Council, Mayor Still At Odds Over IMPD Funding

Last updated on Tuesday, September 15, 2015

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Indianapolis City-County members and the mayor remain at odds about funding for the police department.

Councilors attempted and failed to override a veto Monday night by Mayor Greg Ballard of an earlier spending plan.

The council voted last year to implement a public safety tax increase to fund new IMPD officers and train and equip them. However, the administration transferred $6.8 million out of the IMPD budget earlier this spring.
