Goldsmith represented none of those characteristics
Heehaw!
Goldsmith was one of the worst mayors we ever had! Sidewalk moratorium, street lamp moratorium, destruction of our public works department, failed attempt at privatizing IndyGo (which gave us less/worse service and was more expensive), opened the door to charter schools and property tax caps, and completely ignored the needs of neighborhoods. People are still paying for those sidewalk and street lamp moratoriums with their lives.
So true.
The streetlight moratorium was put in place in 1981 by Mayor Hudnut.
Whoops! My mistake.
“completely ignored the needs of neighborhoods?” You may be thinking about a different mayor. Have you walked through Fountain Square or Fletcher Place lately? Near north (previously referred to as “Dodge City” before his mayoral term)? Walked along the central Canal? More than $1 Billion invested in neighborhood infrastructure? Wrong on both sidewalk and streetlamp moratoriums. May want to revisit Indy historical data/facts.
Also…Yonkman has never been a public servant but feels that he’s qualified to dump all over the practice of civil service and public administration? I don’t disagree that there’s too much paperwork to get things done, but Yonkman is just repeating the tired Conservative trope of “government is inherently inefficient and civil servants are lazy slobs” (simultaneously ignoring that government tends to have significantly less overhead than the private sector).
