		<title>Win, Lose or Draw?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that the 2010 Legislative session has come and gone, we can discuss who won, who lost, who was basically a draw.  Actually, there are different degrees of how much individuals win and lose based on what they hoped to accomplish, what they got done and how this all plays into the upcoming elections.  So [...]]]></description>

		<title>They Have A Deal!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m getting confirmation from very reliable sources that Indiana lawmakers have reached an agreement tonight.  No word on the details and no one is speaking on the record yet.  They were divided over unemployment insurance tax issues and some school funding matters.  Stay tuned.

		<title>Statehouse Trainwreck</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s where we are.
1.  Republicans say Democrats are including ridiculous demands for labor.
2.  Democrats say the GOP wants a two-year delay on unemployment that will cost the state $500 million.
3.   The Speaker doesn&#8217;t think they&#8217;ll be done tonight.
4.  The GOP doesn&#8217;t think there&#8217;s any reason to go past today.
5.  Not sure if the House [...]]]></description>

		<title>Statehouse Update &#8211; Afternoon Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With a weekend left, Indiana lawmakers are blaming each other for the stalemate here at the General Assembly. Senate Pro Tempore David Long says there could have a deal last week, because Democrats are making unreasonable demands they say will break the state budget.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Pat Bauer says he wants to make sure schools [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out of the Craig Frying Pan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This can&#8217;t be good.
I&#8217;m getting word this evening from my sources at the Statehouse that the real reason Indiana lawmakers can&#8217;t get anything done is because House Democrats don&#8217;t have a majority to pass anything, instead they only have 50 votes,  and you need 51.
State Rep. Dennie Oxley, Sr. has been out with health problems [...]]]></description>

		<title>Statehouse Update (3:00 p.m.)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be filing these throughout the day.  Here&#8217;s what I know so far.  A number of lawmakers say things are still &#8220;close&#8221; as far as working out their final hang ups on unemployment insurance and whether reclassifying independent contractors as full-time employees will be part of the deal.
As on lawmaker put it to me, &#8220;We [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are These Backroom Dealers?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s pretty common knowledge that Terry Burns of the Indianapolis Times doesn&#8217;t sneeze without his Democratic County party&#8217;s permission, so I was little surprised when he labeled the Mayor&#8217;s proposal to transfer the water a a backroom deal.
First, how can something be a backroom deal when most of the information  has been on the [...]]]></description>
