As you saw earlier, Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson has a new ad that we transcribed earlier. In the spot, Peterson solicits input from the public on the tax crisis:

“I welcome your questions and your suggestions. To learn more, please log on to our website or call, because we need everyone working together to fix this property tax mess once and for all. Thank you for your help.”

So, how important is your input to Peterson? The number the ad gives to call is an automated messaging service! You don’t even get a live person!

Things must be so bad, Bart has to protect his staff from the public…
