The solution is for Finkham and other donut county mayors to start offering some of the services for high need individuals that are only meaningfully offered in Marion County. Until they stop exporting their high need populations to Marion County, it will just be very tough for Marion County to properly fund everything – especially courts, prosecutors, and public defenders.
Please define “high need’ individuals.
Any person whose life circumstances are such that they need assistance far greater that the bare bones minimal social services and firel/ems.
Practically every person in Central Indiana who has risk factors for “falling through the cracks” and lacks financial support from family gets funneled into Marion County. It’s the only place in Central Indiana that has the institutions (and proximate affordable housing) to help these folks.
Theoretically, there are efficiencies generated by providing any class of service in one place. But without funding these centralized services much more than they currently are, all you end up with is a concentration of folks who aren’t helped properly and who disproportionately fall through the cracks and who end up driving up the costs of fire, EMS, police, courts, and etc.
Donut county suburbs avoid the problem altogether by zoning in ways that keep property value/rent so high that folks with unaddressed needs are excluded entirely. Consequentially, they end up spending much less on police, fire, EMS, and other services – while also punting the types of social services that can prevent over reliance upon emergency services into Marion County
We also have decades of research showing that concentrating affordable housing is far less effective at propagating upward mobility than distributed affordable housing. While the issue of affordable housing is not the same issue as social service agglomeration, it is related. When you agglomerate social services, you will also end up agglomerating affordable housing.
We should probably have a much more regional approach to non-emergent social services. It’s a step in the right direction that Fishers is lined up to get a VA hospital. Eskenazi should probably be expanded to have outposts in every donut county. And Marion County’s affordable unit requirements for TIF project should probably be codified region wide. Among other things…
social services is generally far more effective than incentivz
‘Cary Ettress, has faced charges in about 40 cases in Indiana since 2015.’ if the prosecutor would do his job and keep criminals such as this off the streets, then one might see an improvement. I’d say either that or get rid of the ‘red line’ bus system which pipes them in…..
Not that it makes any difference but the Red Line doesn’t extend outside of Marion county.
Don’t let Indiana become Illinois. Lock criminals up, especially repeat offenders like this guy (40 cases?!)
Is it your assertion that folks should get life sentences for having multiple convictions? If so, how many is too many and what types of convictions qualify?
There can be no solutions in a ruby red state until republicans can admit what police agencies across the state warned them of – constitutional carry and other lax gun control laws inevitably lead to increased crime

lol you think this dude bought a gun legally? also maybe we should have internet posting control laws so boomers like you can show us you can responsibly post.

Jonathan, are you saying that a shooter can magically acquire a gun without it being bought legally at some point in its journey to him? That sounds silly.
Here’s a logical statement that isn’t silly. If you make it as easy as possible to buy guns, you flood society with them and make it easier for criminals like these to get them too. If you add as much friction as possible to buying a gun in the first place, it follows logically that the supply of illegal guns would also dwindle. Don’t complain about crime when a key tenet of your political party is the root cause of the problem. You get the world you create.
And I’m 36, thanks.
As Mayor Bill Hudnut once said, you can’t be a suburb of nothing. They’re referred to as the donut counties for a reason. Without Indianapolis, Carmel and its brethren would be but mere wide spots in the road. They enjoy all of the benefits of being in the Indy MSA while simultaneously complaining about it. It’s about time that all the commuters who drive into the city and use the City’s roads and services start contributing to the cost of those services.
