Preferential treatment for state legislators? I think George Orwell said it well: some pigs are more equal than others.
I hate to equate this to mask wearing, but like wearing a mask you are less likely to injure those around you. It’s the same “Freedom to Injure those around you” all over again.
Good quote from Eric Holt.
yeah, but who cares about those citizens and pedestrians!
These state legislatures only care about their comped IU tickets and getting in and out of work as quickly as possible
So the State is running so perfectly that the state legislators have the time to continuously meddle in local traffic rules? What next, no lemonade stands in Ft. Wayne, remove all no passing zones in Terre Haute and definitely no to everything in Gary becaue they have Democrats as their mayors. This is the problem with a “super-majority”, too much meddling when there are bigger issues which need to be addressed: lack of funds for foster child care, lack of funds for care of special needs children and adults, lack of public health funding, etc.
This….is why we need to bust up the Republican supermajorities. Petty nonsense.
What’s your plan to do that, Rick? You are a democrat living in a an overwhelmingly republican state. Just get used to it or move to California.
The state is about 53% Rep, 47% Dem, the supermajority is the result of pretty extreme gerrymandering. If this was fixed, we’d get voters interested in races because either party could win. We get compromises in the statehouse because each side would really have a voice.
Troy, Indiana isn’t “overwhelmingly” Republican. The supermajority is fabricated through partisan gerrymandering. Republicans have never once received a supermajority of votes in Indiana.
I don’t blame Troy for thinking we are an overwhelmingly republican state but it is simply not true. As has been said below gerrymandering is the reason we have repeated super majorities. Members of both parties should recognize that repeated supermajorites of either party are not healthy for our state. These majorities, without any checks, tend to get a bit drunk with power and start legislating ridiculous things and poking around in areas they should stay out of.
This is so absurd that it could serve as a plot in an episode of South Park. The IN GOP is embarrassing.
Freeman is more concerned that he may need to wait 15 seconds, than the FIVE times a car hit someone within 1/4 mile of these locations within the last month. That figures.
He’s genuinely one of the most selfish, insufferable people I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting.
He’s the smartest person in any room he ever walks into. Just ask him.
What a bunch of clowns. I’m so glad they spent so much time, money, and effort regulating local control for the purposes of being able to turn out of their parking lots 2 seconds faster during the two months out of the year they are actually here.
End partisan gerrymandering so we can get these fools out of here.
Yep!
In the last week we had kids shooting it out in front of the downtown mall, the shooter in a Castleton mall shooting get a whooping 3 year sentence, and Democrat feces Mark Stoner give a cop killer a sentence of 3 years time served.
Not a word or headline from IBJ employees. No riots, no protests, no coverage at all, other than your mayor announcing a curfew (gasp!)
Instead we get “street signs Bad!” And “black caucus”.
Your occupation and publication are a grotesque joke
Joke? Then you won’t miss reading it when you un-subscribe, huh? smh
It is the Indianapolis “Business” Journal, not the “Indianapolis Crime Journal” or the “Indianapolis MAGA Network”. If you want to see non-stop stories about crime and shootings, you can tune into any of the local television stations. You can also head over to Indy Star. All they report on is crime and sports.
Oh no! Not a caucus that has existed for decades going out into communities to ensure that people are heard! Whatever shall you do?!
+1
The foolishness of any politician needs to be exposed regardless of
their political affiliation.
We already know that our legislators are bad stewards of Indianapolis through the huge surface lots they maintain near campus. They create a black hole in the middle of Downtown. They’re not even really needed; The Legislature got by just fine this year with hundreds of parking spots blocked due to construction of the archives building.
They may change their mind after one of them gets hit crossing the street. Not sure why they think they are so special.
