It seems that we have trouble. Yes trouble right here in Indianapolis.

It now seems that our former Mayor (that has left town) has left this city in such a financial mess that we will be in the red in just three short years. “Whether they send their children to its schools, use its libraries and stadiums or ride on its buses, the people who live and pay taxes in Marion County are about to enter an era of cuts in government service.” In other words we will have a first class city who is broke.

Here are a few cost cutting that was mention in the star. I am sure that we could come up with more that would save more money.
BUS SERVICEIndyGo might have to look at reduced hours, how often buses run a route and whether it can keep providing weekend service (how many times have you seen an empty bus going down that route?)
IPSThe district has identified $12 million in cuts so it can give teachers raises next year. (With our current economical situation how many of you are getting raises?)
LIBRARIESThe Library Board has dipped into reserves to avoid service cuts. One that has been mentioned: closing some branches on Sundays.
(How much did that new library cost in the end? And was this not a bond issue that is still unpaid? )
LUCAS OIL STADIUMThe new stadium will cost $10 million more a year to run than the RCA Dome did, money that wasn't built into the financing package.

“Now here I call on the colts and stadium fans to come to the aid of the new stadium. You know who you are, you that defends this deal every time its on the Star forum. You, the one who does not mind sending your money to Mr. Irsay and pro-sports. We will be watching for your idea’s on this one”
