    1. So he wants to torture already underpaid department heads for………what exactly? The state already doesn’t pay particularly well as is and can’t attract any true talent as current and past administrations seem to think properly funding anything is wasteful unless you’re already an incredibly wealthy corporation begging for a tax cut on the backs of Indiana’s poor and dwindling middle class, and THIS is Eric’s solution???

  1. There are 569 municipalities in Indiana. Assuming 500 of these are “small towns,” how much money would be needed for Doden’s “pago-like” plan? More specifically, are even half of our small towns even savable?
