out of the woodwork and saying you have been acting like this for years. Is that a conspiracy against you or have you finally found some truth about your campaign.
Bravo, Jeff! Bravo!
Well, I can see nothing can be accomplished here.
The showing was part of the funeral. They had the one event to be done in 3 hours. She was there and she went around bragging about your dad paying for it and asking mourners why they don't help pay for it. How sick and cold hearted can a person be? That doesn't make her a bitch or a monster?
That isn't just being rude, it's unforgivable.
And we have witnesses that will stand up in court if need be.
I never called Briana a whore. I have no reason to even think it. You're information is wrong.
Brianas grandfather had a sister named Baxter, your mothers maiden name.
I assumed wrong. When I posted that assumption, I said I was guessing.
You act as though your dad would never hire somebody's relatives. Look at the staff and fire department roster. Yea right.
Your dad bought a building using poor relief funds to service fire vehicles that can be serviced in the station where they are assigned.
It was wrong to use poor relief money for anything other than poor relief. If I can find that it was illegal, I will push for prosecution.
But no, your dad thinks he can do whatever he wants to do and he does it. Well, he was wrong. Once I am in office, it is one more thing I will have to fix.
I don't have to be a firefighter to see how much of a jerk Rodney can be. I have received numerous reports of what a jerk he is to everyone around him. I have seen his tantrums personally.
Point is, your dad hasn't passed an SBOA audit without an issue since he has been trustee.
Wrongly giving insurance peremiums to spouses, using money from wrong funds, and not being able to balance his checkbook.
If he were new on the job, one could understand it. But he has been there almost 8 years.
He bought that building with poor relief money two years ago. After 5 years in office. He knew it was wrong. Then he went to the state to ask for more poor relief money.
One of the first things your dad said to me early in this race is that you can't use money from one fund for purposes of another fund.
I wonder how he knew.
As for stealing fire department money, I haven't talked about it publicly because I only heard it from people. I haven't seen evidence of it. Yet.
And as far as him making the decisions. The advisory board is three of his buddies. They want the same thing he wants; to make the trustee office the central office for Indianas largest fire department.
continued....
Okay, enough said.
I can bring 20 people to court if I need to that will testify that the staff at the trustee office are monsters, bitches, and rude to people who come in for assistance. They say they are condescending and arrogant. Most of those people I spoke with flat out refuse to enter the building until your dad is out of office. We now have recordings of that rude behavior in recent meetings. So deny all you like.
That's sad for an office designed to help people desperate for help.
So you keep denying the truth Jeff. Keep justifying the crap they pull.
I understand. They are your folks. But you're wrong. They should have been thrown out of that office years ago.
Hopefully they will be gone after this election. If not, the fight will still go on.
Until you want to admit to the truth and stop denying the charges, we have no reason to speak to each other.
I can prove EVERY word I post. If you don't like it, too bad.
I would guess that there are three or four people pretending to be the posters here. I'm done talking to them.
Oh, and by the way, I DID find the 10 property owners. Your dad and his buddies at the auditors office found a way to 'disqualify' them. Two of them closed on their home 3 days before they signed the petition. The auditors office failed to post it in their system until 3 days after they signed. But they are, and were, property ownners.
I intentionally didn't find more people to sign the petition because of the fear your folks would retaliate against all who signed.
But that's fine. Should I lose the election, I plan to be on every move your dad makes.
Every SBOA audit will be closely and publicly analyzed. Every budget will be searched for good reason to file a protest with double the signatures required.
Your dad said he would submit the petition to the DLGF along with his budget. We'll see if he does. They already have a copy and an explanation of the bullshit that was pulled.
He is wrong in many ways and he is bad for the township.
The remainder of his time in office just became his hardest, should he defeat me in two and a half weeks.
The more we learn, the more we need him out.
Bob, it's not my fault if you don't know how to use the site. How can I delete your message when I'm asleep?
Ah, I see what happened. Google blogs thought your comment was spam, so it saved it to the spam folder. Smart, that Google.
But it is ironic that you're complaining about deleted comments. Hmm, where have I heard that before? I guess that means you don't have any balls since you delete comments.

Very interesting link you posted! Just more proof of Bob's lack of intelligence.
