Somebody should propose a bill to ban Andrew Ireland from Indiana.
Not including charter schools … which take taxpayer money … kind of gives away his intent. Then again, if you were a charter advocate and you were trying to keep getting taxpayer funding despite failing to graduate students at a rate well below that of public schools, I could see why you’d cut Ireland’s campaign a check for a lobbying exemption. (Charters graduate 79.1%, public schools graduate 93.9%)
This bill should be revised to ban all lobbyists, period. But then what would legislators do after they leave the Statehouse? And who would actually donate to the campaigns for legislators or take them out to dinner at fancy restaurants in downtown Indy?
Nothing like stifling the voices of those that the legislature is already stiffing consistently year after year. Make their voices and opposition go away. Unreal how far these folks will go to avoid being held accountable to their constituents.
Accountability sucks for politians, also their lobbyists probably didn’t have the right types of ” incentives” when lobbying.
Ban all lobbyists but then who would be writing the legislation in Indiana and paying to get it passed by legislators ?
How are legislators to get tickets to basketball and football games? *Gasp!* Might they have to buy their tix? *Double gasp!!*
Andrew, why only for public schools? I’m a public utility rate payer, commercially and as a resident, and my rates have soared in the past 5-years with no end in sight. Why not ban their lobbyists and their donations? Why silence one group over another?
Some folks can’t accept that fact that universities are big business and vital to the economy especially to cities like Bloomington, Lafayette and Muncie. Universities are economic drivers bringing students from all over the world. The universities need voices at the Statehouse to advocate for funding and raise issues just like other businesses and trade associations.
