Indy Works Fallout
The fallout from the Legislature’s failure to pass Indy Works could be even more far-reaching than originally anticipated. Both the recently agreed to contracts for the city’s police and fire fighter’s unions were both tied to the passage of Indy Works and the Mayor having a public financing plan to pay for public safety.
City officials are still trying to determine what impact the non-passage will have on the contracts. While it is not uncommon for a city-union contract to tied to a municipality’s ability to pay, most agreements don’t hinge upon a particularly piece of legislation.
More to come.
