And with this budget, and this council, and this city, in this moment -- I’m confident history will look back with admiration for the difficult choices made and fearless togetherness of a people who made the change that this time required. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

That’s because ours has never been a city to wait for the right moment to come. We’ve always understood we must make these moments ourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

But as individuals, we are not strong enough to stand alone in this storm. We need one another – one city, without exception – if we are to prosper. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Every day, we see that unique Indianapolis spirit on display in ways big and small: -Neighbors checking on neighbors -Small business retooling to make masks or sanitizer -Philanthropic and corporate leaders stepping forward -And above all, residents masking up for one another — PolitiTweet.org

Every day, food and service providers serve thousands of meals to those in need across our city, while volunteers lend a hand to ensure no family is left hungry during this time of crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Every day, our Public Works and Parks employees kept local government working and critical facilities open. Every day, in clinics and hospitals across our city, doctors and nurses and support staff deliver life-saving healthcare despite the risk to their own health. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Every day, people are choosing that path across our city. Every day, our first responders have left their families behind to serve the public at a time when everyone else is being told to stay home. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

In this moment, Indianapolis stands at a crossroads. The challenges are new, but the choice is not. Either choose the path of bold unity and mutual understanding, or we must turn away from that which has allowed our city to overcome every obstacle in its path for two centuries. — PolitiTweet.org

This administration’s commitment to art remains. In recent months, we have witnessed how art is one of the primary languages communities use to be heard. It is a way we tell our story. And so, this budget continues to fully fund $1.1m for grants to community arts organizations. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

The 2021 budget will also allow us to continue our work to ensure more Marion County residents have the post-secondary degree or credential, needed to attain good-paying jobs through continued funding of our @IndyAchieves program. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

But an investment in equitable education also means diversifying faculty and administration in our schools. Through new charters and schools opening in 2020 and 2021, OEI is supporting more school leaders of color than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

This year, when so many students were social distancing at home, @IndyOEI came together with business and philanthropic partners to launch the E-Learning Fund. This nearly $3.5m fund has helped schools across Marion County to close the technology gap for remote learning. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

In 2021, DMD will expand on the LIFT Indy program, a multi-year commitment to financially supporting the goals of an Indianapolis neighborhood by expanding to two neighborhoods, with a specific focus on areas hardest hit by the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

Already, @IndyDMD has helped the city administer $5.6m in CARES Act funding. This has kept lights on, water running, and internet connected for families, students, and employees. — PolitiTweet.org

This budget includes more than $158m for roads, bridges, sidewalks and trails and over $44m in stormwater projects, and more than $5m for @IndyParksandRec Parks so that we can continue addressing long-overdue capital needs in our parks facilities. — PolitiTweet.org

The 2021 budget includes $250k in continued funding for the Tenant Legal Assistance Project and the Eviction Avoidance Project with Indiana Legal Services and increases funding for the Community Violence Reduction team to better address challenges presented by the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

And this past February, before the crisis even began, we passed the tenants' rights bill, ensuring that more residents know their rights and responsibilities as renters. — PolitiTweet.org

Partnerships with @GleanersFBIndy, @MFBIndy, @SecondHelpings, and @IndyHunger have provided thousands of families food security during a very insecure time. — PolitiTweet.org

So far this year, @IndyOPHS has dedicated more than $2m through FEMA and the CARES Act to the task of providing emergency housing, meals, and services for our homeless neighbors during this emergency. — PolitiTweet.org

This tragedy brought to the forefront the danger faced by our first responders every day. And it underscores our commitment to a holistic approach to public safety that includes meaningful investments in housing, education, and economic opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this year one of our officers -- Breann Leath -- lost her life in the line of duty in response to a domestic abuse call. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

For the @IFD_NEWS, that means standing by our pledge to maintain a 10-year limit on the age of all frontline equipment. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

We will also continue investing in the apparatus necessary for our public safety agencies to do their job. For the police department, that means continued investment in technology, including body-worn and dash cameras. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

In 2021, this spirit of reform will continue, as we work to bolster officer training with a new facility that will allow officers to conduct use-of-force and de-escalation training in environments that better mimic what our police experience day-to-day. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Joe Hogsett @IndyMayorJoe

In conjunction with the NYU School of Law and the City-County Council, we are hosting public meetings, analyzing data, and tracking outcomes -- all in an effort to reimagine public safety in Indianapolis. — PolitiTweet.org
