They will use this to further destroy any voice that Democrats have in Indiana. Any State with a permanent one party super majority results in bad legislation. I’m saying this as a current Californian with the opposite political problem. Sorry Hoosier Republican voters, but it is time for a moment of self reflection. Are you the party of right-wing bigoted extremists, or the party of pragmatists like Governor Holcomb? The Democratic voters decided they wanted a pragmatic President like Joe Biden, vs a democratic-socialist like Bernie Sanders. It’s time for all of you to take a look at the fringe elements in your party before it’s too late to turn it around. Having democratic-fascist politicians like Trump running your party is disastrous for our future. I personally don’t think the socialists on the left are even close to as bad as the fascists on the right, but both are harmful if you’re ever looking for bipartisanship to exist again.
Dear Wes, if you truly are a R in CA, the “problems” in Indiana should be the least of your concerns. You look more like a D or a Lincoln project supporter. You’ve got wildfires, earthquakes, lockdowns, rolling blackouts, homeless encampments, high taxes, massive unfunded pension liabilities, and a governor who eats at the French Laundry when he mandates everyone else stay home. If you did your homework, the governor brought this on himself by not consulting the legislature last year when he ordered the lockdowns. He was in his authority for 30 days, but the legislature needed to be consulted and brought into the decision. We’ll never know, but had the lockdowns occurred in 2019 the governor would not have gotten re-elected. Pragmatic Joe just proposed raising the capital gains tax to unprecedented levels, he’s got a massive influx of people encamped at the border who made T-shirts in his honor, stairs, and his dog bites and ruins the carpets.
The kitchen called, it would like its sink back. I guess you thought you would just throw everything out to see what sticks. California has always had earthquakes and wildfires, just like Indiana has had devastating tornados and floods over the years—natural disasters are not political acts. Homeless people have encampments in places like Indy, too. Who cares if someone’s dog bites? 99.999% of people have stumbled at least a few times in their lives on stairs. Biden’s capital gains increase would only affect those making over $1 million in taxable income, which is a minuscule percentage of taxpayers. In 1972, anyone with capital gains over $50,000 was subject to a 35% tax rate, so that high rate impacted far more taxpayers than Biden‘a current proposal. Seems like it’s time to get your carpets cleaned.
Stanley, Holcomb did offer to bring the legislators back so they could weigh in. They declined his offer.
And legislators had the power for the last three months to end the state of emergency at any time they chose. They have legislative supermajorities and could’ve easily done it. Why didn’t they?
And voters in November 2020 had the opportunity to elect Don Rainwater, a candidate who vowed to end the mask mandate his first day in office. He got 11% of the vote. The other 89% of the vote went to Holcomb or Woody Myers, who wanted to make the mask mandate stronger.
I don’t think your position is as strong as you think it is. It would appear you were part of a vocal, yet uninformed, small minority of Hoosiers.
