To Anon 6:31 and other similarly minded Marion County taxpayers.... if wishes were horses, we'd all be riding. Corny? Trite? Possibly. But so is the idea that Democrat or Republican politicians and their machines actually care what you or I think on the matter of "sports stadiums".

Justin Moed had an interesting comment in today's Star article, "expressing concern about the limited space around the stadium for economic development". This is what it's really about for Ozdemir and the downtown mafia - mixed use development around a taxpayer-financed stadium. Yet another money pit of shiny new things for downtown.

IUPUI has wanted for years to use the land for something else anyways so they're inherently onboard.

I wish Ozdemir would move back to Turkey and beg them to TAX AND SPEND to make him rich.

Here in Indianapolis, I say NO to giving our tax money away. I say NO to sending money overseas to Turkey.

P. S. I also said NO to that loser Cricket field that cost taxPAYERS big money.
