What happened in August at City-County Council? Here's your monthly roundup of the major civic decisions + discussions that may directly affect your life.- 2027 budget proposal | Mayor Hogsett unveiled a $1.89 billion budget package. It will be finalized in October, at which point we'll give you a full breakdown.
- Data center moratorium | The pause on approval for new data centers is in effect through the end of 2027. Three centers that have already been approved are unaffected: Metrobloks in Martindale Brightwood, Sabey Data Centers in Decatur Township, and DC Blox in Irvington.
- Vehicle taxes | Councilors overrode Hogsett's veto on Proposal 192, which means passenger vehicle taxes will increase to $100 next year.

The combo set comes with two types of triangles: grippy (for loose-fitting deep vees) and sticky (for snug-fit plunging necklines and even swimwear). |

The Wrap
Hey, Indy. I'm just popping in to help out while Shea takes a well-deserved break, but as a former resident of the Circle City, I'm so happy to be here.
It's the time of year that I wish I could partake in some of my favorite Indiana fall traditions, like ordering a Puppy Slumber Party at Metazoa Brewing or camping in Brown County. I also loved to take a trip to Oliver Winery for a unique tasting — my favorite was the Halloween candy wine pairing, which comes back in October. |
