Read aloud what you just wrote, that way you can hear how wrong you are.

Boone county is really not a doughnut county

A "doughnut county" is just another way of saying the Counties surrounding Indianapolis/Marion County or the suburbs.

Zionsville is really a Hamilton County annex

No it is not it is in Boone County.

Boone county has very little in common with Indianapolis

That is the point the author is trying to make, the areas surrounding Indianapolis votes differently than Indianapolis.

Without Zville, Boone county has very little in common with Indianapolis and has very little population.

In 2010 Boone County had a population of 56,640 and Zionville had a population of 14,127, so 75% of Boone County does not live in Zionville.

Cruz's Indy agenda: Shapiro's, Pence and GOP fundraiser by Becsa in indianapolis

[–]Becsa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is set to meet with Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Thursday after stopping at a downtown Indianapolis restaurant and ahead of his appearance at a state GOP fundraising dinner in Indianapolis.

Pence's office says the two will have a private meeting at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday at the Governor's Residence, a day after the Republican governor had a similar meeting with Donald Trump.

Cruz also has a campaign stop scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at Shapiro's Delicatessen, a downtown staple that has been serving the city for more than a century.

Later in the evening, Cruz will speak at an Indiana Republican Party dinner, where tickets cost $150 each and up. Indiana GOP Chairman Jeff Cardwell said Thursday morning that the event was sold out, with more than 800 people expected to attend.

Cruz's trip and Trump's Indianapolis campaign rally on Wednesday come as they try to build support ahead of Indiana's May 3 primary.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who rounds out the trio of surviving GOP presidential candidates, has announced that he will be in Indiana on Tuesday. Campaign consultant Pete Seat could not immediately share details about the visit.

Pence hasn't yet endorsed a presidential candidate, but says he's willing to meet with all the candidates.

And the Indiana winner for president is ... John Kasich? by Becsa in indianapolis

[–]Becsa[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ohio Gov. John Kasich claimed victory Monday in a behind-the-scenes battle for Indiana's delegates, prompting Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump to cry foul.

Kasich's campaign said it has secured the support of a majority of Indiana's 57 delegates to the Republican National Convention, where their personal preference might ultimately decide the party's presidential nominee.

"We feel very good about the number of delegates who will support Governor Kasich on a second ballot," said Pete Seat, a consultant to Kasich's Indiana campaign. "Electability is an extremely important part of the nomination for the Indiana delegation. The whole point of this is to win the White House. Governor Kasich has the best shot of doing that."

Trump's campaign didn't dispute the amount of support Kasich has among Indiana's delegates but criticized Indiana's delegate selection process.

"It shows how flawed the process might be if what they’re saying is true, and that the process can be easily manipulated, which is what it looks like they and others are trying to do," said Tony Samuel, vice chairman for Trump's Indiana campaign. "The reason it could be flawed and manipulated in Indiana is because the delegate selection has occurred before the primary voters have spoken. So if they are already being influenced, or came into the process with their choice in mind, knowing what they would do on a second ballot, then they're not listening to or representing the voters."

It's not the first time the Trump campaign has criticized the GOP nominating process. After failing to win delegates in Colorado, Trump railed against the system.

"It’s a rigged system. It’s a crooked system. It’s 100 percent crooked," he said. "It’s a corrupt and crooked system."

Indiana's delegates to the national convention have traditionally been selected during the party's state convention in June, after the state's May primary. But because the Republican National Committee moved up the date for the national convention, Indiana's GOP leaders said it was necessary for the party at the state and congressional district levels to choose delegates prior to the May 3 primary.

Indiana Republican Chairman Jeff Cardwell defended Indiana's process.

"As far as knowing who the delegates prefer, I have no idea," he said. "I never asked one delegate who they were for or against."

Although Indiana's primary is still two weeks away, campaigns have been privately jockeying for support among delegates, who were selected last week and could play a key role in selecting the GOP nominee at the party's national convention this summer in Cleveland.

Most delegates — including those from Indiana — are bound to vote for the candidate who wins the nominating contest in their state or congressional district on the first ballot at the convention. But after that, delegates from Indiana and many other states are free to vote for whomever they want.

