Do you want the election or not? In the old days, this would be a done deal. It would have been a petition battle and it never would have come in front of voters.

Because we now have this election, you can go to the polls and vote down this referendum.

You have the right to do that. Your side also has the right to organize and make yoru arguments heard. Beyond the blogosphere, I'm not hearing it.

So, why gripe about how much the election is going to cost when it was the "taxers" that brought forth this entire referendum thing in the first place.

GIPC is a taxpayer-funded nonprofit housed in our own City-County Building. It is a tool of the elite insiders and always has been. It's the organization they use to cook up deals to put our taxpayer dollars into their greedy hands.

Better to surprise the taxpayers later. Hope the Mayor and GIPC and the Chamber and the Star come and stand before the public for their comeupence when the tax increase hits the fan. I don't want to hear a single, "but Gutwein said...". They are bright enough to know what securing bonds with property tax revenues means.

Gary,
As a student at IUPUI, I can verify that we all got an e-mail from the Chancellor. It's the exact same as the newsletter you linked to. I imagine it's also the same that employees got too.
The ironic part of all this, at least from my perspective, is this referendum would pass if they were honest and open about everything (tax increases, etc...). So why they're pushing it through in such a hush-hush way confuses me greatly.
