Republicans would have you believe they are doing such a good job they are out prospecting. What a joke.
I can always tell when I get into Illinois because the quality of the roads improves dramatically.
It’s nice to know that Republicans are drafting their budget bill in private caucus and will ram it down our throats when they’re good and ready for us to take it.
Sure, let’s pretend that a state’s borders are malleable and can be moved, by the whims of its border inhabitants and whatever grass they deem greener, that state borders haven’t been fixed for some 200 years. While we are at it, let’s go ahead and game plan a succession from the Union in case those nutcase Dems ever get ahold of anything again. We want to be ready to act right?!
Every single second spent on this agenda is a dereliction of the duties of our so-called ‘leaders’. Stop doodling on your napkin, and get to work.
Good grief. Every biennium, we’re told that they’re “going to focus on the budget” and then Republicans waste time and money exploring this frivolous nonsense and “addressing the concerns of Illinois residents.”
YOU ARE A REPRESENTATIVE FOR INDIANA. You aren’t even a Congressmember! Your responsibilities stop at the State line. Instead of finding ways to sell off Indianapolis’s and Gary’s public schools to the lowest bidder and asking residents of an entirely different State what they would want from us, maybe focus on problems that matter, like our skyrocketing infant mortality rate.
Pritzker has balanced Illinois’ budget while improving public services. They used their surplus to actually spend on things that were needed by the people of the State. Maybe Indiana Republicans could learn a thing or two.
Similar to blue states subsidizing red states, these counties are likely red and being subsidized by Illinois’s blue counties. No thanks.
Low IQ idea but still smarter than thinking we can buy Greenland.
Silly and what a waste of time and energy. Hoosiers, as a whole (not everyone mind you) are fat, poorly educated, and not very well paid. This is what our lawmakers come up with — yet alone spend time to even imagine? There’s a reason the best and the brightest either leave Indiana when they can, or avoid it altogether. I fear this is some continuing culture wars red state/blue state thing. Gads!
I don’t think Todd Huston gets reelected after this stupid waste of time of trying to acquire parts of Illinois. Come on, man. Thank goodness there are lots of other Republicans to carry the less than optimal ones.
I am 100% certain that the people who were elected to the Indiana Legislature were elected to represent the people of Indiana, NOT the people of Illinois. We aren’t going to annex any of Illinois any more than we are going to annex Greenland. For heaven’s sake. Could they please pay attention to the needs that we have here in our state? We have plenty.
Prime Minister of Greenland is wanting to talk to Trump about becoming part of the United States. You may want to know what you are talking about before you type.
Beth, that’s not what is happening at all.
“Frederiksen, in her call with Trump, reiterated Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede’s statement “that Greenland is not for sale,” according to a Danish press release. Denmark has sent Trump private messages expressing willingness to discuss boosting security in Greenland or increasing the U.S. military presence on the island, Axios previously reported.” – Axios, January 15, 2025, 3:30 PM
Beth – Please don’t post completely false information. You may want to know what your are talking about before you type.
Illinois should jump at Indiana’s offer and off-load a bunch of rural counties that receive more than they contribute.
I see a bunch of keyboard warriors on here that have probably never come up with any real ideas of their own. They just sit online complaining about the difference maker with the courage to take action. Clowns
Beth, I think you want to participate in more threads and be here longer before you start making accusations like that.
This is legitimately the best idea that Indiana Republicans have brought forward in many years. It’s still absolutely harebrained slop, but at least they’re keeping their minds out of the gutter.
We don’t need these people. They have no ideas, just a massive circus.
