Dem. Gov. candidate Gregg unveils infrastructure plan that wouldn’t raise taxes [View all]

GARY — John Gregg, Democratic candidate for governor, on Wednesday called for investing $3.2 billion in Indiana’s infrastructure as a long-term strategy over the next 10 years, without raising taxes.

Surrounded by supporters at the Gary/Chicago International Airport terminal, the gubernatorial candidate unveiled the Gregg/Hale Infrastructure Plan as a comprehensive, fiscally responsible, intermodal and bipartisan proposal that addresses both the short- and long-term needs of the state’s crumbling infrastructure.

The plan issued by Gregg and Christina Hale, lieutenant governor candidate, also calls for using existing Major Moves dollars now to make new investments in the Hoosier state’s roads, airports, railroads and maritime ports.

It also proposes investing in sidewalks, green spaces and other projects to improve the quality of place and livability of communities across the state.
