Joe Hogsett

Indianapolis' new schools oversight board named six finalists for executive director, including a sitting IPEC board member, as Mayor Joe Hogsett prepares to interview the applicants.

Mayor Joe Hogsett vetoed a proposal, recently passed by the Indianapolis City-County Council, that was designed to improve roads by using funds raised by higher vehicle registration fees.

The new proposal, which spans from 2027 to 2031, would raise $855 million in revenue with its linear growth plan.

The added money comes from supplemental income tax revenue distributed in the spring. Councilors worked with the mayor’s office to identify where funds should go.

Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said he is still considering a run for a fourth term 2027, but won't decide until later this year — even as three candidates have already entered the race.

Most of the Indianapolis Public Education Corporation board’s members have connections to the charter school or education reform sector.

Andrea Hunley will run for Indianapolis mayor. The candidate confirmed her intention to run Monday in a phone interview with the Indianapolis Star.

The group has been meeting in church sanctuaries, libraries, basements and on front porches to learn what their neighbors care about.

City leaders say their plan to keep Indianapolis safe for young people focuses on curfew enforcement and providing community resources.

They are urging Mayor Joe Hogsett to stop a proposed 14-acre data center ahead of a critical rezoning hearing Feb. 12.
