Downtown Indy, you are a day late and a dollar short. The discussion regarded early voting in the City County Building. Several downtown voting sites require paying the parking meters but the city overlooks that on election day but it has never been made an official no pay day.

It is not a major expense to pay to park. It costs a quarter to park for 20 minutes.

A major expense is your property tax bill.

I wasn't aware voting location around the county with free parking weren't going to be available on Tuesday.

Not only that, I was under the impression all those poor folks who'd be burdened with that 'major expense' don't drive and that was the argument against the other 'major expense' of getting a state-issued ID from the BMV.

I knew we could count on a snarky comment from art/wilson. Who are the elitists here? What about the folks who hatched this deal two years ago in secret, snuck into the state budget bill, carved out a special law that avoided having to disclose to voters what they really planned to do--levy new property taxes to build the new hospital, force a special election at a cost to taxpayers of $1.25 million, lie to the public about their true intentions, use revenues derived from a scam on the federal government to support this endeavor, use taxpayer resources to promote their referendum and the list goes on. You're as bad as Steve Nicewanger, a Democratic activist who called Carl Moldthan a maggott and me a Nazi because we opposed the Wishard referendum. Now it's the hard-working, honest taxpayers who provide information to the public for free as a matter of civic virtue who are the bad guys. We're suppose to believe that people who plot to undermine the democratic process are the good guys?

I find your comments elitist. The city county building is only convenient for those who work downtown. Otherwise it is a major expense to pay to park. There is something wrong about having to pay to park in order to vote. Perhaps the Senior Citizen Center should charge voters to park while voting in your precinct.
