Give WCTY about a week to put the meeting online. The live streaming of the meeting last night wasn't working, and now they're waiting long periods of time before they put the archived video of council meetings online. They used to be up within an hour of the end of the meeting. It infuriates some council members when I post clips of their bad form online.

Please list the voters for this taxpayer fraud.

Gary, you are absolutely correct in every point you make regarding this ludicrous move by the world's worst politicians.

Democrats prove they are owned by big transnational corporations and by big money and RINO Republicans without an ounce of sense prove they can be manipulated by pay to play brokers.

The literature evidences a growing body of evidence that these social programs do NOT work and actually devastate families than help and nurture them.

Ballard will go down as the very worst mayor this City ever had the misfortune to twice elect.

Democrats and Republicans know it's all about the money and the CONTROL... damn the State Constitution and the State laws.

This isn't about Tulley or Lilly-it is about the council overstepping their bounds in approving this which had an air about it of "the fix is in". There is something illegal about this and that is where taxpayer legal lawyers are needed. There aren't any and Carl Moldthan is no longer alive.
This is supposedly a 4 yr. pilot program but logic says that success can be only gaged if you track these children for 18 yrs. It also selects children but not all children some of which qualify but will be rejected. Regardless of the merits, Pre-k is the job of the state which also will be noted pre-k has not been approved but there are applications being taken and they too have nice children in t-shirts appearing. Where does that approval leave the city of Indianapolis. Excluded?
Last but not least, somewhere in here are the rules of the 1-2-3 about schools and funding and referendums. I suspect that is ignored as well.
This council is wrong and remember their names when voting.

I must have read or viewed at least 50 stories in the local media about this pre-K proposal, and I don't recall a single one that did more than restate the talking points of the advocates. It's not a public debate when only one side of the issue is discussed. You would think we were living in a totalitarian dictatorship operating under strict media censorship rules.

Remember when Lilly used Indianapolis' homeless population as human guinea pigs?

"When The Wall Street Journal reported in 1996 that the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly was recruiting homeless alcoholics for research studies, Lilly responded by hiring an expert bioethics panel led by Tom Beauchamp of Georgetown University. The panel argued that not only was testing drugs for safety on homeless people reasonable, provided proper procedures were followed, but also that “it would be unfair to exclude homeless persons categorically as a group.” Beauchamp and another panelist, Robert Levine of Yale, went on to become paid ethics consultants for Lilly." https://medium.com/matter/did-big-pharma-test-your-meds-on-homeless-people-a6d8d3fc7dfe

Education is NOT a local government function.

Public Safety is a local government function. Ballard has depleted public safety, lowered police staffing and removed fire apparatus as if he is ignoring the most important function in local government.
