A new round of public meetings

“Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) gives the governor unchecked power to make a deal with a private company that would evict thousands of
Indiana residents from their homes and farms.” — Chesterton Tribune, Feb. 13, 2007

The Indiana state government is rushing to pass bills authorizing the sale and construction of new toll roads- particularly the Indiana Commerce Connector in Central Indiana and the Illiana Toll Road in NW Indiana. The next step for Senate Bill 1 is a series of Field Meetings hosted by the House Transportation Committee in counties that will be devastated by these roads. Regardless of whether we can stop the law in the legislature, these meetings will be an important place to demonstrate resistance to these roads and build ties with others opposing the projects.
