It would be a close call.<br /><br />I think maybe they got tired of us calling it the No-So project.

The city floats bonds at its lower rate for companies every year, without promising tax revenues for the repayment stream. Repayment of the bonds is the obligation of the company. AND the city doesn't give out 10 year 100% abatements to help the company make the bond payments.<br /><br />Sure Lilly wants the project, it needs every dime it can get its hands on to stave off being gobbled up by a bigger company. Let's face it, Lilly has some significant problems. But, that doesn't justify this horrendous deal for the taxpayers.Had Enough Indy?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673791504434523246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-74341052611712292032011-08-06T08:38:31.481-04:002011-08-06T08:38:31.481-04:00Lilly would have done this itself, but it wanted I...Lilly would have done this itself, but it wanted Indy's bond rating to lower the interest rate. Once again the city ends up with higher AV, and Lilly won't let it fail, so it's a decent project. More cops on the street is always nice, but until Indy can afford more jail beds, that's just more fishermen all doing catch & release when the catch rate it still pretty good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-42359775436361179472011-08-05T20:29:38.068-04:002011-08-05T20:29:38.068-04:00DI - its not that we provide too little money to p...DI - its not that we provide too little money to public safety, IMHO. Its how they decided to spend it. A couple of budgets ago, they decided that the utility of the choppers wasn't that great and wanted to spend the money on other things.<br /><br />That's interesting Gary.
