Yeah, this is really important for Indianapolis…much more important than repairing the streets so the area’s citizens can go about living their lives without spending hundreds of dollars on tires and wheels and suspension components for their vehicles.
There’s a good meme going around the internet; an older picture of Groucho Marx and a well-dressed lady. The bubble over her head says, “God sent Democrats.” The bubble over Groucho’s head says in reply, “Why? Was he out of locusts?” So true.
Bob is right. With the high homicide rate, aging infrastructure, the Redline issue, closing schools, high costs of health insurance, etc why in the world would legislators focus on climate change? This is the epitome of lunacy.
Most cities when they become one-party towns become a complete joke. I am sure there are a raft of consultants connected to these politicians that are going to make out for useless reports and advice.
Bob, the roads are in bad shape because of climate change- the freeze thaw cycle is now so dramatic that our roads are decaying quickly. Also, funding for roads has been insufficient for the amount of traffic we experience in Marion County.
Climate change is the big issue right now and after years of climate change denials from federal and state governments, local communities have to act. Regarding one party towns or states, how about supporting a non-partisan redistricting commission to have competitive bipartisan districts so one party doesn’t dominate and everyone has to learn to play together and be nice?
While climate changes is an important issue, I question the structure and the organization of the group. Environmental Justice is typically addressed in an environmental impact statement as related to specific proposed actions rather than an amorphous objective; for example, how does the Council plan to address this on a more micro level such as residence. Furthermore, minorities are not the only individuals living in older or even newer homes that may need weatherization; climate change notwithstanding, this is a maintenance issue. The lack of trees can be addressed by measures to provide or encourage property owners to plant and maintain them. Bear in mind many trees were felled in once leafy neighborhoods by property owner without or disregarding the benefit to property values or climate that trees provide. One would assume a local ordinance to ban felling trees, particularly on private property, would not be met with open arms. The objectives and means to address them should be carefully outlined. The Council has not relegated other major issues – those mentioned remain key, but the Council has a responsibility to be multi-faceted and citizens have a responsibility and right to question and inquire.
