Deputy Mayor assigned to other projects
Statement from Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear:
Deputy Mayor Steve Cooke and I have decided to turn his attention to other city projects and let the discussion about the Nickel Plate Trail continue under the leadership of other city officials. I believe Steve did not mean to come across in the light that he is being portrayed and will use this experience as a learning opportunity going forward.
The topic of the railway has passionate members of our community on each side. However, some of the social media comments I have seen directed at him have been unfair, defamatory and harassing. We are a team and Steve works diligently on my vision for the City of Noblesville and what we think is best for its future.
As I have previously stated, we want to keep the train rolling in Noblesville from Forest Park north to Tipton. I am hopeful this move allows the railway conversation to progress forward without being personal.
Mr. Mayor,no disrespec, but many like myself want the train (rail) to go to Indianapolis not just north. This way ALL towns can profit from it. Too many missed opportunities going north ONLY.
We need emails from Fishers Mayor also, I have a strong feeling there is alot more of this kind of disregard to the citizens opinions from Mayor Fadness’s also??
Can you get copies of his emails in regards to the Nickel Plate??
