Leaders of Indiana’s GOP touted Senate Bill 1, the property-tax overhaul recently signed by Governor Mike Braun, as quote “historic tax relief” that will benefit most homeowners, farmers and small businesses. Democrats, however, denounced the measure as a “lose-lose” proposition that will result in higher local taxes and cuts in vital government services.…
The lack of affordable childcare can be viewed through various prisms: through the eyes of a single working parent, an understaffed business scrambling to hire and retain workers, or a child needing physical safety and a nurturing environment. Lawmakers examine the General Assembly’s ongoing effort to ease Indiana’s potentially crippling childcare shortage.…
Indiana has a love-hate relationship with “home rule,” a concept that, in theory, gives locals a fair degree of autonomy — but, in practice, often takes a back seat to the prerogatives of the General Assembly. Guests include Republican Senator Aaron Freeman of Indianapolis, Democratic Senator Fady Qaddoura of Indianapolis, and Terre Haute Mayor Brandon Sakbun.…
In the 1980s and ’90s, Indiana viewed “economic development” as the enticement of high-profile, high-tech, high-wage manufacturers, ideally from other states if not other countries. More recently, a fair number of policymakers have called for greater transparency and the cultivation of smaller employers already established in Indiana.…
Do you call it a chuckhole or a pothole? A much tougher question: how do you pay to fill them all?

As the General Assembly weighs new expectations and limitations on the state’s public colleges and universities, we’ll examine a multifaceted debate that more or less boils down to this: Are left-leaning institutions and professors trying to force beliefs on students or are conservative lawmakers attempting to impose their views at the expense of academic freedom?…
Thanks to a push from the state’s publicly regulated utilities, cleaner, renewable sources of power, such as wind, water, and the sun, have carried an increasing share of the state’s energy load.

Welcome to the first regular session of Indiana's 124th General Assembly, better known as the 2025 long session. No one, of course, can say with certainty how the session will unfold, but this much is clear: Lawmakers should buckle up for a hectic and, in all probability, historic four-month ride, thanks to a palpable hunger for change, a highly charged political climate, a dizzying array of high-stakes challenges, and a legislative agenda that would send the energizer bunny scrambling for a backup power source. Host Jon Schwantes speaks with Indiana's legislative Leadership, Speaker Todd Huston, Senate Pro Tem Rodric Bray, Minority Leaders Shelli Yoder and Phil GiaQuinta on the first episode of Indiana Lawmakers in 2025.…

Holcomb took issue — with Statehouse reporters Brandon Smith and Niki Kelly, as well as Dr. Laura Merrifield Wilson, a political science professor with the University of Indianapolis.…

This week we’ll review the just-concluded legislative session with Indiana's caucus leaders.…
This month, the buzz about “March Madness" on college campuses might not be basketball. Instead, the hubbub may center on another high-stakes competition: the battle over who will control what can be taught or said at Indiana’s public colleges and universities. We examine this multi-faceted debate with Rep. Sheila Klinker (D), Rep. Bob Behning (R), Rep. Ed DeLaney (D), and Sen. Spencer Deery (R).…

Ford and Dr. Laura Merrifield Wilson, a political science professor with the University of Indianapolis.…

Shelli Yoder and John Ruckelshaus with the Indiana State Medical Association.…
