Friday: One week left to save $35 million a year
Snow plow drivers, road crews, firefighters & others to hold banner at Statehouse today
INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana General Assembly now has seven days left to pass Indianapolis Works, the government reform package that saves taxpayers $35 million a year.
Last week, Mayor Bart Peterson held a rally on the Statehouse steps to urge state legislators to use the final days of the legislative session to help Indianapolis and Marion County save taxpayers $35 million a year, or about $100,000 every day.
Since then, volunteers have been holding a banner at the Statehouse urging the legislators to act and reminding the public about the consequences of inaction.
Today, various city workers, including snow plow drivers, road crew workers and firefighters, will be holding the banner and passing out material at the Statehouse from 12-1 p.m.
Without Indianapolis Works, the city and county would be forced to lay off police officers, Sheriff's deputies and firefighters, close parks, cut neighborhood services and cut back on other important services.
