The weakening economy is producing worse
and worse tax revenue forecasts for Indiana. As a result, Democrats are calling for Gov. Mitch Daniels, a Republican,
to open the stateâ??s $1.3 billion rainy day fund.
Tough times like these are what the fund was created for, Dems say. Daniels has resisted, saying the economy could get worse.
Where do you come down on this? Is it time to start spending down the fund?

They also are trying to quietly kill all the Kernan Shepard local government consolidation bills that would cut at least $500 million in structural government expenses.
My 9 year old can see this math makes no sense.
What's a half-billion bucks more or less?

consolidation just consolidates the power. Watch how the consolidation of assesors actually ends up costing us Marion County residents MORE money in the end.
Keep away from our storehouse you bunch of grasshoppers!!!

I say let them fall flat on their faces, so we don't pay them upwards of $25/hr to put one bolt on a car an hour... or whatever else it is they're not doing - get to work people and get the government out of my pockets - they're thread bare already!
