  1. I have no issues with Indiana saving and being conservative but the money the state is getting from the government should be spent to do everything they plan and more if Indiana is to keep up with surrounding states.I would love to see investment into a major attraction in Indy and make white river a tourist attraction.Theres no need in holding on to all the money, they should spend it to make Indiana a more desirable place to live and to attract out of state talent as well as keep homegrown talent. Indiana definitely has a perception problem that needs to be addressed.

  2. “Big Things” like a White River State Park or other tourist attraction have been abandoned because it seems to come down to the right set of people being able to control the money generated and then there’s the problem of Race in this city that makes coming together “problematic”.

    1. Your comment is problematic, Charles. It sounds like you might be the problem here.

  3. I applaud the conservative money management of the Indiana government. Spending every penny now is a recipe for debt and disaster, kind of like driving a car until the gas tank is empty instead of leaving enough in the tank to make to another gas station. How the money is spent is always debatable.
