We went to the new central library (the one that is $50M over budget and 2 years late). Here we pay tax to build, run, etc the library stystem and come to find out you have to pay to park in the new garage! We were there a little over an hour and it was $2.00. Maybe we could have done without all the fancy comissioned art work and funny looking chairs to have free parking!

Projects such as your new library down there should hurt. The negligence of the taxpayer is what brought the property tax mess to you.

Instead of objecting to the memorials to government that Indianapolis schools have become (when I visit my parents' I drive by Ben Davis High School, aka Taj Mahal), Indianapolis residents sat on the sofa and watched television. Government spent your money like it was nothing to them. I'm glad it is hurting; I wish it would hurt more.

The person responsible for your property taxes is the person in your bathroom mirror.

The person responsible for your property taxes is the person in your bathroom mirror.

I beg to disagree, the person in the mirror is responsable (amoung others) for getting the current tax-and-spend mayor/city councel fired! Also library spending is controled by a non-elected taxing unit of local government.
