  1. Good lord. IN legislature worst in the country. Fix health care costs in IN (among highest in country), schools, Indy roads. Ugh. You make this state a laughingstock. Everyone knows what Hoosier is…plenty of evidence.

    1. I totally agree, a Hoosier is someone from Kentucky or Tennessee who were headed to Michigan to get a job in an auto plant and never got there.

  2. Prescott, it appears, has decided he wants to fill the role of Clown Prince of the House that Nisly and Jacob recently vacated.

    (Mike Young is just 2 years away from getting the award named after him on the Senate side.)

  3. Many very worthy bills filed in each session of the General Assembly never even get a committee hearing, yet they waste time on nonsense like this. Last year it was sugar cream pie, this year it’s the pork tenderloin and the origin of the state nickname.

  4. My parents would both born in Indiana in the 1910s. They never, ever referred to themselves as “hoosiers.” And they weren’t fans of deep-fried pork tenderloins sandwiches either.
