  1. Wait … Indianapolis has been shorted road funding for decades. They can only get the money they’ve been owed, money that has been taken from them, if they find matching funds? And this is supposed to be progress?

    It’s beginning to feel like a hostage situation. Maybe the city should hire someone with experience in negotiating with terrorists.

    Or, maybe Indianapolis area Republicans should grow a spine and refuse to vote for a budget with nonsense like this.

    1. There’s several, thanks to gerrymandering. Here are the six Senate Republicans who have Marion County as part of their districts.

      Aaron Freeman
      Jack Sandlin
      Mike Speedy
      Michael Young
      Michael Crider
      Kyle Walker

      I bash Freeman plenty because he fights the best option for fixing roads, adding bus lanes. I get he doesn’t like the lane reduction but adding bus lanes delivers lots of cash to fix the entire road.

      But he at least attempted to right a wrong from the last 50 years … and got told the city had to raise matching funds. While I enjoy the irony given that the same thing he foisted on IndyGo a few years ago, I’m also tired of the state of Indiana stealing road money from Indianapolis. There’s no other description for what’s happening.

      If those six were smart, they’d realize that their suburban constituents will be feeling the road funding pinch soon enough and he’d be making alliances with Indiana Democrats on this issue. But when your loyalty is to your donors and party and not your voters, you just shrug and say it’s a “complex” issue.
