Dear Editor:
Carmel reached a milestone this week and there was no joy in Mudville, to coin a phrase.
Carmel taxpayers achieved (if that’s the word) $1.5 billion in total debt, according to the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance.
As $733,000 was added to the lease rental column, City indebtedness reached $1,367.2 million, followed by $35.1 million Clay Township debt, $143.5 million in Carmel Clay schools debt and $2.4 million from the Carmel Clay Public Library, for a grand (if that’s the word) total of $1.549 billion.
Congratulations, my fellow non-mayors of Carmel, ever onward (if that’s the word).

I once told Brainard to his face “you are spending too much money”. Unfortunately most people just don’t care.
