They said the bad parts out loud. They are discrimnating against political affiliation. That is "not" prohibited. What a joke our state has become.

Our state, yes, but also entirely with the blessing of the Roberts Supreme Court

Spencer Deery is right about making it harder for conservatives to win primaries, but that is overshadowed by the advantages of incumbency. Apart from his service in Vietnam, what do we value about Jim Baird? His plan for perpetual reelection seems to be lie low, have some incel intern tweet the occasional MAGA tribute, and go on as many junkets to non-shithole countries as he can. That is preferable to someone like Beckwith, who is actively trying to do malignant things with his tin-hatted legions.

Trying to find the silver lining...

I’m from Indiana and it isn’t common sense to allow Trump to bully Indiana. Just say no.

Sad to hear about LBC. Do you know if the owners are retiring, or if business is not going well? The latter is a trend in beer now.

I think they've been quietly struggling for a while. Between Krug not working out, COVID, the general economic conditions and environment for restaurants (and beer, as you say) right now... I hope it's just the right time for them to get out of the business before too much financial harm has been inflicted.

Thank you. I thought Krug was People's, though?

Baird is a joke. I call his office frequently. The last time a staffer assured me they were "working" and that Trump was not damaging the East Wing. 🤪

Do you support this map, Ron Alting? I'll bet he wishes he had a time machine to retract the statement that could end his politcal career.

I read years ago that Baird who is now 80, was hanging around until his son Beau was ready to move into his position. I don't know much about Baird and didn't even know he was our rep here in WL until the past few years. Has he ever done anything for our district? As far as I can tell he's never been to this side of his district. If he ever replied to an email it was always just a form letter to gaslight never addressing the concern or question, saying he was a veteran and it's Biden's fault no matter what the topic was. So depending on whether this map passes or not, I'll either have to have him or get the lady from Noblesville.

Not a damn thing except his attempt to overthrow a legitimate election in 2021. For a man who sacrificed for our country, he has no intestinal fortitude.

It may be the site itself, but FYI the link for the proposed redistricting map isn't working.

I just refreshed that link. It works for me. But if it doesn't for you, let me know and I'll check into it again. Thanks for the heads up.

Not sure why the original AND this new one were working for me, but I'm glad it's working for you now.