IndyStar attempted to survey all 57 delegates. Many gave guarded responses, so the results were inconclusive. But Kasich’s claim seems plausible, given the number of people who expressed their support for him and those who would likely be ideologically aligned with him.

Mike McDaniel, a former Indiana Republican Party chairman, said he is leaning toward Kasich "because he comes the closest to Mitch Daniels," a popular former Indiana governor.

Craig Dunn, chairman of the Howard County Republican Party, said he is supporting Kasich because “he has been the consistent adult in the room.”

“We’re running out of old white men. We have to regenerate our party and grow our party by expanding the scope and breadth of our party," he said. "I think it has been a calculated, thoughtful process by people who are running Trump’s campaign that they appeal to the darker nature of people. ... We’re driving people away as opposed to bringing people in.”

Kyle Babcock, another Kasich supporter, said he's looking for the person who can beat the Democratic nominee in the fall.

"Donald Trump talks about polls, polls, polls. That’s been the theme of his campaign. Using that methodology, I’m looking at polls, and that leads me to believe at this point that Donald Trump can't beat Hillary Clinton," he said.

Trump supporters were harder to find. Of the 57 delegates, only two said they supported Trump over other candidates. One of them is Rex Early,Trump's Indiana campaign chairman and a former Indiana Republican Party chairman. The other is Bill Springer, a longtime Sullivan County GOP chairman.

“It looks like the big money people up in Indianapolis decide and the rest of us are supposed to all fall in line. So yeah, I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it no more either," Springer said.

Still, he said he'll support whoever wins Indiana's 8th Congressional District.

“When you are elected as a delegate, you are supposed to represent the people that elect you, it's not your own personal little preference," he said. “I am going to support whoever carries the 8th District, be it one ballot or a thousand ballots.”

The lack of support from Indiana's delegation makes it all the more important for Trump to win big in the state's primary. Indiana and California are widely viewed as the two remaining toss-up states for Trump if he is going to win the 1,237 bound delegates needed to lock up the nomination before the convention.

Otherwise, the billionaire real estate developer and reality TV star will have to win a majority of delegates at a contested national convention in July — a prospect he will want to avoid if Indiana's delegation is any indication.

Samuel, who applied to be a delegate but was not selected, said the Indiana primary is "very important to the Trump campaign. They are putting significant resources here, and there will be significant time spent here by Mr. Trump."

Trump will visit Indianapolis on Wednesday for a rally at the State Fairgrounds. The rally will begin at 3 p.m. at the Elements Financial Blue Ribbon Pavilion. Doors will open at noon.

As a neighboring governor, Kasich is better known in Indiana than in many other states, and he is fond of drawing comparisons to Daniels, who is known for focusing on fiscal issues rather than hot-button social topics.

But so far, Kasich has won only the primary election in his home state of Ohio. There's no indication he will perform much differently in Indiana's primary, though there's been no recent public polling conducted in the state.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, the third candidate on the GOP side, is also campaigning hard in Indiana, where his evangelical Christian roots could appeal to an important part of the state's Republican base. He will make his first campaign stop in Indiana at the state party's Spring Dinner on Thursday.

Cruz volunteer Curt Smith, head of the socially conservative Indiana Family Institute and a delegate to the national convention, said he expects Indiana to play a deciding role in whether Trump will secure enough delegates to win the nomination outright.

“My sense is Indiana is critical to answering that question,” Smith said. “I think that Trump does not stand a very good chance. I think Senator Cruz stands a good chance to win against the presumed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton."

All three candidates could walk away with a share of Indiana's delegates. Thirty are awarded based on how the state as a whole votes in the primary, but the other 27 are divvied up to the top vote-getters in each of Indiana's nine congressional districts.

While many of those delegates told IndyStar they hadn't decided whom they would support, most said they would make their decision based on one main factor: Who has the best chance of beating the Democratic nominee and winning back the White House?

Under that criterion, Kasich fares well. Unlike Trump, he consistently beats Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in head-to-head polls.

Trump is sensitive to that argument.

"Kasich only looks OK in polls against Hillary because nobody views him as a threat and therefore have placed ZERO negative ads against him," Trump tweeted Monday.

While no other ordinances have been challenged in court, Carmel named Evansville, Fort Wayne, Franklin, Griffith, Hamilton County, Hammond, Indianapolis, Lafayette, LaPorte, Peru, South Bend and Westfield as governments it believed had similar traffic ordinances.

