Unless Shreve stands on Monument Circle and declares his dislike for Trump he will not be a serious candidate as Trump at this time is the head of the Republican Party.
Not sure that Mike Pence is more popular than Trump in Marion County presenting another challenge to Jefferson.
This race is not about national politics. It is about all of the homeless/drug addicted people on the streets of downtown, the high crime and vandalism rates downtown, and the inability of the current administration to effectively manage and improve conditions so that workers and residents return to the downtown area. The vast majority of the great things happening in Indiana are happening outside of Marion County. Look at the governor and the mayors of those areas that ARE doing well – they are Republican led. We simply cannot withstand another term of Hogsett without our downtown becoming like every other liberal led city in the country.
Tired, inaccurate dog-whistle claims….
Hardly a dog whistle. I haven’t coded my words at all – merely stated the obvious, sorry if that triggers you. This problem is plain as day to anyone who has walked around downtown.
Are we not men/women enough to face things as they are?
I live downtown and wonder what city you’re talking about?
Rebecca W.
+1
We talking about the same downtown? Until we start turning all this commercial space into living space nothing will change.
Arresting people so they can immediately bail out and be back on the streets does nothing but waste tax payer dollars…
Hogsett isn’t a great mayor, but Shreve has no intentions of even being a good one from what I can see.
JJ,
Joe isn’t even a good Mayor.
And see JJ, this thinking is what has allowed the problem to fester. I would not advocate for arresting homeless or drug-addicted people (outside of committing a crime). I would advocate for implementing some solutions/laws regarding loitering, sleeping on the streets, panhandling, etc. with the use of homeless outreach and shelters, etc. I agree we should not waste taxpayer dollars, but rather spend them on helping those in need and discouraging the presence of those who are not in need but merely hanging around. In my mind, this does include additional police and outreach officers in the CBD, on foot and being seen in the area.
Rick S. Making the same tired leftist claim when they can’t refute an argument.
Neither of these jokers are worth voting for.
I know that compared to crime, homelessness, housing etc. that trash and weeds aren’t at the top of the list.
This city, which won national attention many years ago (under Bill Hudnut, Lugar and Peterson) for being clean looks, in many places, like a third world country.
The streets, in addition to being in disrepair, are urban trash piles outside of the mile square. North Keystone comes to mind.
I guess I feel like the ” broken window” theory applies to the quality of life in our city.
