Comments on Advance Indiana™: Consultants Billed IndyGo $1.3 Million For Red Line Work

IndyGo is being exposed little by little.
Questions to ask:
What happens to the small businesses along the route during construction and when parking is taken away?
Where is the money coming from? IndyGo is being very vague about this. They are trying to get this first phase built so they can claim we have to support it.
What happens to all of the other parts of IndyGo when the Red Line sucks up so much money?
What about the people who need public transportation for daily living? People on the East and West sides.
Why spend millions of dollars building little bus stations all along the route while streets crumble?
Why would we give such a blank check to IndyGo and its cronies?
Why is the Chamber of Commerce so involved? Isn't it a conflict of interest for Mark Fisher to be sitting on all of the transit boards?
Who picks the winners and the losers?
This is business as usual.
I have tried for two months to get a meeting that was promised to me by Mayor Hogsett about this and all I get is a threatening phone call from his Chief of Staff.
The Red Line is not being rammed through to improve transit. If we really wanted to improve transit it would be done across the entire network, not focused on 1-3 select lines.
The Red Line is being put in so developers can develop the College Avenue corridor.
Just look at their renderings of College Avenue in the future; it does not resemble today at all.
The IndyGo is really taking us on a ride with this; an express bus to financial failure, crumbling roads, higher taxes and fat developers.
The "In the Red" Line costs a lot of dollars but makes no sense.

Commendable action Gary on securing information through a FOIA request. It's just the beginning of what's to come should IndyGo's coffers be filled each year with taxpayers' money.

It makes sense why all these people hate Trump. I hope that when the GOP kneecaps him he steps back and builds a 3rd party that can win in 2020. If he does, I'm in. Me and millions of other former Goppers.

Government consultants...the new welfare. It's just a taxapyer-funded gravy train. Get a woman or a person of color to front your little tax grabbing consulting operation and you're just about guaranteed free handouts at the taxpayer expense. The whole system is corrupt. Burn it down.

Despicable. Just totally despicable. Which, in Indianapolis, means the corruption can stink to the heavens but it will continue, no matter what.

Every corporation, person, or legal entity involved in this should be immediately investigated and brought before a Judge. It won't happen of course. And if it did, the Judge would be bought and paid for and the outcomes determined before the trials were even called to order.

"Too political to touch". I ran across that phrase in the following article. It will resonate with me for the rest of my days on this earth.

It is sad how that phrase is applicable from the very highest to the very lowest levels of "politics" in this country.
