Indy Republican appreciates your support on the Carmel Carousel Petition


This past week we have published several blog posts. Covering the efforts by Tim Hannon and several other patriots in Carmel to try and stop RINO Mayor Jim Brainard and the Carmel City Council, from further raiding taxpayers money. We have received an extremely positive response to our posts and also have received many thousands of visitors to our site. A special thanks is due to Eric Morris of Veterans for Peace, Indianapolis for making all of us aware of this situation before the Indianapolis Star reported on it. We are not knocking the Star in this instance. The piece written by Andrew Clark was well written. We are just thrilled that we were able to bring Mr. Hannon's petition to your attention before anyone else did. You can read our posts on the Carmel petition fight here and here.

We would like to end this blog post by directing your attention to the following blogs that we feel are deserving of your support. We do not agree with everything on these blogs. And in some cases we disagree with them much of the time. But all of these blogs provide a valuable service and are worthy of your support and please spread the word about this blog and the following blogs.

Petition to stop Carmel taxpayer funding of a carousel and luxury hotel



A reader has shared a petition by Tim Hannon of Carmel to keep the government of Carmel from wasting taxpayers money. Here is the text of the petition:

Carmel City Council is voting whether to add to our municipal debt by purchasing an antique carousel and building and operating a luxury hotel in the city center.

Although a carousel might be nice, it will cost over $5 million to buy and refurbish, purchase land, build an enclosing structure and operate.  The city council should seek out a donor or donors (individual and corporate) to finance it.

The mayor has also requested funding to build and operate a “4.5 to 5 star” hotel, arguing that a luxury hotel is needed to attract corporations but providing no details on which corporations refuse to move here or threaten to leave without it. He further contends the city needs to provide $15 million for the hotel because the private sector can’t justify the economics, and dismisses the alternative of an upper mid-market business hotel (Marriott, Renaissance) as not “prestigious" enough.  A luxury hotel would not serve business interests as most businesses and all government contracts have caps on allowable hotel rates, nor would it provide an affordable option for leisure travelers wanting to stay downtown. The city council should also decline this proposal.
