Our social policies will continue to drive off the younger, educated work force. We did some quick, non-scientific math of the children of the group of parents we hung around with and 70% left the state. PhD candidates, computer science grads, civil, mechanical, electric and nuclear engineers. If we, as a state, want to see something such as the LEAP District succeed, we need to be more in tune with the current social trends. Clearly, some states have done a marginal job managing legal drugs, but there is certainly enough data to figure out how to make sure we put our best foot forward managing the issue. Poor environmental policy, shaky K-12 education outside of very specific geographic areas also have the potential to hinder attracting and/or retaining a work force which the State of Indiana is banking on. I personally don’t think our social policies mesh with our desired economic goals.
So true. From my own experience, I have three children between the ages of 25 and 28, each have advanced college degrees, and each has moved away from Indiana to more progressive states (CA, CO and IL). I may be biased, but these are three bright young people who will pursue their futures (and pay their taxes) outside of Indiana.
Jim and Sean, you are both spot on. The super majorities in both chambers of the Indiana legislature could care less what the majority of Hoosiers want. In survey after survey, they are told they are out of step. Sadly, very little will likely change until the gerrymandered safe districts are eliminated and we have competitive races where the candidates will have to be more responsive to the will of the people. Allowing ballot initiatives would also be a big help in overcoming the 1800’s thinking of our current legislature.
Apparently the Hoosier Legislature doesn’t read the Hoosier Survey.
