Thanks for the counterpoint, Nate! I sense some “axe to grind” when I read the many of Dr. Hicks musings regarding the state’s economic development strategy. You can make arguments that some elements were not completely vetted, like the water concerns but standing pat and maintaining the status quo is not a viable option.
Daniels did many good things. Defunding K-college education during the 2007-2008 budget crisis and never restoring the funding was a mistake. Both things can be true.
It led institutions of higher learning that Indiana taxpayers support with many millions of dollars, *including the one that Daniels went on to lead*, to decrease the percentage of Indiana students that they admitted in favor of more profitable out-of-state and international students. You can see the impact in K-12 educational outcomes, and the response from the state level appears to be to give up in improving outcomes and instead lowering the bar for high school graduates as witnessed by the initial drafts of new high school diplomas that seem intent on producing a workforce for a bunch of jobs that are never ever coming back to Indiana, much less America.
You can get federal designations all day long. If Indiana can’t land those “innovation economy” companies because we don’t have the workers, because we don’t have the will or the vision to spend the money and think a few decades out, it won’t matter.
Hicks is paid to write for the Indianapolis Star, once a decent American newspaper that is now far left fish wrap. Fortunately there aren’t many people left buying it or reading it.
Yeah..I used to respect Hicks but not anymore….just a shill for the left! Any moron can see Indiana is far better off than Illinois and at least competitive with Ohio, Kentucky and Michigan.
