Wow we need all the funds we can get. The roads in this City just keep getting worse. Most all of the downtown streets need to be repaved.
First, shout out to Aaron Freeman, who I bash relentlessly, for doing something. But not going to lie, the “local match” someone inserted into the bill is nonsense.
It is money that is being stolen from Marion County taxpayers by Indiana legislators. The concept that Marion County only gets a sliver the money owed if we find more money, that we aren’t putting enough skin in the game, is malarkey. I don’t see how it’s fundamentally different than dealing with a ransom demand from a kidnapper.
It’s too bad the city can’t raise the money for the local match by claiming the parking lot used by legislators via eminent domain and selling it to a developer.
It’s a technical correction. AF didn’t do anything laudable.
It’s better than nothing, though it’s a drop in the literal bucket and the rest of the bill reeks of the disrespect that Marion County Republicans have for the government of the city of Indianapolis.
A broken clock is right twice a day, unless that clock is Sen. Michael Young in which case the space time continuum doesn’t apply and it’s closer to being right once a decade.
Since first reading about this proposed change earlier in the year I have not seen any explanation of where the estimated funds currently are distributed. Do the three townships with their own fire departments received the funds? It seems the populations of the townships have to be counted somewhere, so where are they and the funds allocated currently?
Aaron Freeman acts as though he accomplished something. Man is still an idiot with a vendetta against Indianapolis.
Finally Aaron Freeman actually does something for Indianapolis – but this was a no-brainer. How about fighting for Indy with the Republican supermajority to get paid fairly (by lane miles) for our roads? So tired of Indiana Republicans trying to hurt their largest city and capital. This is especially bad when they are supposed to represent Indy, like Freeman.
Excited about this! They can repave 0.25 miles of road and fix a sidewalk. Nice.
Why the emphasis on “vehicle miles traveled” (since a literal determination of those is practically impossible) rather than on total “lane miles” of roads and streets? The latter is easily calculated: one mile of a two-lane street = two lane miles, a three-lane street = three lane miles, etc.). Obviously Indianapolis and most of its suburbs have more multi-lane streets than 90 percent of the state’s other towns and counties. And “lane miles” is what most state transportation departments use in their road funding formulas.
