Terre Haute Tribune-Star. July 1, 2021. Editorial: Study exposes Indiana's political imbalance   It's no secret that Indiana is, in political terms, a bright red state. The Republican Party has an iron grip on state government and in most local government entities. What Hoosiers don't realize is how skewed its political district lines have become and the ends to which GOP leaders have gone to squeeze every bit of power it can from the map-drawing system. In the 2020 elections for president, governor and attorney general, Republican candidates won their races with about 57% of the vote. Yet, ...

Editorial Roundup: Indiana KPC News. May 9, 2021.

Mike Young, R-Indianapolis, “permits the attorney general to request the appointment of a special prosecuting attorney if a prosecuting attorney is categorically refusing to prosecute certain crimes.” Although Young will claim otherwise, most people recognize the bill was filed primarily to try to overrule Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears’ decision to no longer prosecute people for possession of small amounts of marijuana.

Terre Haute Tribune-Star. Jan. 6, 2021. Editorial: Indiana up to the NCAA challenge. No state better equipped to handle college tourneys   March Madness is no stranger to Indiana. Actually, college basketball's 'œbig dance' feels quite at home in the Hoosier state. The hoops sport, at every level, holds a significant spot in the state's heritage, and yet another niche is about to be added. The high school game's 'œMilan Miracle' happened here in 1954, along with Oscar Robertson and the legendary Crispus Attucks state champs in 1955, and Damon Bailey's heroics in 1990.
