A perception problem when our tourism motto was “Honest to Goodness Indiana” and our best tourism billboards showed random bridges and C-tier state parks like Spring Mill State Park.
Indiana reflects the third finger of the South squarely pointing into the Midwest.
The perception is that of a non-progressive, regressive and unwelcoming bastion of hyper-convervatism and unhinged hypocrites.
While this is not [entirely] true, perception matters and perception impacts.
Indiana must work hard to catch up in the tourist industry and to counter perceptions of gritty dirty industry, cornfields, under-educated and uncouth populace, meth-addicted and decimated small towns, and bad roadways.
Again, these perceptions are not reality.
But presently, and certainly in consideration of outrageous laws enacted by the State GOP Legislature, Indiana is unappealing both as a move-to destination and a tourist destination (one asks what on earth there is to see). And, most wish to enjoy vibrant cities and towns — yet Statehouse actions seek to thrash rights of citizens in [certain] cities by seeking to usurp local governance and will of the people. So, local control is fine as long as reflects the supermajority mindset.
Many who graduate from the fine institutions of higher learning in Indiana seek to leave asap. And this is not a new trend.
Do you suggest the people (you know, YOUR neighbors and fellow Hoosiers you look down your nose at) should stop electing republicans (voting their values) so that Indiana can attract more tourism dollars, other possible revenue? Trade your beliefs for money? Got it. I suppose by the same token you’d favor California abandoning the strong social safety net approach their citizens clearly favor in order to retain all the corporate investment moving to Texas? Some (I suggest most) vote their values. I know it can be frustrating to live in a state where the majority has values different from your own. I’ve lived in six states personally and been in majority and minority when it comes to politics. I sense your frustration but insulting your fellow Hoosier because they won’t abandon their beliefs is not a morally superior position. You get what you vote for in a democracy and the Indiana legislature was elected by your fellow citizens.
