This bill is a giant upturned middle finger from legislators who are stealing gas tax money from Marion County and spending it on their state highways in places where no one in Indiana wants to live despite having overbuilt state highways. Call it what it is, infrastructural welfare.
Base road funding on the number of cars that use the roads each day.
Let me get this straight. Indianapolis is seeing multi-million dollar property tax revenue cuts from the state and now the state offers to increase road funding but only if the city coughs up more money they don’t have.
It sounds like the legislature thinks Indy is intentionally under spending on roads or more likely this is a performative gesture and now they can say they threw us a lifeline but only if we catch this big rock first.
