"The bonds will be general obligation bonds too. I always think: If this project is such a good deal, why not finance it with revenue bonds instead & leave the taxpayers off the hook? But, then again, nobody ever accused The Star of digging too deep into municipal financing..."

Because those in the know, know this is a money pit waiting to be filled with tax dollars. The plebs don't know the difference in a revenue bond or GO bond it's all tax money to them.

At least there will be a referendum in November to vote on a Marion County transportation tax. Expect the corporate propaganda machine to be in full operation for support especially since their 10% contribution was taken out of SB 176. Marion County townships can opt in even if the plan is rejected by the County by having their own referendum but at the cost of an increased local tax if approved. If riders are required to contribute 25% of the cost for the Red Line, it would seem that taxpayers would pay 75% of their ticket price to get them there.

If there are any fiscal conservatives in the legislature it would be good to now draft a bill for the next session to the effect that when the balloon bursts all the costs will be borne by Carmel, it's residents, its Republicans and that no State of Indiana money is to be diverted to Carmel, ever. Torr might carry such a bill?

Will Carmel housewife jokes make a come back? Duh Star is dumber than Wikipedia but operates on the same Orwellian principle. The memory hole is then complimented with Mao's observation that a lie repeated one hundred times becomes the truth.

Yes, Christine Accetturo. I am a Carmel resident who firmly believes the financial death knell is upon my willingly blind Ham County bedroom community brethren.

And just as that utterly feckless Indianapolis City County Council allowed a corrupt and duplicitous ex-marine to steal Marion County taxpayers blind, just as those useless, impotent Indianapolis City County Councilors allowed law breaking Ballard's every corruption to yet stand, the Carmel Council bows before their Emperor Attorney Mayor.

The Disneyland appearance of Carmel is financially unsustainable.
