Politics aside what do you think out of these poll choices Mayor Greg Ballard should put as a top issue and focus more on?

yes they are all major issues.
But lets put it this way which one should be dealt with first if you are having a hard time voting.

His biggest challenge will be a democratic city-county council to be honest.

Depends. in the past Democrats in Indiana have been more civilized than the ones in Washington.
So lets see if they hold true to that and not produce a Washington like Gridlock in Indy.

yep thats why i actually want to just see bus service expanded twofold atm.
I would like to see the Indianapolis metro area grow past 2M people before throwing up the light rail etc.
Super Bowl 46 is a perfect chance to turn us into the fastest growing city in the US and i have no doubt our growth will go up big time after that event
God Bless Indy.

What is it about your infatuation with this city that blinds you from seeing what it truly is.
We are a mid-sized city, with mid-sized amenities, nothing less nothing more.
You complain about chicago, yet Indianapolis will never come anywhere near the size nor have half the influence it has as a world market.

Not to say Indianapolis isn't well on it's way to becoming a world class city, but at least be intelligent enough to realize we are still going through the process. Jeez.
