What are the odds that Republicans are trying to avoid addressing issues where there is a juxtaposition of Hoosiers’ wants & the the wants of the Republican establishment? Avoiding issues like abortion & marijuana all-together might make 2024 elections easier for Republicans.
Based on this year’s municipal elections, public polls, and the actions of Indiana’s neighboring states & peer states, Indiana probably went too far with its abortion restrictions. Especially considering how referendums in other states with similar demographics have gone. It’s a bad look for the legislature, but depending on how pending lawsuits are resolved by the Indiana Supreme Court, they might get bailed out. If abortion restrictions were loosened by judicial action, statehouse Republicans would lose some heat while simultaneously being able to tell their evangelical constituents that they tried.
Marijuana legalization is in a similar boat. Indiana is way behind the curve, and probably behind popular opinion.
Anyway, I’d consider the ’24 session a success if Aaron Freeman’s bills fail to pass their assigned committees.
It’s a compelling case for yearly elections.
“…what we attack.” Interesting choice of wording.
Legalize that weed or Gtfoh!! No more Holding Hostage of the People!! While doing the same or worse!!! Behind closed doors.
How about cutting property taxes which have now risen to outrageous levels due to the large increase in property values. Property taxes continually rising while the State continues to collect a massive surplus is a bitter pill to swallow.
Not a single dime of property tax goes to the state, and they don’t rise automatically with assessments. Local governments can reduce the tax rate and still collect the same amount if they have the will to do so.
They leave the blue line that a majority of residents living near it voted in favor of ALONE
Should leave*
Aaron Freeman is all for local control as long as he’s the one doing the controlling.
It’s fine to decline the funding for bus-only lanes if you’re going to pony up the state money to rebuild Washington Street without them. When it comes to that, delivering more than a drop in the funding bucket that his Marion County constituents need, he’s a failure.
He’d rather we have two lanes on Washington Street of bombed out potholes with crumbling sidewalks than the alternative that IndyGo offers. Local residents, as noted, disagree with him.
If he ran for mayor, which he’s too cowardly to do given he acts like he knows more than anyone else in the city with his bills, he’d make Jim Merritt look like a good candidate.
IndyGo to face Statehouse challenge on blue line

While I am all for giving third graders every chance to learn to read using new methods, the legislature has got to be firm on the notion that third graders will be held back so they can become proficient at reading. I know Democrats like to blame Republicans for the lack of literacy in our state. They talk about ‘teaching to tests”. Here is a simple test. Give the kid a randomly selected book at third grade level, and if they cannot read it, they fail. It is way past time for the two parties to stop blaming each other and get back to basics on literacy. Too much money is coming in from the “Don’t pick on our child” lobby on the one side and from the “We teachers need more money” lobby on the other. Drop the facades. Address the problem.
Project labor agreements are voluntary negotiated agreements between consenting parties no one is being forced to use them on any project . Banning them would be a payoff to corrupt lobbyists for sub-standard contractors.
Tamer huh? Almost laughable when they were elected to take issues on to provide solutions. Election year fears is more like it! Typical!
Why not use the so called tame session to fully discuss issues like marijuana legalization instead of avoiding it. We all know our Scotty dog governor will not sign any pot bills, but at least get it discussed seriously and even take it to the floor for more discussion. The same old excuses are really getting old without any discussion at all.
