Indiana law is clear that unemployed workers are not required to accept offers of employment or reemployment if conditions are not “suitable.”
We now have a five-stage tangled web of differing and undefined “capacities” that are all voluntary and admittedly unenforceable and will quickly be seen as entirely optional.
Considering the current prescription for social distancing, Gov. Holcomb and the IEC should make additional changes to Indiana’s voting rules to protect the health of voters and democracy.
Does it get us back to business as quickly as we’d like? No. But the governor and his team are doing the best they can under difficult circumstances.
