It will be fun to get a copy of this bill to read now.
As previously constituted, the bill called for the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana to have an equal membership of the board, and any action had be approved by a majority. Now, based on the story, Republicans have the majority, and can do whatever they want, city be damned.
Further, it gives the Indiana Apartment Association – dubbed by a local *Republican* as the most disingenuous interest group in the state – the ability to opt out. They get all the benefit, and don’t have to pay for it.
Best yet for local Republicans, they can continue to blame the city of Indianapolis for downtown being awful because this screwed up governance structure is far too complicated to easily explain. Voters will continue to blame the mayor for something that Republicans control, while Republicans continue collecting the campaign contributions from the Apartment Association. It’s a genius plan from their standpoint.
Just think of it this way – future governor Mike Braun is going to get three nominees on this board of nine people. Recipe for disaster. And some of you are going to continue to proclaim the shelter was a bad idea to begin with, when all the people who did the legwork to get it to this point got pushed aside for a bunch of folks who will do things like add barriers (must attend church service!) to anyone who shows up.
From Greg Ballard’s chief of staff:
“I must say that in all my time in public service whether it was leading the Council, serving as the Mayor’s Chief of Staff, of just general community advocacy, I have never encountered a more disingenuous organization than the @AptAssociation and that’s saying something.”

I stand corrected.
The new bill requires that 6 of 9 members agree before the governing board can take action.

Sorry you might have to wait a day or two for the web page to get updated.
Comical.
How will this mitigate the homeless problem?
The city’s initiative dropped the problem on my doorstep. I guess the city sacrificed the homeowners on georgia street.
Still waiting for one of you yaysayers to buy all of us out.
I’d like a copy of the bill as well.
Where can I sign up to opt out of my taxes? I’d love to get the benefits of what everyone else is paying for without actually having to pay for it!
