  1. I would favor taking $300 million to undertake and complete a “Phase I” of the White River plan, $1.7 billion to upgrade the state’s water supply infrastructure, and $1 billion to improve internet connectivity in the places that will serve the most people for the expenditure. To spend the entire $3 billion on any one of the projects would unnecessarily deprive the state of improvements in all of the projects that would benefit more Hoosier in more places throughout the state.

  2. Give it back to show an example. Printed money on a fiat currency with no plans to pay it back is robbery of future generations. Of course I know that will not happen, duh.

  3. Fiber isn’t the only way to get decent broadband speed. As far as getting all homes wired, particularly the rural areas, there’s more than just fiber or cable/coax. Indiana: meet StarLink, one of Elon Musk’s latest passions. It’s at a lower speed now but is getting faster later this year. The publicity generated by the affiliation shouldn’t hurt.