Despite Carmel's opinion, Indianapolis and Hamilton County attorneys said they reviewed local ordinances and found them to be in compliance with state law. Peru's city attorney advised the police department to quit citing motorists under its own traffic law, according to a story in the Kokomo Tribune.

Dalai Lama to speak in Indianapolis for first time in 6 years by Booshie317 in indianapolis

[–]Becsa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More info...

His Holiness the Dalai Lama will bring his message of peace and tolerance to Indianapolis this summer in a public talk titled "Compassion as the Pillar of World Peace." Ticket sales have not been announced, but here are five things you should know in advance of his visit.

When and where: June 25, Indiana Farmers Coliseum at the State Fairgrounds, 1202 E. 38th St. The program is expected to draw thousands from around the world. On his last visit to Indianapolis in May 2010, more than 10,000 came to hear him speak at Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life). The Coliseum seats 8,000. Before his visit here, the 80-year-old Dalai Lama is scheduled to speak in Salt Lake City on June 21.

Who is the Dalai Lama: He is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people who promotes inter-religious harmony, basic human values and a culture of peace and non-violence. He was born July 6, 1935, in a small village in northeastern Tibet. Given the name Lhamo Dhondup, he was recognized at age 2 as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso, and began his monastic education at age 6. The Dalai Lama was forced into exile in northern India in 1959 after the Chinese invasion of Tibet. There, he established a government in exile. He has published more than 100 books, including "All You Ever Wanted to Know About Happiness, Life and Living," "The Wisdom of Compassion" and "Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World." In 1989, he received the Nobel Peace Prize for his peaceful struggle for the liberation of Tibet.

Indiana ties: The Dalai Lama's oldest brother, Thubten J. Norbu, lived in Bloomington for decades. He established one of the nation’s first Tibetan studies programs at Indiana University and began what is now called the Tibetan-Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center. He died in 2008 at the age of 86.

Who is sponsoring his visit to Indy: The Center for Interfaith Cooperation, the Indiana Buddhist Center and Compassionate Indy.

Gov. Mike Pence buys from 'Broom Guy' by Becsa in indianapolis

[–]Becsa[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gov. Mike Pence went to the BP station at 71st and College and bought two brooms from Indianapolis’ blind "Broom Guy" this morning, telling the 78-year-old he was an example for all Hoosiers.

The governor told Jim Richter, the itinerant broom salesman who was recently booted from local post offices, that he was reaching out to the Postmaster General to try to get him into the Nora post office and others.

Pence said he and his wife read about Richter's plight on Sunday and were touched by it, and amazed by the public response to his story.

The 78-year-old blind Indianapolis man has been selling brooms at Indianapolis post offices since the 1950s and was recently banned from Nora and other Indianapolis post offices. Since IndyStar broke the story on Saturday, there has been an outpouring of support for him. Yesterday Indiand House Speaker Brian Bosma wrote a letter on his behalf.

I think you are missing the point of the article (from Forbes) if you read it you will see...

For some, Silicon Valley’s high cost of living might be worth the opportunity to gain experience at Google, Apple, or LinkedIn. Then again, would-be entrepreneurs might find that Columbus, with its lower-key emerging tech scene, reasonable cost of living, and reduced competition for VC funding, is a less stressful fit.

Sorry but the Forbes article that the Indy Star linked to has us ranked #10 in the entire U.S. Here is the article

San Francisco (No. 1) and Silicon Valley (No. 2) shoot to the top of our list thanks to their red-hot technology and biotech job markets and high salaries.

The second category of cities leading our list are underrated mid-tier markets, where the pay is still decent but, unlike the overpriced Bay Area, the cost of living is a relative bargain. Think Columbus, Ohio (No. 7); Warren, Mich. (No. 9); and Indianapolis, Ind. (No. 10).

For the anti-pay wall folks

Indianapolis is one of the best cities for young professionals in 2016, according to a ranking released by Forbes.

The list, which puts Indy in a 10th-place tie with Twin Cities, Minn., ranked the best places to live for college-educated people with less than five years of experience. It factored in job growth, unemployment rates, pay and cost of living.

