I'd like to give a big shout-out to Indiana's Dems in the House.

2. It is infuriating to see the ignorance.

The GOP is literally selling the state down the river -- on taxes, safety, schools, you name it.

The Democrats put forth a lot of motions and amendments that just make plain sense. But almost always, they get shot down because (I've come to conclude) the persons sponsoring them have a D after their names. For God's sake -- they voted down a motion the other day that would have regulated how much square footage that homes that are converted to apartments must have. That is a true safety issue, especially with absentee landlords who don't do much for their tenants in the first place.

I could go on but it's clear that dumb-assery and ideology rule supreme.

The Democrats see the big picture, and they see trouble coming for this state. But no one is listening. But they keep trying. That's why I admire and respect them.
