I’ll drink to that.
Don’t drink in a car, you may hit a pothole and spill it on your lap.
A resignation will not be forthcoming and he will get re-elected if he runs again.
He’s term limited – three consecutive four-year terms per local ordinance.
Trena, where did you get that info? Never heard it before. ?
There are no term limits for elected city officials. Reference: IN Code § 36-4-5-2 (2024)
However….if you look at WFYI website from May 20, 2015….
“Hogsett Says Term Limits For Indianapolis Mayor Should Be Restored”
Democratic Indianapolis mayoral candidate Joe Hogsett says he favors term limits for the office.
During a drizzle outside the city-county building, Hogsett laid out how he says he would make city government more open and transparent.
He says he would turn down the perks and gifts of being mayor and not accept travel paid for by outside groups. Hogsett says he would push the city-county council to restore term limits for mayor, two four year terms.
“Eight years is long enought to accomplish what you want to accomplish,” he said.
Even if the council doesn’t go along, he says, he would still step down after eight years.
“Term limits keep the foot on the accelerator to try to get the business of the city done in a timely and efficient way,” he told reporters.
Hogsett also wants to tighten ethics and lobbying rules and increase competition in city contracting.
Hogsett, a former U.S. attorney and Indiana secretary of state is running against Republican businessman Chuck Brewer.
His eight-point ethics platform:
Renounce all perks of the office
Complete transparency in out-of-state and overseas travel
Restore two-term limit for mayor
Refuse speaker fees
Audit city spending and operations
tighten ethics code loopholes
Regulate lobbying
Increase competiton in city contracting
Agree with Thomas. Boss Hogsett could have tentacles sprouting from his nostrils and Indy’s machine will re-elect him…again and again…until cirrhosis finally ends his mayorship.
And, it took me a long time to come around, but I’ll finally agree: Indy’s roads are indeed worse than average. I’ve still seen worse–mostly in the Deep South or places where higher-than-average seismic activity causes concrete to split. But Deep South? C’mon Indy. The roads are, even among the already low bar of other similar cities, probably a C-Minus…and indeed are a D-Minus when compared to the nation as a whole.
So I will acknowledge that I was wrong in many respects about the road quality. Yet there are people here who routinely blame the State for Indy’s bad roads. I didn’t realize that the State was the primary funding source for local roads? Given that 98% of the road network in Indy is the responsibility of the county/city (basically the same thing in Indy), will those people–the same ones often defending Hogsett because of the letter after his name even when they know he’s basically phoning in the job–acknowledge that potholes in municipal roads aren’t a state problem?
No, because my Republican City County Council member told me the issue is due to the state road funding formula, which accounts for neither road width nor traffic and diverts most of the money to INDOT to spend on state highways used by comparatively few Hoosiers between places where no one wants to live. That should surprise no one when the lead legislator for roads comes from a town (Rolling Prairie) without a stoplight.
I’ve watched city pothole patch after pothole patch end up in my yard while INDOT has so much money they’re installing turn lanes up and down SR135.
Joe Hogsett might be an ineffective mayor who only remains in office because the Marion County Republican Party can’t find anyone willing to run for the office. But just a reminder that the fix that Greg Ballard gave us was signing away parking meters for 75 years, which only left enough money to throw some asphalt on top of the crumbling infrastructure and declare success. Even Ballard couldn’t convince his fellow Republicans to invest in Indianapolis.
It does not matter what Hogsett says about running for a 4th term (which he could). He should not be believed in anything he says. What an absolute disaster.
