Let the quibbling begin!
What about all the riot damage the mayor did not protect?
That should cover the damage to the downtown businesses, that Hogsett was complicit in destroying with his stellar leadership.
$3.6mm for new desktop computers. Never let a crisis go to waste…
$5.5mm for a cloud-based phone system. Anyone at the IBJ challenging these items being “virus-related”?
Andrew …You are so correct….About time these over killer s of the cities who act like Tyrants stand on their own merits…I want none of my tax dollars to bailout any city who did not protect businesses…
They are for remote working capability
Any details on the “RESTART Grants”? Who qualifies? Application process?
The 20K for face cover awareness campaign is being recategorized as the false sense of security training program!
$ 350,000 for street modifications for Expanded Outdoor Seating, with the lawlessness we saw in downtown Joe getting people inside the restaurants is going to be a challenge. Ask Prime 47 when the next time they will have outdoor seating, my guess never ever again. No sense in providing projectiles to throw through the windows for the Marxist thugs. Hogsett is got to be the dumbest and most unlucky Mayor. The day you open up outdoor seating is the day you tell your Police force to stand down, that’s leadership at it’s finest.
You have to fund ANTIFA and BLM somehow. Taxpayer must pay for our own destruction.

The mayor is making a serious run at the Worst Leadership Award. If he keeps this up he will end up in the US Congress.
Maybe he should divert some of the funds to fix his grill.
For all you naysayers, take it up with your Congressional representatives. The funds have many strings and must be related to coronavirus responses and effects.
How about something for all the arts organizations that have been affected by this overblown crisis? 20 million for contact tracing and testing?
Holcomb and Hogsett need to pay all the business owners DT they did not protect from the vandalism and looting. The State has the surplus money they took from other departments where they cut funding. IDNR, specifically, IDOF budget is so low apparently, they resort to logging viable trees in all Indiana Forests to supplement their budget. This isn’t harvesting, forest management as they claim. These are acres and acres of good viable trees cut down because IDOF apparently doesn’t have enough money.
Why do you think in Gov. Holcomb’s January 14, 2020 State of the State Address speech he mentions DNR planting 1
million trees over the next 5 years? Is he trying to makeup for the millions of trees he has allowed DOF to cut down for money? It took many, many years for those viable trees to grow. Holcomb thinks his little saplings which will take one’s lifeline to grow, will replace the ones removed for profit.
This is only one area that infuriates me. There were many programs where funding was cut to get the surplus.
The State owes all the business owners compensation for all their losses. These businesses are what makes Downtown Indy great, and the State failed to protect them.
