So the Mayor was listening to his opponents back in 2009. When Mayor Meer ran against Robert McKee, Mr. McKee's political statement for why he wanted to be Mayor was to start this program. In any event, the MC Council and Mayor need to review Hammond's program very carefully. What the N-D says today in the paper is not true, it is not only for Hammond High students, it is for ALL students of families that live within the Hammond City Limits, whether they go to an in-city public or private school or out of city public or private school or even if they are home schooled. They have a very inclusive program because their reason for the program is to get people living in Hammond and paying property taxes. In fact, one thing that must be shown is that the Homeowner has a homestead exemption filed. I am not sure how they handle people that rent, but I think they are also included in the program. Also, how will they handle kids that go to MCHS and don't live within the City limits? The purpose of the program is to get people living within MC to increase the tax roles and the property values. It works great for Hammond and I am very happy to see them looking into this, I just hope they do not exclude families (like voucher kids, home schooled kids and kids that go to schools outside of the city limits, public and private).

Was there ever any clarification on which Indiana Colleges and Universities this scholarship will be good for? Any Indiana University or only state schools? I never did see or hear that? Is it good for IU Northwest but not Bloomington? Good for Purdue Calumet and Ivy Tech however not good for Notre Dame or Wabash?
