    1. Oh buddy, if you think Indiana municipalities get anywhere near enough money to sustain car infrastructure for longer than its initial shelf life, you have another thing coming.

      Low population density. Crazy low property tax rate. Inequitable gas tax redistribution formula and no local gas taxes.

      Without fixing these issues, the only real option will be to decrease the amount of right away given to cars. First in Indianapolis, then in the donut counties as their infrastructure ages. The harsh reality of living a car-centric subsidized lifestyle is coming to an Indiana community near you!

    2. What would that fix? It just makes our community less attractive (people love bikes and opportunities to safety conduct outdoor activities) and it wouldn’t fix the problem. Bike lanes are built into street projects that are already ongoing, so removing the bike lane elements wouldn’t actually result in any significant cost reductions. Robert is right, we need to AGGRESSIVELY pursue infill development and increase our population density. Center Township’s infrastructure is designed to handle twice as many people as it does now.

    1. LOL. Oh, you were serious.
      Hicks is a cartoon and just a reliable Democrat quote for the subject du jour. The only thing more laughable than Hicks is the Gannet organization

  1. The Gov apparently doesnt understand that we are the 9th lowest tax state. There is a tax cap in place at 1% for residential and 2% for commercial. I read where the tax caps could go up to 5 and 7 for residential. Proerty value is going to continue to go up as our housing shortage continues. He apparently has large donors for his campaign that think they pay too much. What is the proposal for commercial buildings? I may agree on some of what he is trying to achieve with schools. Every High School is a small college campus with not so good results. He is going to open up a can of worms and he will not get a 2nd term. That will open the door for some serious chaos.

    1. That tax cap at 1% is a fallacy. Unnecessary school building and Red Line construction “special assessments” make it higher than 1%.

  2. What Chuck said … but interesting that nobody talks about cutting back on expenditures. It is never enough and the masses are getting sick and tired of it.

    1. Indiana has the 4th smallest budget on a per-capita basis among states with a AAA credit rating. There isn’t much to cut. We’re a low-tax, low-service state.

      If the State wants to start cutting expenditures, start with extraneous endeavors like LEAP.

      Property taxes are already very low while infrastructure and schools continue to fall apart. To further reduce property taxes is to stop making common sense investments that pay off for all Hoosiers. Once a state stops investing in itself, it’s as good as gone.

    2. Cut back? They’re already cutting back on schools and healthcare for people struggling to make ends meet. What more do you want?

      We did find the funding for another income tax cut and giving rich people vouchers to private schools. Funny those priorities, isn’t it?
