As a young person, the idea of exempting people 65 and older from property taxes is criminal.
If you exempt them from taxes, they get the increase in value of their property at no cost. Meanwhile, the tax burden to fund government shifts more to every homeowner under 65.
There is a lot of talk in the Statehouse about tax reform. Hear what Indiana’s GOP governor candidates have to say.

I remember a time when vouchers were pitched as "Helping inner-city students escape bad schools."
Rapidly transforming to "Subsidize religious education for well-to-do families at the expense of everyone else."
In Indiana, the average school voucher recipient has never attended public school and comes from a family earning more than $99,000 a year.
The cost of the program has soared and is projected to reach $600 million this year.

There are desperately poor seniors out there, where $25 a month is a burden.
But if the state wants to do this it should be NARROWLY TARGETED, like household annual income at like under 200% FPL (~$41K for household of 2, $30K for 1).
Otherwise, pay your taxes.

Sadly, the results in Ohio have likely only hardened the Indiana GOP to NEVER let Hoosiers vote directly on issues. Because if they did, they might quickly find out that their supermajority frequently enforces minority policy onto this state.

Tax math 🧵: Let's take a $150K house in rural Jefferson Twnshp, Noble County, tax rate 1.3209%. Tax bill now $808.
Braun's plan is flat 60% deduc for homes over $125K.
$150K house would have net AV of $60K instead of $61,200 currently.
Tax bill: $793.
Savings: $15. (1.9%)
Mike Braun just dropped a big property tax relief plan - via email on a Friday morning.
It would increase the homestead deduction, which he says would result in an immediate 21% cut in the average homeowner tax bill and 39% cut in the average tax bill for homes worth $80,000.

Today Republicans will vote to require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
The Biden White House and Democrats in Congress are “strongly opposed” to this legislation because they claim “it’s already a crime” for illegals to vote.
You know what else is already a

Yeah, the government shouldn't force peple to do things unless they're a pregnant child molest victim and then hooooooo boy, do we have something slightly more inconvenient than wearing a mask over your mouth...

This endorsement should tell you all you need to know about what Jim Banks has become
Jim Banks is one of the most skilled and determined conservative warriors in America. Indiana is truly blessed to have him.

Today is the 60th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

Dude, no one even remotely normal "panicked" about having to wear a mask. The only people who freaked out were the Karens who can't be bothered to consider anyone but me me me.

blasts “Chicken Little” Democrats for blocking mask mandate ban
“We cannot repeat the anxiety, the stress, and the panic of the last couple of years. That’s what this legislation is about. End the mandates, end the panic, let’s get back to some common sense.”

"78% want direct ballot access through an initiative or referendum on the state’s abortion policy"
New poll: 0% of the state's GOP supermajority wants this, because they know their stance would lose
Given that 64% of Hoosier voters believe abortion should be legal, Indiana should not have some of the worst anti-abortion policies in the nation — yet we do.
That’s because the far-right GOP supermajority is building a state for themselves.

Only 37% of vouchers in IN in 2021-22 went to families earning less than $50K, the "dirt poor."
42% went $50-100K
21% went to those over $100K. That was only 7% before IN Republicans broadened the eligibilty to allow more well-to-do families to take part.

Question: Why isn't Shelli Yoder on the short list for Jennifer McCormick's Lt. Gov?
Rural roots and consistently fights for good policy. A true blue legislator who would be a boon on the ticket.
Childcare costs in Indiana are too high for working families. While the Legislature took some limited action this year, I look forward to using the 2025 budget to advance real solutions for working Hoosier families. We must address this growing problem.

Why would you need to be smuggled in if the border is "open?"
This is absolutely horrific. The Biden administration’s cruel and inhumane open border policies encourage and enable human smuggling.

Yeah, no one is shocked by this.
U.S. states that have banned abortion, or are expected to, have among the country’s weakest social services for women and children, and have higher rates of death for infants and mothers.

So I was in downtown Indy today and I see what they were saying about the out of control crime. I was mugged six times and murdered three times!
Oh, wait, no, none of that happened. It was totally fine and I had a great time.

Even if you cut 100% of non-defense discretionary spending, there would still be a deficit, so what are you cutting Sen. Braun?
It's been five years and I don't think you've ever laid out actual policy.
The goal of the federal government should be to SPEND LESS — not raise taxes!

The petty loser who tried to overthrow democracy is the one who is going to save it? Makes sense.
Are we sure we can't find anyone else who wants to run for senator than this bootlick?
America is under attack and President Trump is the leader who can save her.

Don't worry, they'll give it back to you as $125 after another year of hoarding tax dollars and not putting it toward any goods or services the state could actually use.
Indiana will tax student debt relief as income, reflecting similar policies in other U.S. states following the Biden administration's announcement of a forgiveness plan last month.

Instead of running a Holcomb-style classic conservative campaign, Crouch's decision to race to the bottom for the title of biggest MAGA sycophant pretty much guarantees she loses to Braun in May.
Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch just endorsed Donald Trump for president.
