  1. Why resign now? His party continues to neglect the promises made to the Westside (diverted Tiff money for sewers and road rebuilds come to mind (Blue line excluded), passes budgets for road improvements that don’t materialize, pays six figure compensation to “peacekeepers, but allows 5,000 people come in and tear up our once proud downtown all while throwing his police chief under the bus, and jokes about the sexual harassment issue at a recent public event — and gets away with it in the media! Any connection between his divorce and the most recent scandal? I hope he can see the light and do something to improve his health, but this has been a journey into the abyss. Still, he can get his retirement funded by the cut he will get from professional soccer, but oops neglected the local efforts again. Poof!!

    1. He has shown one bold leadership decision. He chose to kill the Indy11 stadium project for a nebulous chance at a pro-league team. Only time will tell if that was a brilliant move or utter stupidity, but I’m leaning toward the latter.

  2. Sexual harassment mess

    Indy 11 mess

    Closing half the circle when there is a beautiful park two blocks north.

    How many parks have bee neglected, leaving kids to the streets.

    1820 Ventures commits to 200+ million $
    development yet he takes pride In anouncing a homeless shelter in the path of growth and next to 3 neighbors around 600k homes with no notice to them or the general area. Plus, they still don’t have the build out money, operator, operating cash.

    Doesn’t have or pay enough to police.

    Hasn’t mowed tall grass that has grown to tall trees blocking traffic in my neighborhood for 3 years.

    Builds a 6 foot wide sidewalk from Washington St to the new jail. Maybe the residents on Washington will ask their kids to the jail on Saturday. (Go look at that low class sidewalk on Southeastern)

    Proudly lists write the mayor on line yet has not responded to 3 online letters and 3 direct USPO letters.

    Os this the leadership you want??? Rhetorical of course.

  3. Hogsett is guilty of violating Federal Law per Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Since he is the CEO of the City, and ultimately in charge of all employees of the City (yeh, I’m sure all his law buddies will say he has no responsibility of the employees) and has allowed the sexual harassment to go on and not do anything, he should be in jail. I don’t get why all the supposedly smart City-County Councilors have to set up all these commissions and committees to study the policy. Have you councilors read Title VII? I’ve pasted it in below. But alas, you all will roll over and ignore who’s actually criminally responsible.

    The following was captured in doing a simple Google search:

    Legally, workplace sexual harassment is considered a form of sex discrimination, so sexual harassment is illegal across the country. Generally, these federal (national) laws apply only to employers with 15 or more employees, but your state might have better laws that cover smaller employers.

    Sexual harassment is illegal. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”) makes it illegal for employers to allow anyone to be sexually harassed at work by anyone else, regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation.

    Title VII applies to employers. It is designed to make employers accountable for providing a work environment that is free from harassment and other kinds of discrimination. It does not make it illegal for someone to harass someone else. Instead, it makes it illegal for employers to allow harassment to occur or to fail to stop it once they know it’s happening.” So this civil rights law does not give you a right to sue an individual person – unless that individual person is your employer.

    Quit messing around Councilors and address the real problem……Joe the Mayor. How much longer will you drag this matter out?? Vop, address the Mayor’s violation of Title VII now!!!!!

    1. Yeh, think the party is going to participate in abetting the crime? Hmmm, Councilors might think twice. Are they employers also? I’m sure this entire sexual harassment matter will continue as just a gigantic coverup and whoever the official employer of the City is will skate. What a crock. All hail the party!!!!!

    1. Has nothing to do with “Trumpian” comments. Simply, a crime has been committed-violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 1964.
