5 thoughts on “Defensive moves blocked most anti-business legislation, commerce leaders say

  1. Who could have imagined that the Indiana GOP would be working against the wishes of the state’s business community to the point where the business lobby had to spend the legislative session playing defense and trying to rein in bad ideas? I thought the GOP was supposed to be the party of business?

    1. These legislators will do anything if it means they can put it on a campaign ad or collect a check from an organization for their campaign funds. They should all be required to disclose the impetus behind each of their proposed bills and who financed it.

    2. Times change.

      There’s always been a tension between the business wing of the GOP and the social conservative wing of the GOP. My perception is that things have gotten more tense the past 5-10 years.

  2. I move for a Vote of No Confidence in ALL Indiana politicians. They should ALL, each and every one, be voted out of office. Reboot and Start Over.
