If Brian Bosma thinks he knows what’s best for Indianapolis, he should run for mayor, and leave the State the f* out of Indianapolis’ business.
Yup. And what he does in his legal business with Clay Township, Carmel City Center Community Redevelopment Corporation, Vigo County Capital Improvement Board, etc. is far worse than what any panhandler has ever done to my own pocketbook.
Panhandler–Someone Downtown that asks a person unrecognizable as a State Legislator for money not understanding their self importance. Panhandler
This is the first time I think I have ever agreed that the state legislature might be doing a good thing for Indy. I almost never think the legislature should pass laws limiting local autonomy, but in this case Indy has been frozen into inaction unable to come up with a decent solution to this problem. And Yes, it is a real problem for Indy.
I am just going to guess that just one too many state legislatures got panhandled.
I agree, the panhandlers are sometimes very intimidating… they should be kept at a distance.
As the seat of State government, the legislature has a legitimate interest in the downtown Indy environment. The story indicates leadership at the Indianapolis Mayoral level was involved in discussions and did not take a position. In other words, the typical response – nothing.
It is time for the Indianapolis Mayor to put on his big boy pants and stop quaking in fear of the ACLU. Likewise, the ACLU needs to focus on something that is a legitimate threat to liberty rather than ways to diminish the quality of life downtown.
I appreciate the legislature showing some leadership. Panhandling is out of control and compromises investment in the central business district.
Whose quality of life are we talking about? Oops… my bleeding heart caused me to collapse. I woke up in the holding tank.
The quality of life for everyone. I do not buy in to the philosophy that the “panhandlers” downtown are people down on their luck who just need a break. Most behave in a manner that suggests they are mentally ill, living on the street with no place to go.
Women should not have to avoid walking downtown at lunchtime because a dangerous person is probably going to follow her begging for money, his dialogue becoming more profane with each step.
People should expect to wait at the crosswalk without being accosted by dangerous people shouting profanity while shaking them down.
The ACLU needs to accept their vision of who is being victimized and who is the abuser needs to be altered in most circumstances when we talk downtown. Where is the ACLU in advocating access to mental health services for the “panhandlers”?
