We found that in the three months leading up to and the three months following Indiana’s last tax hike, sales to Michigan retailers in border counties rose more than 50% as buyers stocked up.

Indiana deserves a full, transparent evaluation of the benefits, risks and alternatives, not just optimistic projections.

To keep families in our community healthy and stable, businesses, government and the nonprofit sector must work together.

There needs to be an open and honest public discourse about the complete lack of transparency at the IEDC.

It’s 100% political and a shameful grab for total power. Is this the end of democracy in Indiana?

At the Boone County Preservation Group, we know it’s too late to stop Meta’s data center from being built. But that doesn’t mean it’s too late to ask hard questions or to demand accountability.
