  1. Seven Hoosiers have been killed in six months by illegal alien truck drivers,” Banks said. “This is a national crisis.”
    Sounds more like a local thing Banks.

    1. I think if you took a look you would find that this is happening across the country and not just here in Indiana.
      These trucks are 40 ton (average weight of a loaded semi) vehicles and bad things can happen when they are operated by non qualified operators. Hopefully better training will reduce the rise in fatal accidents.

  2. You know, occasionally the MAGA folks get it right. This is one of those occasions.

    Drivers of cars, trucks, buses…anything on the highways…absolutely should be able to read and understand English-language road signs and warnings. I’m not exactly sure how one argues otherwise with a straight face.

  3. “Last I was on Interstate 465, today, our signs are in English,” Freeman said.

    The same senator who wants Washington Street to remain a freeway admits even he uses interstates. Curious, that.

    Getting a license in Indiana should require knowledge of English. Now, let’s test the elderly more frequently as some have no business on the road. Provide them alternate means of transportation.
