Ah, the return of an old friend -- on the day of the dedication of George W. Bush's presidntial lirary, the Bush Derangement Syndrome comes out of hiding:
Media Matters took a break from whining about Fox News to weigh in.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and legislative leaders reached a budget deal Thursday that will cut the state's personal income tax rate by 5 percent over the next four years while giving small increases to school funding.
The tax-cut plan would reduce the state's current 3.4 percent tax rate to 3.3 percent in 2015 and then reduce that to 3.23 percent in 2017.
The Chicago Tribune finally catches on:
Hours before the federal spending sequester began on March 1, when President Barack Obama predicted that "People are going to be hurt," he did not add, Trust me, I'll make sure of it. But he might as well have, as this week's furloughs of air traffic controllers make obvious.
I'd say this is good news:
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Some top Indiana lawmakers seem prepared to accept anticipated big drops in business at the state's casinos and to not provide much help as the gambling venues face growing competition from neighboring states.
Today's "well, duh" entry:
The immigration proposal pending in Congress would transform the nation’s political landscape for a generation or more — pumping as many as 11 million new Hispanic voters into the electorate a decade from now in ways that, if current trends hold, would produce an electoral bonanza for Democrats and cripple Republican prospects in many states they now win easily.
Anybody think this is a good idea?
INDIANAPOLIS— After waiting at least five years after their convictions, Hoosiers who commit minor crimes could have those convictions expunged, or removed, from their court records under a bill headed toGov. Mike Pence’s desk.
If there is a line between "nanny state" and Big Brother, I think Michael Bloomberg just crossed it:
n the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks.
Republican state senators have blocked a vote on a House-approved measure that would force amazon.com and some other online retailers to start collecting Indiana's 7 percent sales tax this summer. That's six months sooner than the date under a deal Gov. Mitch Daniels reached with the company last year.
The Boston manhunt and the mainstream media's gun control blind spot:
We wrote about the MSM’s inability to grasp the politics that caused the gun control bill to fail in the Senate this week. The aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing illustrates the divide.
