Phony Conservative Governor Signs Mass Transit Boondoggle Legislation Into Law

Prepare to bend over and take it up the butt from fake Republican Mayors Greg Ballard, James Brainard and Andy Cook after they've been given the green light to hit you up for another local income tax increase to finance a regional mass transit boondoggle that will give an unelected, unaccountable regional authority control over billions of dollars in new taxing, spending and borrowing authority. Gov. Mike Pence said that, while he had "reservations about the sustainability of expanded mass transit services," he signed it into law anyway because it contains "no new, corporate tax." So what if taxes on individuals will increase sharply. This governor is absolutely at war with the working men and women of this state. His primary goal is to shift as many taxes away from businesses onto the backs of the working people as he possibly can. He could give a damn less about the tax burden on average Hoosiers. Here's a sampling of videos to demonstrate just why anyone who can avoid public transit will do so no matter how much of our tax dollars are spent subsidizing it.

I wonder if the referendum will be phrased the way the Wishard one was -one big lie. If they can't run the current bus system to their dream vision how can they be trusted with this? No one mentions that the enhanced bus ride from Fishers ceased once the federal money stopped- the one for Greenwood never progressed due to lack of riders-Don't know about the airport ride to downtown but I don't think that made it. I think that they will make sure it passes in Marion County. The other counties will turn it down and we the taxpayers will be stuck while the IndyGo siphons more money away for their ghost riders.

Gov. Mike needs to list the reservations he has about this mass transit boondoggle law, and why in the hell then, he thinks that it is ok for the Repulsives in power to make us Hoosiers fork over more tax money than we already are. Tyrants are they!!!

There is NO need for this mass transit. People would not use it. This is not a densely populated urban area. Hoosiers like their space, like the freedom of using their own cars to get around in a convenient way.

Governor Pence, this is NOT Manhattan! Stop wasting our money.

Those videos are clear examples of reasons why people outside of Indianapolis would not consider riding the mass transit bus.

Sure, instead of driving the Mercedes to work, I'm sure the residents of Carmel, Noblesville, Greenwood, Avon, Plainfield and Fishers will jump on the bus! -NOT!

I hope they have an Express route from Brightwood to the Palladium for the rap concerts! -After the rap concert, I hope they have a stop at Hamilton Town Center for shopping.

The Cleveland Regional Mass Transit Action Video

I don't think Hoosiers will use this Regional Mass Transit, and then we'll have to pay higher taxes for the cost to build it.

Crass transit is the ultimate destination of Republican Mass Tax-it.

Given the opportunity to lead (elected office); Indiana"Republicans" choose statism- MORE GOVERNMENT!

Principle, advertising & messaging problem...?

I read that IndyGo is 85% taxpayer funded. That means the service is primarily funded by non-users.

Those who use it, pay a token of the expense to operate it.

I think that means IndyGo must go. Eliminate an unneeded service that is a waste of money.

OCTOBER 12--The Cleveland bus driver who delivered an uppercut to an unruly female passenger told cops that he struck the woman after she grabbed his throat and spit in his face as he was driving, according to police reports.

Artis Hughes was interviewed by officers shortly after the September 18 confrontation with Shi'dea Lane, 25, on a Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) bus.

Video of the fight went viral online.

For some reason I don't fully understand, homosexuals love public transportation and want to funnel everyone into it.
