The blame for bad roads in Indianapolis remains with state legislators, not Joe Hogsett. We don’t have the money for good roads in Indianapolis because the state steals it while our legislators do nothing.
My hunch is that the state is waiting for a republican mayor before they will get serious about taking care of the most important city in the state. I wish that these politicians would do what is the best for our state and Indianapolis and stop playing the game.
Disagree. They’d want a Republican mayor to come in and maybe sell some more city assets off to short-term fix the issue without a dime of state money, like Ballard did with parking meters and utility companies. But that’s only because it would give them breathing room.
There was allegedly a president in the early 1800s who underfunded the new roads being built to and in the West, leaving them in bad shape similar to Indianapolis’ streets today. He supposedly was taken on a long ride on one such poor road during a visit west, after which he gave more support. Perhaps every legislator should be busted out this session from the bubble around the Statehouse and forced to ride at least four or five hours over some of Indy’s most primo streets. It probably wouldn’t change the politics that keep state road funding stuck on road miles, but each legislator would at least have a taste of the bone rattling and axle busting that Indianapolis residents face every single day as they drive to work and home.
This. No joke.
We have lots of Marion County legislators who deal with bad roads every day. That’s why I’m constantly mystified as to their impotence on road funding.
