The only experience the finance authority has in water related issues is reappropriating water supplies without the proper research or the approval of the entities served by the aquifer.
We can be like every other state that has not taken this topic seriously or actually get out in front of it.
If you don’t believe water management is an issue, then all you have to do is look at our Western and desert SW states. They are running out of drinking water and they have waited so long to rectify the issues that the Feds are now involved and the control has been removed from the states and now sits in Federal hands.
Indiana needs to stop waiting for everyone else and actually lead for a change.
Amen
Correct BS. Water is one of our most precious resources and we need to safeguard it however we can
The only question here is; which politicians and IEDC members are being bribed, and for how much?
Really, Chuck W. all you have is some lame claim of bribery? How about Eli Lilly and others promise to bring millions in property tax revenue (eventually) and relatively high paying jobs to an area of the state that doesn’t have much of either. And construction workers will have jobs, and the folks who build infrastructure like roads and sewers and water lines. Who knows, maybe people will want to move nearer their jobs, creating opportunities for new housing and supporting businesses.
I don’t support the water withdrawal until its beyond doubt it won’t hurt the Lafayette and other areas dependent on that water being available. I don’t want to rob Peter to pay Paul. But bribery of officials…no I don’t think so. There are lots of questions here…for serious minds.
To Tim S,
Great response to Chuck W. Well stated.

Deery is correct when he says, “because it will let business know what to expect, and it will let the public know we’re establishing a framework.” As a business owner one of the things I look for is stability and managed risk. There would be no way that I would commit to investing hundreds of millions or more than a billion dollars in the LEAP district if I wasn’t sure the water would be there. As the previous comment mentions, the lack of planning in water rights is no choking the SW US. The state has to get out in front of this issue and these bills seem like a good place to start the conversation, at lease have the debate. My concern is that like most things the legislature will just kick the can down the road.
