A procession of city government department heads, representatives of local nonprofits and a Washington, D.C., consultant gave Fort Wayne City Council an overview of the city's prospects to land stimulus dollars.
David Gogol of B&D Consulting explained that millions already have been apportioned to Indiana and to Fort Wayne. Timely grant applications and effective lobbying, particularly at the state level, might bring more, he said.
Among the sure bets for stimulus money coming to the city, according to those who spoke Tuesday, are:
♦At least $26.5 million for Fort Wayne area schools.
♦$9.34 million for highways.
♦$2.47 million for energy efficiency and conservation.
Senate budget would hike school funding, for now
The Indiana Senate has approved a budget that would rely on federal economic stimulus money to boost school spending, but a top senator says the funding increase might be short lived. A new state revenue forecast expected Friday will give lawmakers a better idea of how much the state can spend over the next two years. Senate Appropriations Chairman Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, said the proposed increases for education could be out the door if the forecast is bad enough. “Right now I’m pessimistic about the outlook,” Kenley said. “I don’t see evidence of a turnaround.”
Legislators get last chance at bills
Indiana lawmakers advanced a tentative state budget Tuesday, but they know a state revenue forecast due out Friday could send them back to the negotiating table. The Republican-led Senate passed a two-year, $28.1 billion budget that slightly boosts education spending but is propped up by federal stimulus dollars on a 32-18 vote. All the Democrats opposed it.

The budget next heads to a conference committee where Senate Republicans and Democrats who control the House will try to reach a compromise before the legislative session ends April 29.

Frustration about the lack of American passenger trains?
Jun 22, 2007 by astropj1 | Posted in Rail
I live in southern Indiana and would like to take a train to Indianapolis some days, but alas, there exsists no passenger train route (even though a freight route does exsist). Europe has a much more established train system that seems to allow anyone to get almost anywhere.
Is anyone else frustrated with the poor infrastructure of passenger train route in America? What can I, as a citizen, do about this?
A lot of it has to do with population density, more people = more potential riders. European countries all have their trains more subsidized by the gov't, the benefits are hard to measure in terms of profit and loss so we dont do it much here. Politicians would have to be convinced that the benefits to the country would be worth the expense. Personally I think it would be but our elected politicians never look beyond their term of office and better passenger service is a long term commitment.

Should foreign countries own our toll roads?
Oct 09, 2007 by Me, Too | Posted in Government
Toll roads in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana are owned by foreign companies. A deal is being completed right now with an Australian company to manage a series of toll roads in Virginia.
While these toll roads are managed by foreign companies, the American tax payer will still foot the bill for building them. The foreign companies will collect any profits from the tolls.
In a country where American jobs are getting scarcer, it seems that these deals will make the situation even worse. In Virginia, Australia will manage 70 miles of "high occupancy" toll roads along the Capitol Beltway.
Many Americans do not realize that much of our infrastructure is being turned over to foreign management, including our ports, airlines, and roads. Should there be more publicity connected to these deals? Should foreign countries be allowed to buy into our public infrastructure or should laws be passed to prevent these arrangements that take the profits from our own people?
This is just another avenue. The public should absolutely know about them and possible consequences and any benefits. It would seem any benefit would be short-term in nature. It is maddening. We have utility companies owned by foreign companies. (National Grid - England) We have the Chinese buying up our bonds. We are indebted to the Chinese. Why more people aren't bothered by this is beyond my comprehension. It is frustrating.
