Indianapolis' Public Good Index
August 24, 2017
No longer the Naptown of yesteryear, Indianapolis is gaining lots of positive attention, from innovation, to sports, to food.

Today on No Limits, Troy Riggs, former IMPD Chief and now vice president at the Sagamore Institute, joins us to discuss the new Public Good Index, which takes a deep dive into these questions and more. Looking at poverty, education, jobs, taxes, and a host of other factors, the Index shows where Indiana is winning - and where it's not.
