6. I don't know what it's going to take to cure the short-sightedness around here.

A viable mass transit system will benefit not only the doughnut counties, but by extension the whole state. No, it won't happen overnight (I'll well have one foot in the grave if and when these plans come to pass), but if it isn't done, it won't happen at all. Indy will not attract business, it will not attract young professionals, and the infrastructure will continue to deteriorate.

This state's paranoia about spending money is really going to hold it back. There are stupid funding projects, and smart funding projects. People at the statehouse, apparently, can't tell the difference.
