    1. What does this comment even mean? Denver in addition to being a cool town, is booming economically. States legalize weed, not Cities. What is are the reasons for not making it legal? Rational responses only.

    2. Indiana resident and local communist Lisa wants to keep locking people up for victimless crimes! More at 8!

  1. I recently drove through Danville, IL and about 500 feet from interstate 74 there was a large pot dispensary. As I drove by, there must have been well over 100 people standing in line, outside in the cold, waiting to go inside. I’m sure many of them were from Indianapolis.

  2. “The Indiana Chamber of Commerce and other major business groups object to President Joe Biden’s proposed vaccination mandate for businesses and the state push to prevent employers from making such decisions on their own.”

    Indiana is an at-will state. If you don’t like the policies at work, you can leave or be fired.

    Remember all the complaining around the ban on smoking in the workplace? We survived.

    1. Slow on all the important issues, but quick to intervene with nonsense like stopping businesses from vaccinating employees or making school board elections partisan.

      Because making education more about what party you’re in as opposed to your actual platform will obviously lead to better educational outcomes for kids, and having a sicker workforce is a great attraction to recruiting new businesses to the state.

    2. Things Joe supports are important issues and things he doesn’t like are nonsense.
      Why do you care Joe? I thought all the smart people left the State. All that’s left are us GOP idiots working 2 jobs.

  3. Because I’d like the state of Indiana to be a strong state that my kids would be able to stay and work in after graduation. I’d like for them to not just have low taxes, but also nice places with good schools they want to raise their families in.

    How about a state where business clamor for come to Indiana because they can find the workers they need and not just because we bribe them with tax dollars?

    That’s why I care. Now, explain to me how making school board elections partisan helps with that. What should Nancy Pelosi or Donald Trump have to do with school board races? How’s that help Indiana?

    1. Do folks get outside the Indianapolis area bubble and head elsewhere? I mean, yes, the areas around Indianapolis and Fort Wayne and other cities are growing. But the rest of the state isn’t growing, it’s slowly rotting.

      I’ve been visiting the same rural county seat for 20 years and I’ve seen nothing but 20 years of decline. Houses are 60% cheaper than they are in the Indianapolis area… and they sit on the market for awhile. Houses don’t sit on the market in the Indianapolis area. The local business district has closed and been replaced by a Wal-mart.

      Why don’t Republicans care about the rest of the state of Indiana? The READI grants – using money given to Indiana by the Biden administration – were a good start, but more investment is needed.

      Yet the #1 priority for the Indiana House is making it harder for businesses to respire vaccinations. Feels to me like our legislators don’t think the future of Indiana is worth investing in.
