We can build an Interstate 69 highway between Indianapolis and Evansville, right now. Without wasting taxpayers' money, without destroying our farmland and without years and years of more fighting about it.
Major newspapers oppose it.
So do taxpayer, conservation, farm and consumer groups. More than 120,000 Hoosiers have signed petitions against it. There is a better way. It's less expensive, it preserves Hoosier farmland, and local people along the route support it. And its only 10 miles longer between Indianapolis and Evansville than a new highway would be.
