  1. This is more than ‘worthy of distinction’, this article, and the inaugural state of the year award, is pure political mockery! Mockery of Indiana, our legislature, and the citizens within!

    1. No, it would not. The main reason it got the award is because the legislature voted against it.

  2. How is this possible? From a DNC PR Firm, no less. I constantly hear in the IBJ how Indiana is a Neanderthal cesspool that will never attract economic growth, is a horrible place to live, and my personal favorite “all the young will leave!!”
    Surely the WaPo made a mistake
