We need full time councilors. Increase the pay to allow your local councilor to devote their full time to responding to their constituents, learning/studying the issues, and by providing real oversight. It will provided huge dividends that would save the City way more than it would cost. City Gov is too complex and too time intensive to be part time on top of another job.
You must be a rookie!
Yes, what could go wrong?
You actually must be, Kevin. Anyone who’s ever looked at the 1.6 Billion budget once would know you need a full time council to scrutinize spending and press for accountability in committee meetings. Thanks for trying.
Murray, I agree. Plenty of things go wrong with a part time council as is. Like Councilors working for the Marion County Fair who then give themselves funding….
The author makes this practice sound like a good thing. Professional full time politicians is not a good thing.
Well that’s interesting. Could you point out where the author made their opinion known? As usual, I see little to no opinion from the reporter in this IBJ story.
All of these councilors are new to the council. I think for all three, it is their first elected office.
With all of the BS the city spends our tax dollars on, I would be more than happy to see the councilors receive another bump, maybe to mid $50k range, allowing them to fully focus on this job. And a provision that they cannot have other outside work. Obviously, that gets quite complicated, but ensuring they have the ability to fully commit to the city, with a pay that no one is “getting rich off of”, will get us qualified officials that actually care to make change and improve the mess we have now.
50K isn’t even close to the “median” income of Hoosiers, which means you’ll get retirees and below average workers at that level of pay.
You are correct-ish…. $36k is the state of IN median income.
Complete Goat Rope. All we hear from this council is more money more money. Taxes, Raises. Why don’t you do something. Thats a novel idea. Detroit/Cleveland here Indy comes.
