Baird doesn’t seem too bright and lacks the ability to extrapolate basic findings from data instead of his personal experience running his own puppy mill
In a state with real ethics laws, folks like Baird would recuse themselves from any legislation that affects their business. But we are in Indiana, we claim this is a the benefit of a “citizen” legislature, that “experts” can contribute what they know. Explain some of what’s happened to public schools; total vested interest for a board member at a private school (Behning) to rewrite the voucher rules to benefit schools like his.
(I mean, we prohibit teachers or school employees from being on the school board. But people who work for private schools can go to the state level and write laws that enrich schools like theirs? Explain how that makes sense.)
Amen Joe B. Baird ought to be embarrassed by his remarks.
This bill is advanced for one reason–Amish puppy-mill-operators and certain pet stores contributed to the campaign coffers.
It’s shameful.
Lawmaker, who runs puppy mill, seeks to legalize puppy mills?
ASPCA and the Humane Society aren’t wrong, this legislation reeks.
And I’m absolutely exhausted by the anti-democracy Indiana GOP overruling every popular local ordinance or regulation they can.
I love that they used Bills Pet Store as their beacon of morality in the business… the place that has a history of animal abuse and shoddy business practices and if I am not mistaken due to negligence a store burned down and all the animals inside perished?
Woof
Gotta keep that sweet, sweet money flowing.
The Indiana GOP is corrupt trash.
Even as a staunch Republican in the broader sense, our particular group of state Republican lawmakers never ceases to embarrass and disgust me in many ways. The nepotism and lack of caring about animal welfare infuriates me.
From the Statehouse:
Legislative Stool replacing Home Rule.
Yet again, Republicans prove how disgusting they are.
It’s really about a more concerning corruption…the effort of the Republican supermajority from the rural areas to make certain that urban areas with Democratic-voting citizens are not able to have laws that reflect their local choices. It’s keeping the large cities under the thumb of the Republican party, even if they can’t win the votes in those areas.
But if a Republican mayor and City County Council can ever again be elected in Indy, I’m sure Home Rule will return.
In addition to banning the retail sale of dogs we need legislation banning puppy mills, dog fighting and backyard hobby breeders like Beau Baird. The wolves are guarding the sheep here.
I have to agree that this is another example of state-level politicians stepping out of bounds to get themselves ensnared in issues that should be left to local governments.
But let’s be honest: Dems do the exact same thing. For those who doubt, look no further than our neighbor to the west, where Chicagoland creates the policies that run roughshod over the rest of the state–taxation levels than even Chicago businesses can barely support but are completely untenable in downstate Illinois. 90% of Illinois’s land area is “under the thumb” of Chicago, and the impact in terms of job loss is manifest. Would the hyperpartisans like Tim S and Joe B ever acknowledge this?
Puppy mills have historically been a huge issue in Indiana, in no small part due to cultural attitudes toward animals widely held among Anabaptists. It’s kind of a weird constituency to placate, since Anabaptists do not usually vote (per their religion), but then there are the folks in the mass-market designer dog business, and regulations in places like Indy are a huge hindrance to their bottom line.
We live in Indiana. Put another way, your comments have as much relevance as if you yelled them into the speaker at the Arby’s drive through.
Total deflection. This is Indiana. “They do it too” is a childish defense.
Will Republican legislators ever tire of trying to control the cities in Indiana where they can’t win city council seats? Let’s see, they’re trying to stop the Blue Line; trying to prohibit “no turn on red” ordinances; trying to allow puppy sales from shady breeders in pet stores; and trying their best to ruin Indianapolis public schools, to name just a few of their attempts. Corrupt politicians who can’t get elected to their respective city councils think that the Legislature should be the super city council for the state of Indiana. It’s disgusting and disgraceful.
“trying their best to ruin Indianapolis public schools”
Mission accomplished long ago?
Again, State Government needs to stay out local Government!!
