[AI-Generated Summary] Unpaid Taxes and Under the Radar Security. Eyewitness News investigative series broadcast from Indianapolis, Indiana, investigators Roger Harvey and Neil Bower (civil deputy) highlight significant fiscal and security vulnerabilities within Marion County. The report first details how delinquent property owners, such as Marshall Welton, owe millions in taxes—specifically $23 million across the county—depriving schools and public safety of vital funding. The broadcast features insights from Prince Davidson (neighbor), Mary Harvey (neighbor), Greg Jordan (Treasurer), Bart Peterson (Mayor), and Larry McKee (Deputy Revenue Commissioner) regarding the impact of these unpaid debts and the "overwhelming" number of tax warrants. Transitioning to aviation safety, the segment "Under the Radar" exposes security lapses at Indianapolis International Airport and regional facilities like Eagle Creek, Mount Comfort, and Metropolitan. With contributions from security consultant Marcus Shrinker, pilots Bill Houck and Chuck Voigt, professor Dale Ottoman, and airport official David Roberts, the investigation demonstrates how unauthorized individuals can easily access runways and hangars, prompting concerns from former supervisor Troy McLendon and physician Douglas Rex about the inconsistency of federal safety protocols.
