  1. It’s so sad and so stupid that so many people didn’t even bother to find out who they were voting for and just pulled the “R” lever to put this incompetent into office.

  2. State employees deserve huge raises. While everyone thinks they have it easy, they are overwhelmingly underpaid in comparison to the private sector…even with insurance and benefits. For reference, I was a state employee for a short period of time, and staff always worked their collective tails off to do good work. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

    1. Then let’s raise salaries.

      Because this feels like the buying of loyalty or silence about how incompetent someone might be as a leader… or we have to pay all the staffers more because they’re all doing more with Diego in charge.

      Reminder – that brother-in-law makes more than the mayor of Indianapolis will. And Diego Morales, election denier, will be administering the 2024 elections in this state.

  3. Indiana. A state that works…with processes and standards that are not explicit, have no penalties for unethical or even illegal behavior, and lax oversight or transparency to earn the trust and respect of its citizens.
