What's the solution to Gary Indiana?

Doug Ross from the Times Newspaper is engaging readers on their ideas for solutions to the problem that is Gary Indiana. All of us in NW Indiana need to be not only concerned about Gary but interested in a solution, albeit a very long term one. What are your thoughts? What should be done about Gary, to help Gary?

  • Should the state step in and take over the City?
  • Should Miller be allowed to de-annex?
  • Should the airport be taken away from Gary and developed directly by the RDA?
  • Should Gary Sanitary be privatized and the proceeds of that sale used to pay off debt?
  • What city services should be eliminated to bring the budget into balance with state property tax caps?
I'll cross post in a few areas today, this is a worthy question and serious answers are going to be needed.
