Episode 12
Indiana State Reps. Blake Johnson and Earl Harris Jr. are back with reflections on the Statehouse — and a major life change just around the corner for Blake.
In this episode, the co-hosts break down:
- The ongoing concerns around SB 287, which would make school board races partisan — and why that’s raising eyebrows across the aisle. Update: bill passed by razor thin margin.
- The drama around Senate Bill 1 and the governor’s push for real property tax relief
- The high-stakes budget talks, the politics of SB 518 (school funding), and the looming possibility of a special session
- Road funding, tolling fears in NW Indiana, and what’s still in play as the 2025 session hits the homestretch
Plus: Blake gets real about impending fatherhood (again), and Earl speculates on whether ChatGPT is gunning for the co-host chair.
