THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2004

DEMOCRAT'S ► Continued from Pago 1 gressional seats. In the meantime, Parker said the party could thrive by learning when to compromise with the Republican majority “without sacrificing what matters to working families." Parker has been greatly influenced by Bayh, who led a resurgence of the party in the late 1980s when he became the first Democrat to win the governor’s office after 16 years of Republican rule. In a statement sent to The Recorder, Bayh said he hopes the state central committee will see

the wisdom in selecting Parker as the party’s next leader. “I’ve known Dan for several years now, and have the utmost confidence in his ability to move the Indiana Democratic Party forward into the future,” Bayh said. “As a party, we face some challenges in the months ahead, but I’m convinced we will unify and start rebuilding our many strengths. I also want to extend my persona] thanks to Kip Tew for his service and leadership to

the party and to the state.” Robin Winston, who served as I ndiana’s first African-American Democratic chairman from 1999 to 2001, agrees. “I think that it’s a rebuilding time for our party,” he said. “We have to rebuild upon our best. We must talk with people who have won recent elections to solicit their support and find out what they did right. It’s absolutely incumbent that the party become more inclusive and that

we realize that we don’t have a voter or volunteer to lose.” Winston believes Parker will play a significant role in increasing party fortunes during the 2006 congressional and Statehouse elections. “Dan is very experienced in the technical aspects of campaigns,” he added. Daniel J. Parker, who grew up in Massachusetts, is a nephew of former New England Patriots owner William Sullivan. The 34-

year-old graduate of George Mason University moved to Indiana in 1992 to work on then Gov. Bayh’s reelection campaign. He served as caucus director of the Indiana House Democrats from 1997 to 1999, served as a campaign staff member for Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson and was Bayh’s state director from 1999 until he became executive director of the Indiana Democratic Party in January 2003.

BRIEFS ► Continued from Pago 1 deduct from their taxes for their vehicle," says Karen Campese, CEO of cars4charities, a national vehicle donation center. "The current law allows the donor to use an established used car pricing guide to determine the fair market value of their donated vehicle." "Beginning Jan. 1,2005,” says Campese, "if the value of the donated vehicle is over $500, the donor will only be allowed to deduct the amount the charity sells the car for. Since most charities wholesale donated vehicles to car dealers, the sale price rarely approaches the real value of the vehicle." Trump casinos file for bankruptcy protection New Jersey-based Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Inc., which last month announced a plan to reorganize the financially beleaguered company, said Monday it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Trump officials have said the reorganization should not have any effect on plans for a $123 million hotel and floating casino in Orange County. Morgan Stanley has agreed to provide a $500 million loan to Trump Hotels to help fund operations, subject to court approval. The company, led by 58-year-old real estate mogul Donald Trump, will receive $100 million of bankruptcy financing from Beal Bank to fund expenses including wages, vendor payments and leases.
