Nothing would do more to get the legislature to leave the EED alone than arguing repealing it is about equity and democratic fairness.
Mr. Wood speaks of a lack of transparency in formulating the EED, ignoring the fact that the City-County Council held a public hearing before voting overwhelmingly to enable the EED.
What is not transparent is his organization, Defend Downtown. We don’t know who his “group of 500” are and whether they truly work or live in the Mile Square. Mr. Wood is a paid lobbyist for the American Jobs and Growth Fund, a Virginia-based group that is funding the effort to defeat the EED.
My fellow homeowners who live downtown have turned up to support the EED in hearings before the City-County Council and the House Ways & Means Committee. It also has the support of every legislator who is elected by the people of the Mile Square while the opposition is being led by those who do not represent anyone who lives downtown.
HB1199 is just another effort by those outside Indianapolis to keep those of us who live here from addressing the needs of our neighborhoods.
Why are downtown neighborhoods any different than any other “hood” in the city? Do the neighborhoods with off the hook crime issues get their own taxing districts. That something people could get behind.
