But even after spending over a decade in politics, I still think most people are good and want the best for their neighbor, their community, and themselves.
With the intense interest in the thrill-a-minute, through-the-looking-glass 2016 race, fueled by anger at maladjusted Washington and anxiety after the Paris attacks, I decided to let my Republican brother offer his red-state soliloquy, hoping. He-e-e-ere’s Kevin:
During a season when we often pause to express gratitude, Indiana can give special thanks for Lilly Endowment’s recent commitment of $100 million to 14 cultural institutions. The endowment’s action will enrich our civic life. And if you haven’t thought about its economic impact, think again.

I’ve been confused about this Paris climate conference and how the world should move forward to ameliorate climate change, so I seanced up my hero Alexander Hamilton to see what he thought.

This difficult and delicate balancing of civil rights and religious liberty is the fundamental goal of Senate Bill 100.
When it comes to economic policy, the reputation is undeserved: Canada has surprisingly often been the place where the future happens first.

Testing has become a nightmare. We’re waiting again. Yes. Again.
Greg Porter is my state representative. I respect the work he’s done in the community and I respect where I know he’s coming from when he proposes that Indiana adopt strict hate crime legislation in the coming session.
