I know I usually write about state and local issues here, but one thing I can’t stand is blatant discrimination. The only discrimination I have ever believed in should be based on merit and ability. This is why I take issue with recent statements by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In a […]

State Senator Vi Simpson (D-Bloomington) says she will not run for Governor in 2008. Simpson says she can better serve the citizens in Indiana by staying in the Senate.

Just so you know, my son finally came home from the hospital yesterday. He had surgery to remove a growth that was attached to his lung. He’s weak, but in good spirits and the doctors say he will be fine after his recovery. He (along with his Dad) sends thanks to all of you who […]

Although the next election for Marion County Sheriff won’t occur until 2010, a primary race could already be shaping up. Current Deputy Kerry Forestall is already running for the spot currently occupied by Frank Anderson. However, Forestall could find a primary opponent in IMPD Officer and current City-County Council Member Sherron Franklin. Franklin has expressed […]

The City-County Council has introduced a propsal that’s intended to help Indianapolis land Super Bowl XLV, but instead I think it’s going to result in the multi-million-screw job on the taxpayers. Under proposal the city would agree to “agree to provide all governmental services and support necessary to the success of Super Bowl XLV and […]

As if two chambers, divided government and polar opposite philosophical differences weren’t enough to complicate the lives of Indiana lawmakers, now they don’t have as much money to play with as they thought they would. State budget revenues are down about 45 million dollars. This will only complicate matters as lawmakers try to pass full-day […]

Indiana lawmakers are in the half-time phase of the General Assembly. I say half-time phase because the session is more like a three-period hockey game and we’re in the second period.
