  1. HE NEEDS TO RESIGN. HE IS NOTHING BUT A DRUNK BOY HIMSELF WHO IS INCAPABLE OF LEADING THIS CITY!!!!!! Our streets are a mess, everyone of them, where has he been???? Most people that I ask say he is on a binder, which is totally believable. All he is worried about is the damn soccer field. WHO CARES. FIX Indianapolis first. Crime is rampant, drugs are rampant. He is just not good and not good for our city. Letting a man work for 2 months more after his allegations is also unacceptable. Maybe the reason his wife divorced him was because of some of his bad habits!!

  2. He is not a leader. Our city has declined rapidly with him in office. It is sad for all the residents and business owners that reside in Indianapolis and Marion County. How much more can the city take of Joe Hogsett?
    So glad I live in work in Hamilton County. Please resign Joe before it gets worse!

    SC.

  3. Hogsett is one of those guys who just wants to be in power. He doesn’t particularly stand for anything; he just wants to be there. His absence during the BLM riots that destroyed our downtown remains an indelible stain on his tenure.

  4. If an executive in private industry had behaved like Hogsett did re the sexual harassment situations, that executive would have been fired – whether or not they “broke the [letter of] the law”. Too often government does not have to adhere to the rules they impose on others.

    1. The issue is that there is no way to “fire” an elected official. They can be impeached and removed from office, but it is a narrowly prescribed procedure that has very specific rules. That is why we have that lovely saying “elections have consequences.”

      Hogsett will ultimately end his time in office when his term ends and another election is held.

    1. Goldsmith was another Mayor with an alleged fondness for eggnog, shall we say.

      He also did not get along well with his own party (the GOP) and was *not* well-liked at city hall. His tenure was mostly marked by his “privatization” initiatives for city services, which involved giving very lucrative city contracts to politically well-connected individuals and their businesses.

      He left Indianapolis to become a high-flying political advisor first in DC, then in New York, where he left in disgrace after a well-publicized domestic altercation. (In full transparency, he did get his name cleared, although neither party disputed that a heated altercation occurred). Now, he is a professor at Harvard, and we all know how well things are going there. All that aside, the biggest reason Indianapolis does not need another Goldsmith is because the city has already had a long history of “pay to play” and calling it “privatization” does not make it any better.
