But that doesn’t make up for flaws in how the map was created. “I think, in some ways, they did good job,” said Vaughn, policy director of Common Cause Indiana. “There’s good things to […]
Perhaps it was just a quirk of fate that the Indiana Supreme Court heard arguments on a state law that would expand the power of ideological extremists just as the primary season was kicking into high gear. Then again, perhaps not. The question before the state’s high court involved Holcomb vs. the Indiana General Assembly. […]

Curt Nisly, R-Goshen—a proponent of limited government and personal liberties—will be challenging Rep. Craig Snow of Warsaw, a more mainstream, business-oriented Republican. Due to 2021 redistricting, the parameters of House District 22 will […]
The Indiana Supreme Court heard oral arguments Thursday in Gov. Eric Holcomb’s fight against the Indiana General Assembly over the power to call special legislative sessions. Holcomb filed the lawsuit in April 2021 regarding House Enrolled Act 1123. Now the Indiana Supreme Court is deciding whether the General Assembly has the right to call a special session or […]
Last week, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis announced the latest Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. The Fed’s preferred barometer for inflation policy hit a forty-year high, with a 6.4% annualized rate since last February that doesn’t fully capture the recent spike in gasoline prices. The impact of inflation on household budgets is obvious […]
The explanation Indiana Attorney Todd Rokita offered for settling his silly, silly lawsuit with conservative commentator and radio talk show host Abdul-Hakim Shabazz reveals what Rokita thinks about his voters.
