Councilor Michael-Paul Hart’s bold plan to fund $50 million in Indianapolis road projects without raising taxes is sparking heated debate. His strategy? Redirecting at least 10% of the city’s annual revenue growth toward infrastructure, using existing funds and future budgeting. With the wheel tax’s uncertain fate and Democratic leaders lacking votes to override the mayor’s veto, Hart’s proposal forces the council to confront tough choices—cutting services or staff to free up the needed cash. He’s confident his approach isn’t just viable—it’s already being quietly explored by city finance teams, offering a realistic path forward without new laws or taxes.
