TALK ABOUT A BAD WEEK
This has not been one of Mayor Bart Peterson’s better weeks. He lost Indy Works in the Legislature. There were massive traffic jams downtown during a motivational seminar during morning rush hour earlier this week. News broke that IFD bounced a check. And now A Shelby County Judge has ruled there’s no issue that Marion County owes the state $67 million in juvenile incarceration costs. The city tried to argue the state improperly charged the county for the costs of holding juvenile offenders. However the Court granted the State’s motion for summary judgment, holding there was no genuine issue of material fact and the city owed the state $67 million. No word yet on whether the City will appeal.
