To the current and future leaders of the City of Indianapolis:
Please immediately hire a seasoned professional and criminology expert named Scott Newman. Newman served as the elected Marion County Prosecutor for two terms and was widely praised as a devoted and successful prosecutor by members of both political parties. Crime and societal decay does care about political parties – they just destroy a community from the inside out.
Please take action to immediately hire Scott Newman so that our community can have a recognized leader and proven expert as our public safety director. Thank you.
Shreve just proved how unprepared he is to become the mayor of Indianapolis. Lifetime republican and just have to laugh. This is what it has come to. (I would have loved to have been in that meeting with his advisors. “What can we do to separate ourselves from what has proven to be the most disastrous mayor and administration in the history of Indianapolis. I know let say the same thing he is saying.”) Can’t make this up.
Shreve and Hogsett both have/will have to deal with the same garbage the state legislature doles out.
Hogsett has been pretty competent given the budget limitations, and it’s telling how infrastructure projects have exploded with the money from Biden administration.
I will agree that it’s pretty disingenuous that 7 years in, Hogsett suddenly grows a backbone and announces that he will actually try to lobby at the state house for gun law changes. I also suspect that if Shreve did the same thing, he’ll at least be past the “own the lib’s” barrier.
Dan: Hogsett lobbied legislators about gun legislation six years ago. Two years ago, the superintendent of the Indiana State Police did likewise–begging them not to loosen certain registration/availability regulations. It fell on deaf ears.
The rush-far-fright isn’t new—it’s on acid since 2017. Trumpism trickle-Down is not a pretty thing.
I recall Newman has Parkinson’s disease, diagnosed several years ago when he was maybe in his early 40s. Is he up to this. I also recall he resigned as Ballard’s Public Safety Director with a year or two of having the job. I don’t recall the reasons. But if he couldn’t do the job for Ballard, why would he be able to do the job for Hogsett? And finally, I recall Newman was involved in some gambling corruption issues, first prosecuting and then suddenly dropping the matter when powerful figures in Indy mumbled and grumbled. Is he really the person for the job?
Gun control exclusively in Marion County is of no significance. Guns can cross county lines very easily. They already cross state lines with no problems. Until guns are licensed, as we do with automobiles and drivers, we will not have safe communities. It takes state laws, even Federal laws, that are strictly enforced, to bring down gun violence. Indiana legislators are not listening to the people of this state. The Mayor and the Fool are both just posturing.
I agree it’s a fools errand to try to make changes at the city level. I also agree that until we have check-pointed borders (nvever going to happen) between states, it’s foolish to enact legislation at the state level, but until a significant number of states enact common sense gun laws, nothing will budge at the national level, so you need to start somewhere.
We need to treat guns like a public health issue, otherwise nothing will change.
Interesting that Shreve has supposedly spoken to legislative leadership about his gun proposal for Marion County. Maybe he’s only been the candidate for two months, but his party has had a super majority in General Assembly for years and those “leaders” have done nothing to assist the state capitol or any other city on gun and crime issues.
