MoreFEIGENBAUM: All eyes looking to crucial mid-April revenue forecast
March 23, 2013

MoreFEIGENBAUM: Geography, more than attitude, may shape fiscal debate

began.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: General Assembly is Senate-centric this term
March 9, 2013
Cynics might suggest the General Assembly really hasn’t accomplished much since convening in January. While that’s
a tad unfair, the session does seem unusual.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: Battles yet to be fought over handful of divisive bills
March 2, 2013
We’ve made it halfway through the 2013 legislative session with much less in the way of figurative fisticuffs than in

MoreFEIGENBAUM: Pence, lawmakers of both parties have played nice so far
February 23, 2013
As the General Assembly passes its first major milestone in the 2013 session—the final round of committee hearings in
a bill’s chamber of origin—we’re picking up a few insights into the dynamics that likely will guide the
remaining two months.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: Budget negotiations will center on education, health care

to predict.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: Key issues not illuminated in Pence address
January 26, 2013
Many lawmakers and other observers had expected this year's State of the State speech to add key details to Gov. Mike Pence's
roadmap—effectively serving as a GPS of sorts for lawmakers seeking to divine the route taken and the destinations visited
on the journey promised on inauguration day.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: Range of non-fiscal issues may take center stage
January 19, 2013
While taxes and spending (and related work-force and economic development matters) will consume the bulk of legislative attention
in coming months, several other major issues will dot—or blot—the agenda, and should bear your attention.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: Budget issues will drive almost every legislative debate
January 12, 2013

the key issues the Indiana General Assembly will confront over the next four months.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: What does the 2013 session have in store for you?
January 5, 2013
The 2012 elections brought us a new Republican governor, a GOP House and Senate super-majority for the first time in a generation,
and the first Democrat elected to a state office other than governor since 2000.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: Unusual circumstances could stir Indiana General Assembly
December 15, 2012
When lawmakers reconvene Jan. 7 for the 2013 legislative session, they will do so under a unique structure: a new Republican
governor and Republican super-majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: Lawmakers did much more than pass right to work
March 17, 2012
While some editorial writers suggest legislators accomplished little of consequence this session, and House Democrats lament
lost opportunities to restore education funding and fix child services programs, we actually experienced a remarkably productive
final four weeks.

These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.
The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)
As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.
The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.
I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
