Indianapolis mayoral candidate Philip Foust believes a special prosecutor should investigate Democratic Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. According to reporting from IndyStar and Mirror Indy, Hogsett’s campaign routed donor wish lists to the City-County Building and helped insiders chase taxpayer contracts.
Investigation Needed
Foust said the public deserves to know that allegations against the mayor have been looked at properly. He wants current prosecutor Ryan Mears to step aside due to the appearance of impropriety, citing Mears’ potential mayoral ambitions.
The Delaware County Commission recently declared a vote of no confidence in Mears, joining other Indiana counties, cities, towns, mayors, and police leaders who have already done the same. Foust also reiterated that Marion County does not have an overincarceration problem, but a repeat offender problem.
