  1. This makes a pretty good case for turning many current elected offices into gubernatorial nominees subject to State Senate confirmation, just as was done with the secretary of education. There is too much temptation to steer contracts to financial supporters of elected officeholders.

    .

    We don’t elect the national counterparts of these jobs…the president gets to pick his/her own team.

    1. We already have rampant corruption.

      Look at the changes to education policy that benefit the donors behind for-profit charter schools.

      Look at how many legal barriers are enacted to keep small liquor stores afloat. Indiana legislature was OK with Wal-Mart destroying tons of small Indiana downtowns, but liquor stores? Their campaign contributions we have to protect.

      The state of Indiana could really move ahead if they could ban campaign contributions somehow and switch to publicly funded elections. I doubt that would be possible after Citizens United, though, because corporations have been given the right to buy their legislators and their laws.

  2. Consider the source please.
    Mr Holden is notorious for questionable conduct.
    His claims are doubtful at best; hopefully the IBJ will provide context to enable full context on the accusor.