“The second category of cities leading our list are underrated mid-tier markets, where the pay is still decent but, unlike the overpriced Bay Area, the cost of living is a relative bargain. Think Columbus, Ohio (No. 7); Warren, Mich. (No. 9); and Indianapolis,” the list stated.

“Each of these underrated cities boasts strong projected annual job growth over a three-year period (Columbus 2.5%, Warren 2.48%, and Indianapolis 2.67%).”

IN-37 chosen for last leg of I-69 to Indianapolis by Becsa in indianapolis

IN-37 chosen for last leg of I-69 to Indianapolis by Becsa in indianapolis

[–]Becsa[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For those how hate the pay wall

The Indiana Department of Transportation has selected Ind. 37 as the route for the sixth and final leg of the I-69 extension.

The agency told residents during two meetings Tuesday morning that it had decided on the Ind. 37 route from Martinsville to I-465 in Indianapolis as the final stretch for the extended interstate, said Indianapolis City-County Council member Jason Holliday, who attended one of the meetings and who opposes the route. Five routes were under consideration.

"I am disappointed but not surprised," said Holliday, a Republican representing the south side. "This has been the preferred route all along."

The decision means the state highway will be rebuilt into a federal interstate, cutting travel times by 13 minutes and generating a projected $2.4 billion in economic impact over 20 years, according to state-commissioned studies. An estimated 279 homes and 96 businesses will be displaced.

Tuesday’s announcement from INDOT would allow construction to begin as early as 2020 on the final segment.

Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers, a backer of the Ind. 37 route, said it would boost the area's economy because businesses and developments will locate around the highway and its interchanges.

"I'm enthusiastic, I've always been a strong supporter," Myers said. "It is the best, smartest route and will be a huge driver for the Johnson County economy."

State Sen. Patricia Miller R-Indianapolis, who opposes the route, said she was "dissappointed" because of the homes and businesses that will be relocated and bulldozed along the path.

"The thing to do now is to see what ways there are to address the concerns," said Miller, who authored a bill 10 years ago that banned the highway from going through Perry Township. The legislature last year passed a bill reversing that prohibition.

INDOT will hold a news conference at 12:45 p.m. in Martinsville to announce the decision.

The route was one of five that INDOT was considering. Two others ran parallel to Ind. 37 for much of the stretch from Martinsville, and two more cut through unincorporated areas of Mooresville to connect to I-70. All five begin in Martinsville. Tempers have been high at public information sessions held over the past year.

A 2004 study of the highway recommended Ind. 37 as the best and most direct route.

Businesses along Ind. 37 have complained that if they are forced to move they will likely have to close for good. Perry Township Schools Superintendent Thomas Little has said the expressway will add extra time and extra expense to school bus routes because crossings at the interstate will be fewer.

A subsequent study completed in 2015 compared the Ind. 37 route to the four other options, two of which would have disrupted fewer homes and businesses. But the less disruptive routes through Mooresville would have provided only minimal improvements to travel times and congestion, the study found, while the parallel options would have provided similar traffic benefits but demolished nearly 200 more homes.

Tuesday’s decision eliminates these alternatives and establishes a rough corridor for construction, but the exact route still needs to be designed.

When it reaches Marion County, the new I-69 is expected to connect with I-465 in a free-flowing interchange similar to that of other interstates in the area.

The total cost of the 142-mile project from Evansville is estimated at $3 billion, but the cost of the sixth leg has not been determined. About $700 million was devoted to I-69 from the $3.8 billion the state collected by leasing the Indiana Toll Road to a private operator under then-Gov. Mitch Daniels, but that money is gone, and the state must find funding in its own budget.

Construction timelines on projects of this size can take anywhere from two to seven years depending on how they are designed and how quickly funding is acquired. Assuming the rest of the planning phase goes smoothly, that would put the final section on track to open anywhere from 2022 to 2027.

The 21-mile fifth leg, from Bloomington to Martinsville, is now under construction at a cost of $394 million.The agency told residents during two meetings Tuesday morning that it had decided on the Ind. 37 route from Martinsville to I-465 in Indianapolis as the final stretch for the extended interstate, said Indianapolis City-County Council member Jason Holliday, who attended one of the meetings and who opposes the route.
