All five Republicans and the City-County Council's lone independent joined Democrats in approving the record-setting budget proposed by Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett.
It was a unanimous vote on how city leaders plan to spend your taxpayer money next year in Indianapolis. All it took was a voice vote with all 25 members of the Indianapolis City-County Council voting in favor of the city's 2024 spending plan.
Hogsett is pitching a continuation of his downtown resiliency strategy and pointing to a planned expansion of the Indiana Convention Center. On crime, the incumbent mayor touts record funding for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and funding for new, non-police violence-reduction and crisis strategies.
