Pickup Driver Who Ran Down Cyclists, Killing 2, Faces Max Of 1 Year In Jail - Jalopnik Two people are dead, others have had to relearn how to walk, and this is the only penalty.

Will never understand why driver violence is not prosecuted the same as other violent crimes.

As was the case last year, the 2026 budget includes funding for 1,743 police officers, despite there being only 1,461 officers on staff.

Some community members and city officials have questioned the need to continue funding for hundreds of IMPD positions that remain unfilled.

It’s important to remember cisgender women getting hurt by this is a feature not a bug as it both makes trans women fearful of existing in public and signals to cis women how they must act to be protected by the state.

pete buttigieg is one bad internal poll away from coming out against his own same sex marriage.

Kim Davis going from "my religious beliefs demand that I don't facilitate a same-sex marriages" to "my religious beliefs demand that there are NO same-sex marriages anywhere" *should* make Democrats realize there is no "sincere" compromise with bigots on trans issues.

Take a look inside the $69 million affordable housing project opening on Indy’s southside City Heights Apartment Homes opened on the southside of Indianapolis on Aug. 12 with 200 new units available for rent.

This sucks so bad dawg. They put the affordable housing in the middle of a freeway interchange a twelve minute walk on a street with no sidewalks to the nearest bus stop, where the bus comes once an hour, sponsored by CVS Healthℒ️

Also of note, Dan Parker and Thomas Cook go *way back*.

Parker hired Cook out of college to work for INDEMS when Parker was Chairman.

Cook hired Parker to lead DPW in 2017.

See this IBJ article from 2022, when Parker was announced as Hogsett's new Chief of Staff:

Important thing to note here… Hogsett’s current Chief of Staff, Dan Parker, was leading DPW at the time these allegations occurred.

Interview: Former city employee speaks out about misconduct inside Hogsett administration WFYI's Jill Sheridan sat down with ex-city employee DeAndre Baker, to talk about his experience of harassment and discrimination inside the department of public works.

Completely missed this one

There is only a single mention of Vision Zero and the Action Plan in the 2026 Budget Book. A simple one-paragraph overview of DPW's involvement β€” nothing more.

This is not a city that is serious about Vision Zero.

you can't say (correctly) "Vote Blue no matter who" and then desert the idea when a left-winger wins, and party leaders even encouraging or winking at opposition to Mamdani at this point are fools

Mayor Hogsett never once said the words β€˜Vision Zero’ tonight, if you’re at all curious what his budget priorities are.

I don’t think this administration is specifically trying to kill as many people as possible for the sheer pleasure of killing, but I don’t think their strategy would look any different if they were.
