Ask The Mayor: Lafayette's Tony Roswarski On Police Tax, New Five Points Timeline

As a former police officer himself, it would seem to make sense that Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski supports a new income tax to fund public safety. His city saw a crime spike just a few years ago, but it’s been easing off the last couple years. So with crime on the decline under the current budget, why is now the right time to raise taxes to fight it?

We put that question to him today on WBAA’s Ask The Mayor.

Also on this week’s show, why has Mayor Roswarski decided not to go on an annual trip to Washington, D.C. to talk with Indiana Congresspeople?
