Looks like Andre sees the dynasty crumbling.
yep. good riddance. the city should be able to self-sustain. it is called efficiency – something government is not good at. Ballard should know better – he was actually somewhat capable.
Now we just need a new mayor.
Baloney to both Ballard and Carson! Talk about self preservation of two has beens.
The system will continue to work, and maybe even better with 4 congressmen.
Continue to work? When has it ever worked?
It won’t, Kevin. Indiana Republicans have no interest in doing anything for Indianapolis except robbing its residents, and you know that. Get back to me when Indiana Republicans let Indy residents have early voting, close problem bars themselves, or properly funded roads.
Indianapolis deserves three dedicated represenatives – one for the northside of Indy and Hamilton County, one for the donut counties, and one for the remainder of Indianapolis. Until that takes place, it’s needs will be overlooked. And the state of Indiana will keep that from happening because – gasp! – some of those communities of interest might not vote for their candidates.
if you don’t like Andre Carson in office, blame the Indiana Republicans who keep him around on purpose.
Definitely seems like the article is slanted to agree with an agenda. Who says the 4 reps won’t have Indianapolis’ interest in mind? Four vs one may yield a better result.
As long as Dems are in power there is no hope.
Republicans like Hadn’t and Luger built Indy.
Rino Ballard and Hogsett made it what it is today: Dangerous homeless camp. Be proud
No, the system will not continue to work. Kevin you must live in a rural area. This is ridiculous.
The reality is that Carson has NEVER represented the ‘values’ of most of his constituency. Ballard’s presumption is absurd on its face. While we’re at it, how’s that multi million dollar world cricket headquarters coming along on the far east side……ooooh😳😂.
Hogwash. Metro Indy will probably be better represented in Congress with four representatives instead of the one we have now.
AGREE!
We don’t have a dedicated rep in Hamilton County. If we have to share with Marian County they deserve the same. In the end nothing will change in the screwed up political system. Even when parties have a majority many thing are never presented or passed. Braun couldn’t even get a decent real estate tax relief passed. $300 credit when you bill in in thousands . That isn’t squat.
How many Republicans have been discarded by TRUMP’s MAGA CULT ?
Carson and Wilson of UIndy are correct. Those reps whose district covers a portion of Marion County are unlikely to advocate for Indy projects. They are more likely to be swayed by constituents in other counties many of whom have deep pockets and little interest in Indy projects (like some members of the State legislature).
