The IndyStar article is pretty good. Aaron Freeman himself is a nut.
“He no nuts, he’s crazy.” And really doing a major disservice to the citizens of Indianapolis especially the working poor. But when the billionaire owners of Indy’s sports teams (Pacers, Colts, and now Eleven) need to expand or create a PSDA to funnel additional tax dollars for their stadiums, the Legislature doesn’t blink and rubber stamps w/o any debate.
Please. The entire expansion of the bus system has been a disaster. People are not riding the Red Line. The “build it and they will come” approach didn’t work. Now they want to, for the Blue line, shut down 3 of the 5 travel lanes on West Washington Street and in the process devastate local businesses.
I agree that Aaron Freeman had no problem with sticking Indy taxpayers for the bill when considering big corporate welfare projects when he served in the council. Apparently, it took his going to the legislature to finally start standing up for taxpayers and what is in the best interest of the public. And if anyone thinks the expansion of the bus system is truly about helping the people and not big money interests, that person needs to learn something about Indy politics, i.e. that any such proposal is always about shoveling taxpayer money to well-connected developers and contractors. Always.
Then he should simply just pass a bill prohibiting the bus service from expanding. Stop with the gotcha hoops that make no sense. Be flatly clear what he is after.
Recognize, though, that a majority of Indianapolis voters agreed for increased taxes to help fund this.
Paul O. They have 1/4 of the planned changes complete. I think once the redesign is completed, you will see some major improvements. Building the Redline does not make an entire public transit system. You and Freeman seem to have the same hatred and distrust. Are you white and upper middle class too?
This sets a really bad precedent. By State statute, utilities are sanctioned monopolies that can use the right-of-way for free with the stipulation that they move when requested. If IndyGo suddenly has to pay for utility relocation, what’s to stop utilities from lobbying to have relocations paid for with INDOT and other local transportation projects? This would thereby increase the burden placed on taxpayers for more expensive infrastructure or by not being able to maintain as much each year.
+1
Dan M. I thought we were supposed to see major improvements with the Red Line? Given that did not happen, now the story has been updated to “They have 1/4 of the planned changes complete. ….once the redesign is completed, [THEN] you will see some major improvements”. Or, maybe we’ll just have 4x the wasted monies [but wait, we don’t care if much of it is Federal monies wasted, right?]. I wonder what would happen if the vote was held again today… I’m not sure, but it would certainly be interesting given the failure of IndyGo to deliver on the red line promises they made before the vote…
Oh, and by the way, I liked how you had to add the race/socio economic comment to your post – not sure why you felt it relevant or appropriate, but it did highlight the underwhelming nature of your thought process, and revealed YOUR racist immaturity.
