What would you call a proposed bill to make it more expensive for state-sponsored universities to acquire land? How about "a good start"?
Ball State University spokesman Tony Proudfoot says the school opposes the bill because it changes the law for just one entity that can use eminent domain.
Couldn't agree more. Make it more expensive -- and much more difficult -- for all units of government in Indiana to acquire private property.
I've been accused of forgetfulness from time to time, but I don't think I'd ever be this bad:
SOUTH BEND, Ind.— The owner of a northern Indiana chocolate factory arrested at a Chicago airport after a handgun was found in his luggage says he'd forgotten the weapon was in his briefcase.
What a rare and welcome display of common sense:
PHOENIX -- An administrative law judge ruled Tuesday that a Tucson school district's ethnic studies program violates state law, agreeing with the findings of Arizona's public schools chief.

You have to feel sorry for the people at Kroger who must make the decision on what to do about this. They're going to make thousands mad no matter which way they go (just different sets of thousands):

A federal grand jury in Ohio returned a
seven-count indictment on Tuesday charging 12 members of an
Amish splinter group with hate crimes following a spate of
beard cutting attacks on fellow Amish in the state.
We may let ourselves go from time to time, but we sure do know how to clean up for a party:
Indiana political leaders are looking to fast-track sex-trafficking legislation before football fans flood Indianapolis for the Super Bowl.
Oops. We forgot to celebrate Bill of Rights Day yesterday. Not there was much to celebrate, considering the frequency with which our constitutional safeguards are ignored:
A federal judge in Oregon has ruled that a Montana woman sued for defamation was not "a journalist" when she posted nasty comments about a lawyer in a bankruptcy case:
