I am actual property tax paying homeowner living in Marion county, not one of the student minions sent out with talking points, not the doctors which probably do not live in Marion County, not a renter having no vested interest in property ownership, nor am I the editor of the Star which chose to endorse this giving approximately one paragraph to the reasons to vote no. Since they have all fallen negligent in their duties , I shall give you the homeowner voter a few reasons to vote no. They have told us, "No tax increase to you". If that is the truth they would use general revenue bonds to build this. They told us, they do not need our money-Then great, leave us out of it and go ahead and build it-So vote No.
The truth is they are trying to turn the argument from funding which you will pay, to wants and needs using the poor and our injured policeman in the process. When you say no, they will go ahead and do the right thing and build it without obligating the property taxpayer-Vote No

DI,

I wouldn't put too much stock in that. I have no doubt there is a lot more individual support for the Wishard referendum than three individuals.

It is probably something that would earn a red flag from the IRs.

"The outpouring of support for a new Wishard that we have received from across the community has been amazing..."

The three - count 'em - three folks from the community who've contributed $125 to the effort so far?

If there's really an 'outpouring of support' it's clear they are not pouring out money.

Whatever mass of humanity they're referring to, I'm confident it will find itself generating an even larger outpouring of amger once they discover they were duped by the 'no taxpayer money' (broken) promise.
