Maybe the IBJ should ask Braun why we need to spend a billion dollars on the Mid States Corridor, a highway upgrade he’s championing to his home town. INDOT research shows that it isn’t needed. Conveniently, Braun’s company runs numerous trucks along the route.
The people living down there don’t want it either. A huge boondoggle. Braun will be a 1 term governor.
“ they know what a bonanza it would be in terms of lowering their own property taxes.”
Most data centers are being landed on property tax abatement deals, among other exempted taxes.
“After rezoning approval in February, the county commissioners unanimously voted through a development agreement in May that will see the tech company pay no local taxes on qualified computing equipment purchases for a 40-year period. That’s on top of a 50% abatement on property taxes for 10 years on data center buildings.
In return, the anonymous company has promised to spend at least $1 billion on the facility and to hire 50 employees per data center building.
The local taxes are in addition to state tax breaks granted to the project by the Indiana Economic Development Corp. that could total up to $42 million over 35 years.”

“Everyone else was for a different outcome, including the House by a wide margin. And whenever you have to use Democrats in a super majority to get it across the finish line … That means Bray’s lost a lot there. ”
Bray had the support of a majority of Republican senators. Chopper Mike did not.
Is no one else troubled by the fact the President of the United States has publicly stated he is willing to cut off federal funding to Indiana because the legislature (Senators, actually) listened to their constituents and voted against the redistricting, the sole purpose of which was to appease POTUS? And our own governor is perfectly okay with POTUS making this threat and seems to agree with measure as a “punishment” for disloyalty. We have three more years of both this POTUS and this spineless governor.
Its called blackmail.
It is also illegal and our governor and congessional representatives shoudl understand they will be held accountable if Indiana loses federal funding. THOSE ARE OUR TAX DOLLARS AND NOT TRUMPS!
Three years? You think this sort of behavior is going to change post-Trump?
They are who every “hysterical liberal” warned about after the first Trump admin and that shall not change until the Republican Party either dies off or literally sees the leadership locked up.
Joe B, unless Trump pulls an unconstitutional stunt, then we can hope there’s only 3 years left. IMO Vance and others don’t have the indescribable pull of Trump to attract voters so hopefully there’s a light at the end of this tunnel. One wildcard is money – while Musk might be out, Trump has catered to the other richest people in the nation and their $ could sway an election.
It’s shocking to, every now and then, take a step back to realize where we are. The headline refers to the potential loss of federal funding which Congress has approved and to which we are entitled, all because our Senate listened to constituents and rejected mid-decade hyper-partisan gerrymandering. How can we so matter-of-factly accept a situation where a president’s tantrum can cost us the hard-earned tax dollars we are net-importing from prosperous blue states?
The President is one of the most self-obsessed, vindictive, insecure people on this planet. Only one way to deal with a bully is to stand up to him. Even if you have to take some shots.
Agree. I think it will require republicans to stand up to him rather than democrats, who will be dismissed as playing politics. Perhaps the 21 Indiana Senators is a start.

Marion county should lose money for not enforcing laws. Then the state can take over enforcement and prosecution
Prosecutors decide which cases to prosecute, and which to not prosecute. Appears Marion County leads the state in prosecutions and convictions on most serous crimes.
Which division of the state would you expect to take over the Marion County Prosecutor’s office? Rokita’s office…an office run by an attorney who should have been disbarred for lying to the Supreme Court?
Cannot stand Braun and Beckwith. Two of the worst politicians in Indiana history since the klan controlled the state and governor’s office in the 1920s. Braun a complete Trump sycophant and Beckwith is a Christian nationalist. Both need to go.
And federal funding should not be tied to following dictates and responding to threats. It is shameful that Braun dared to utter such. Has democracy ended? Apparently, funding is no longer provided based on need or due process based on project justification, but is solely meted out if one does the bidding of the administration. Has the nation descended to a patronage system, rife with cronyism which is the equivalent of reverse DEI, at best. And yet the governor, who should support fair representation for all Hoosiers and a right to fair representation by district even if a district is of a party different from yours, has the audacity and ill will to seek to intimidate and coerce state representatives to accept an undemocratic vile and shameful gerrymandering plan dictated by forces outside the state. Bravo for those who acted with integrity, despite the vitriol, the stunt the strong-arming, the swatting. Such tactics have no place in a democracy, and a leader who supports such has no rightful place in government,
I was told by someone who works at FSSA that the new admin is requiring employees to buy their own office supplies. Brilliant move! That might save hundreds of dollars and lead to turnover costing thousands of dollars.
Hey, here is an idea for the Governor, focus on Indiana and Hoosiers, not the federal government nor it’s administrations federal wishes.
