I vote to abolish the Indiana BMV. Let insurance companies be responsible for providing drivers training. Bet that we'd get better drivers!

If there's a God in heaven, the extra money, whatever the sum, was extracted directly from Mitch Roob. And those of his ilk.

Budgets are always about choices. Given a finite amount of (dwindling) resources, if you choose to fund one thing, at an extra amount, you've got to reduce something else.

I've opined here about my changed view of Mitch, and I do not like Bauer's attitude. But I do not trust the governor's motives when it comes to some of those choices. His record is, uh, let's just say--unflattering. As in:

Privatizing FSSA functions, with the contraft awarded to a company for which Roob used to work. Really stupid.

Sometimes I think this neocon crowd loves government so much they're going to buy it.

Im betting there are two goblins sitting on Mitch's shoulder: one good, one bad. Both whispering in his ear. He clearly has the ability and talent to choose the better goblin. I hope he does.

Channel 13 reports Bauer settling for $160 million additional for education. Wonder where THAT money comes from? Reserves?

I'd imagine it's easy to get intoxicated on a deal. I'd like to not see our state shutdown too. But, not at the price of spending money we don't have. I'm backing whomever's the fiscal conservative in this three-act play.
