Lots to choose from here, but my favorite is; Pothole is going to solve the vagrant problem by spending $2M of tax money to put them up in hotels. Keep voting Democrat.
Riots and damage downtown are HIS fault: “Let them have their moment.”
Also…”the commitment that we WANT to make” re Pan Am Plaza… Not “the commitment we are going to make” or “will” make… Don’t think that is going to happen. Even with the pandemic, the deal was supoosed to be signed by end of June.
Stop watching Fox, no developer is going to start a new hotel now.
‘Gotta love Hammer & Nigel now referring to Hizzoner as Boss Hogsett [from Dukes of Hazzrd] on their afternoon drive-time WIBC radio show. So appropriate, given his ineptness and buffoonery. At The Democrat National Convention, do they have workshops where big-city Democrat mayors may hone that stupidity? If so, Boss Hogsett could lead the instruction.
This guy is an absolute clown. This is what a life long career in politics gets you. He’s run for every office in Indiana. Indianapolis ended up getting stuck with him.
Unfortunately, Mayor Hogsett is clueless when it comes to private business. He doesn’t work with businesses when in comes to Covid-19. He just changes course and expects companies to change their business model on a moments notice. How will restricting restaurants from operating at more than 50% capacity make us safer when the restaurants are already keeping patrons socially distanced and with face coverings? All he is doing is making it uneconomical for them to operate. I live downtown and his feckless response to the homeless on the circle and in the downtown parks is a huge problem!
The problem with Hogsett and every other Dem big city mayor over the last few months is their unwillingness to maintain civil order in downtown when confronted by protestors and rioters that are part of their political base. This is what happens when political concerns outweigh economic and social ones, and we’ll all pay a price for it.
agreed
We should use this opportunity to not only look at the immediate problems but also to do some long term planning for after the pandemic. We should hold some more broad based meetings to establish our goals and objectives. We should engage the city planners from the department of development to lead this effort and to give us perspective regarding the future of higher education, housing, offices, retailing and transportation. We will begin the reconstruction of I70/I65 this year which will disrupt the regionally center for over 10 years. Let’s start serious discussions regarding where we are going. And set some goals and objectives that include social services and affordable housing.
1. Nice effort to block Mass ave in order to increase business: however look at the “Road Closed” signs. they might as well say “Keep Out”. If you are looking to help, how about a nicer blockade that says. Pedestrian traffic welcome.
2. This administration is not working with what is best for all. The conventioneers don’t want to see a concert of urinating panhandlers. Divide the homeless by A). those who want to excel out of the homeless mess and B). those who refuse and are only seeking entitlements for their own benefit. Place B. in a camp and off the street. That’s what us righteous Americans did to the American Indian. Just drive by the ACLU headquarters on washington east of shelby. Homeless are sleeping on their property. That’s not helping the cause for ANYONE.
3. I agree to push for low income housing but it must be coupled with structured plans to elevate those to a level that they are able and desire to contribute to our downtown economy rather than reaching out for the voucher each month. If they want to partner with personal growth i’m sure there are plenty of back of the house employment available when we reopen. This is a great training period.
4. The inequality is a true shame. We began this nonsense with what we did to the American Indians. We might as well deface our city by painting murals of “Me TOO”, “Free the Indians” or save the planet. This comment is not meant to be condescending. Its meant for equality. Oh, should we reface our currency?
5. This administration should have made a clear separation between the non violent protests and the looters. Two totally different entities. The not violent should have voices out immediately to them. This and the other liberal mayors should have been ready. That’s why they are in office. There is enough history on what was going to happen.
Remember, our tax dollars are paying for all this.
John M. Why not transfer the deed to your homestead to “American Indians. This would assuage your guilt and aid your social engineering plans.
Mass Ave needs to be opened back up, changing the wording on the barracades isn’t going to change anything. This administration has not listened to the businesses on Mass Ave who have been screaming to get their street back since day one of the closure. The 600 and 700 blocks are like ghost towns with no traffic to speak of at any time of the day. Businesses are starting to close after 60 plus days of being cut off from anyone who isn’t close enough to walk or bike over. Good Bye Mass Ave- it was great while it lasted.
I don’t meet friends on Mass anymore. It is too confusing with the lost parking. The angled streets are difficult for the uninitiated to navigate the area.
What fool would go anywhere downtown now? Hogsett is a perfect example of a fool. It took us 20 years to make Indianapolis a nice safe town.I do not think Hogsett has any idea what he allowed to be destroyed!
Agreed
Hogsett is a joke. He can’t even protect citizens driving in downtown Indianapolis from homegrown terrorists that pointed a gun at a truck. They had to turn around and leave because a gun was pointed at the vehicle. He is ruining everything for this city!!!! Recall this this Mayor!
