I may not have voted for Braun, but I can still muster up a modicum of optimism. All I can say to the Governor-elect: Please stay healthy!
Congratulations Mike. Job Well done. We are all proud to have you representing all of us, Hoosiers. Any help, give me a shout.
Why does Braun’s transition team include lobbyists? Why does it include the far-right attorney Jim Bopp? Why does Braun want to restrict the power of citizens to vote on property tax referenda?
Because he can, that’s why. Therein lies the problem with super-majority ideological control of politics and public policy. There will be no bipartisanship to build a better Indiana. It will by the GOP’s way or the highway for Hoosiers. Special interests will get their way for fewer regulations that protect our health, safety, and environment. Bopp will bring election more drastic restrictions on women’s reproduction healthcare, fewer regulations on financing political campaigns, and looser election laws in Indiana. Limiting property taxes will reduce income to our schools, further reducing the quality of our children’s public education as the new governor pushes for more private education support from our tax dollars.
Lastly, if Braun thinks he can contain Beckwith’s religious agenda and zeal, he hasn’t been paying attention to where his new lieutenant governor. I fear Indiana will no longer be a state that leans into the future, but one that withdraws to a a placve ranking right down there with Mississippi.
Brent, the people have spoken. I’m in no way a Braun fan. But to the victor goes the spoils. If more people thought like you than a different person would be in power with their own cronies. The entire system is somewhat sketch.
