“The layoffs leave the Indiana Historical Society with 90 staff members, including 42 who work full time.”
That’s enough. Cut more maybe. Get to work… stop the elite bloat. History is not hard… it happened yesterday.
Hope you get similar treatment at your place of employment.
Nobody dictated what positions to cut. They did that all on their own. How about keeping people actually doing the “educating” and cut the staff that “talks about the educating.”
Indiana has a $6.1 Billion dollar surplus. Surely, they could have found $1MM for the IHS. That’s .02% of the surplus. They have the money to pay for a bloated Governor’s staff, luxury SUVs for the Lt. Governor and Secretary of State, a $250,000 suite at the upcoming Indy race in DC, and the list goes on.
I agree 100%. A million dollars isn’t going to make or break this state but it does provide a lot of benefit to the Indiana historical society. This is a poor decision on the governor’s part.
Assuming that this is bloat, without justification, is foolhardy. This type of penny-wise pound-foolish activity by the inhabitant of the mansion on N. Meridian Street is exactly why Indiana is not a desired destination for anyone who can think beyond saving five dollars in the short-term despite clear impacts for the long-term. One should be more concerned about the bloat and waste attributable to meritless vindictive legislative and judicial actions for which all citizens pays and to whom no benefit accrue. What about the bloat to fund a stadium in northwest Indiana for which Hoosiers will receive no significant benefit but will be subject paying subsidies to a group that can well afford the costs. Any fiasco a la India Toll Road leasing boondoggle of yesteryear.
It would be helpful to know how many of those on the front lines – education and exhibits – were laid off compared to the executive staff.
It’s unfortunate that the MAGAts and their followers believe that businesses come to a state or city because of low taxes. While tax burdens play a factor, they come for quality of life issues, because it’s hard to get executives to move to places where the schools, parks, museums, and other quality of life issues are not up to par. Hamilton County residents pay taxes for fancy schools and parks and libraries, and more wealthy people move there. It’s not just waste; a lot of what the MAGAts are cutting is quality of life.
Of course they want to cut funds for the historical society. It supports education and knowledge of history, concepts that are politically dangerous to the powers-that-be.
Well said. Republicans hate inconvenient truths and know their low information voters don’t know the difference anyway
There are some unfortunate aspects to this, but relationship between the state and the Indiana Historical Society was a little odd. Now they own the building forever, not 99 years. Hopefully a sponsor can be found for National History Day. It is a fantastic program that can really engage students with history in grades 4 to 12.
