In a casual conversation in a neighborhood on the city's southeast side, the question, "Where's the Money?" was stated quite a bit. Then today, it was stated one too many times and drove us to start making public statements (a blog). A few people in Indianapolis and a few more in Indiana make deals with corporations every day that harm the residents. This blog will identify those deals as we learn about them - often long after they've happened - and hopefully identify what the People can do about it.
Some examples:
the $5 million in clawback money the city is getting from Navistar closing is proposed to go to IDEI and ICVA instead of the people and groups it would have gone to as actual property tax payments (i.e. schools, parks...)
the money taxpayers are still paying for arenas in downtown Indianapolis that have been torn down, in the name of building new buildings that will bring additional tourism and revenue and jobs, when in reality we've gotten below poverty wage jobs and the revenue from tourism goes to corporate headquarters not located in Indianapolis.
these are just to name a few...

A critique, lament, or general info about Money and Power in Indiana. Who has it? Who's hiding it? How is it being used against Us? What can the People do about it?
