The General Assembly is getting out of an area it shouldn't have been involved with in the first place:
Indiana’s motorcycle dealers will be allowed to buy and sell their bikes on Sundays under a change in state law that legislators have approved. The Indiana House voted 68-31 on Monday in favor of the bill removing the current ban on Sunday motorcycle sales.
Well, good luck with that:
It's loony tune time at the Dunes:
A suspected Bigfoot sighting a little more than three years ago in the environs of Indiana Dunes State Park (IDSP) has led Animal Planet’s Bigfoot Finders to Duneland.
The episode of Finding Bigfoot will air at 9 p.m. Sunday, March 4, on Animal Planet.
Gov. Mitch Daniels says Preisdent Obama is to blame for higher prices at the pump:

GREENTOWN - A school in north-central Indiana is hoping to increase literacy by issuing iPads to kindergarten students.
The Kokomo Tribune reports that Eastern Elementary School in Greentown, 10 miles east of Kokomo, plans to buy about 100 tablets to be given to students in August.
In at least a partial victory for free speech, the Indiana Court of Appeals has reversed the order of a lower cour directing the Indianapolis Star to reveal the name of an anonymous poster to its website.
