I agree with the guy above complaining about all the money being sought for Tarkington park. Ridiculous in this environment of unfixed potholes and the third world status of streets on the east side.

8:21, DMA are moving from Fort Wayne's northside to the new location, not from their Indy office!

Former IEDC co-head Eric Doden benefits from a sweetheart, heavily subsidized apartment development currently under construction two blocks from this heavily subsidized project.
The self-dealing in Fort Wayne is now in full bloom.

Put simply; TIFs are collateralized with the property of private citizens & productive sector. TIFs are unConstitutional, wanton acts of consumptive / public sector gluttony & greed.

TIFs consume & destroy areas, by escalating counterfeit value assumptions of statists who demand ever increasing taxes from those "trended" to a new & inorganic, subsidized-shiny "standard." As existing residents & businesses discover they can't keep pace (read also can't afford) with demands of the "new standard" taxing trends; they move and / or close their businesses; to escape these predictable abuses of statism. The few principle deficient principals who benefit from these schemes (insiders, operators), simply move on to the next scam. Their cover is one of proximity to big law; the single greatest incubator of corruption in our time.

Typical musical chairs. The prior
landlords have lost their soon to
be prior tenants. Regardless,
parking absolutely stinks in
downtown Fort Wayne near the
CourtHouse.

Another large office space on the northside of Indianapolis vacated. Most likely many of its workers will relocate to Ft. Wayne. When will city officials begin to focus attention on the part of the city that has economic assets in need of protection. The largest proportion of tax dollar revenues in Marion County are generated along the E. 82nd/E.86th St. Corridor. Yet, the degradation of fire and police services continues. Tax increases don't bring services to us like they provide Downtown and "Midtown". Nearly $10,000,000 is being sought for Tarkington Park at Meridian&38th for a park with over the top facilities(about half of Park's budget). It's difficult to rent office space when the roads leading up to the buildings are in the condition that would make 3rd World Countries blush. Thank you, Michael McQuillen for not assigning District 3 Councillor, Christine Scales to the Public Works Committee to protect our assets(sarcasm intended).

Wow. Picking winners and losers for sure! When will politicians stop playing sim city with tax money?
