7 thoughts on “‘Better in Indiana’: Bill to absorb Illinois communities advances to Senate floor

  1. “‘great’ road funding system“

    Baldwin should be immediately removed from office for that remark alone.

    Indiana has the worst roads in the Midwest.

    1. On reflection, you’re on to something Corey.

      These parts of Illinois would love a system in which they’re welfare recipients of road dollars. Because they would contribute very little, and even more would be taken from places like Indianapolis.

  2. Follows the Lt. Governor who is telling everyone else to cut spending while he increases his. He cut a $150 subscription to off-set the cost of a new $88,000 vehicle. Yep, I like that math 🙂

  3. I almost laughed out loud at this “The Indiana General Assembly prides itself on being a body that serves its constituents.” What a joke!

  4. Maybe they can pass a law that requires them to read Professor Hicks before they start any new piece of legislation. The Indiana legislature, as currently composed, represents some group of taxpayers and citizens, but most certainly not those of Marion County or the surrounding counties, nor the cities of Fort Wayne, Terre Haute, Richmond, Jeffersonville, Evansville, etc. The roads in Central Indiana are in horrible shape, and there is much infrastructure to build and rebuild. Like, perhaps we could have sidewalks along Shadeland from 71st to 82nd? And I’m sure there are a lot of roads needing replacement.
    Yeah, let’s bring on 30 some counties in Illinois that don’t pay their own way.
