Shaffer takes snarky exception to the newly renamed Carter’s Green

Dear Editor:

I read with interest Carmel city officials dedicating a patch of city grass to outgoing council member Ron Carter.

After 24 years’ worth of spending other peoples’ money and backing the mayor virtually round the clock, a few square yards of grass is some reward.

Of course, that grass and surrounding buildings don’t belong to the city. The banks and bond holders hold title. I wonder if they’re being asked to approve.

And, in the future, will politicians reward outgoing prodigals with their own roundabouts?

Bill Shaffer
