  1. I’d at least get rid of her committee chairs just over her closed minded marijuana positions, if no other reason. Time for someone else.

  2. Rokita and Banks are nothing but coat tail politicians at best and if daddy Trump says “jump, they will answer “how high”. The pendulum needs to move back towards the middle or this state will wither and die under the increased scrutiny of the ” low government ” party.

  3. It’s been lots of fun watching the window on what’s regarded as “conservative” shift so markedly right over the last 20 years.

    Looks to me like she doesn’t vote for nonsense Facebook inspired legislation that Republicans use to claim they’re the party of the people.

    1. Yes. In that time I’ve gone from “mainstream business conservative” to “Indianapolis liberal” without changing my views. (Mostly because I still believe in the First Amendment and therefore am not an Evangelical Christian Nationalist).

  4. Grew up and went to elementary and middle school with the Browns. One son particularly made many of my classmates’ lives miserable, myself included.
