Statehouse Update

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

The Indiana State Senate, by a voice vote, amended the current CIB funding plan to adopt the Mayor’s finance proposal.  A final vote could come later this week. 

Meanwhile, City-County Council Democratic Leader Joanne Sanders will have a news conference tomorrow to share her ideas on how to fung the CIB shortfall.  Monday she told me her preference is to capture more donwtown revenue by expanding the amount of sales and income tax captured in the area to pay for the CIB operations costs, an idea the Ballard adminstration has privately been pushing at the Statehouse for a while.
