According to a June 29th post by adjunct scholar Andrea Neal on the Indiana Policy Review, a David versus Goliath battle is taking shape as Indianapolis citizens prepare to vote this fall on a controversial tax increase to upgrade public transit.
On one side: the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, IndyGo bus officials and hired guns touting the benefits of an all-electric rapid bus line that would eventually link Westfield in Hamilton County to Greenwood in Johnson County via downtown Indianapolis.
On the other: a rag tag group of citizens who’ve done their own cost-benefits analysis and say the plan was designed expressly to leverage federal transit funds without consideration of what would be best for Indianapolis.
