| “I’m here to appeal my weed citation [and fine].” Johnny Whitmire’s issue is the third item on the agenda for the Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety. Despite everything he has been through, he’ll take a chance that government can help. Sitting behind an elevated polished-wood dais, Quirk and two other board members look down on Whitmire when his turn comes. board attorney Quirk tells Whitmire that Whitmore's previous house is still in Whitmore’s name. “It’s a fairly common practice,” he says. “Citi[bank] doesn’t want any liability should anybody get hurt on the property.” “So I’m liable for a house I don’t live in or own?” Whitmire sputters. Yes, Quirk says. |

| #2 The source article is one of a series. Muncie was chosen since it is the archetypal US "Middletown." More on Whitmire: "I voted for Obama and had hopes for him," said Whitmire who - as a white, non-college educated male - is part of a fraternity of voters most skeptical of the president. Obama may not get Whitmire's vote in November. "He was thrown into a rat hole," Whitmire says. "He hasn't done much with it."... "If I had a plough and a horse and my wife and kids, and a piece of land, I'd be a happy man," Whitmire says. "If I could turn back the clock, boy - I'd go back." |
