Mayors announce purchasing alliance

WISH TV
Several Central Indiana cities and towns are pooling their pocketbooks to save taxpayer money.

In a meeting Thursday morning, the group which consists of Mayors of Westfield, Noblesville, Beech Grove, and Indianapolis announced the new "Central Indiana Purchasing Alliance".

The goal is simple; Buy more, pay less for things like salt, road construction materials or fuel for vehicle fleets.

"We all have basic needs; salt, toilet paper, paper goods, etc.," said Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear.

"Our state legislature, the governor, and certainly the citizens are demanding of us to become much more efficient," said Westfield Mayor Andy Cook.
