  1. Within a one mile radius of where I am right now in Marion County sits at least 4x the population of Ohio County. But apparently we’re worthy of 20x less road funding.

  2. The GOP is an antiquated extremist party that is falling apart. They only care about their narrow base. GOP first, definitely not Indiana or America first. MRGA. Make Republicans great Again. Their leader is a criminal so it’s not surprising.

  3. Technical point: VMT is not the same as lane miles.

    Lane miles are as described: length of a street time the number of lanes wide.

    VMT is a measure of road use, the distance traveled per vehicle per year on all streets, roads, and highways.

    1. Because the downtown TIF is an unjust mechanism. They don’t have to be related. Most legislative compromise isn’t.

    2. While I don’t support this, it’s worth noting that Indianapolis is the only city in the state that’s allowed to have a permanent TIF like that. There’s a ton of special purpose legislation that benefits Indy in addition to that which disadvantages it.
