The State is not beating my allegations that they’re involved in the MLS bid.
Hope they had some extra hooch in the suite if our esteemed Mayor was there. Surprised this contingent of people made it to the Pacers game and didn’t fall in a car-sized pothole.
Worst. Indy. Mayor. Ever. A complete joke.
Michael. I you really that negative and nasty? Hope not.
As for MLS — soccer is a growth sport, with an international and youthful appeal. Get that team!
As for potholes, they are horrendous, some roads have deteriorated to third world status. The city does a poor job with the limited funds they have to repair and replace, but you have to put a lot of the blame on state lawmakers and Indiana’s road funding formula. Rural areas get the same dollars per mile as the cities do, even if most of their roads are one lane each direction and get minimal use. Indy streets are typically, 4, 6, 8 lanes wide, yet Indiana pays us the same per mile as they do rural roads. Very unfair, very backwards, especially since cities like Indy and Ft. Wayne are economic drivers and have considerably more traffic. I suspect it’s an anti-urban bias that is deeply rooted in the state and in the Statehouse.
David, generally agree with your comments, however, look at how much money the city spent installing several bus lines that nobody uses.
David – I’m an Indy native who loves this city – what the Mayor has done to it is negative and nasty. I have every right to be disgusted with him. But thanks!
9 Billion in Investment. Balanced Budgets every year. Highest revenues ever. Pandemic crime wave stopped. Booming Convention economy. Pay increases and highest funding levels for public safety ever.
Truly disgusting…..
Ike, except for the failing infrastructure, everything’s great? But this is Indy and we do all have to drive on these terrible streets. I’ve been here for my entire adult life (decades) and do not remember the streets, sidewalks, curbs, storm drains, and manholes ever being in such terrible condition.
Applying investments, particularly along College that would have no doubt occurred regardless and tabulating it as direct Tod investment is so disingenuous. Praising the furtherance of debt service is laughable as well.
Sad but it is what it is.
Sounds like a bunch of high rollers gambling with tax payers dollars in a private suite funded by tax payers .
Some of y’all seem to have no idea that both the IEDC & CIB have their own suites at Lucas Oil and Gainbridge. Questionable use of money – sure – but it’s not like a suite was reserved specifically for this meeting.
That’s just a long way of furthering the original point.
Yes.
Ruthless of the mayor to do this the SAME day Ersal’s Intercontinental opens…
I want the Kool-Aid my man Ike is drinking! Ignorance is truly bliss.
