Laws, Loopholes & Local Roads: What Just Became Law in Indiana
Session’s out, but the policy rollercoaster isn’t.
In this episode, Rep. Blake Johnson and Rep. Earl Harris Jr. reunite (virtually) to unpack the most consequential - and controversial - laws that took effect in Indiana this July. From a property tax “cut” that shifts the burden to local governments, to a partisan power grab in our school board elections, to cuts in healthcare and early learning, they don’t hold back.
They also get into:
Raising the teacher salary floor—and why it’s still not enough
Medicaid work requirements: effective policy or performative cruelty?
A spirited debate between the hosts over SEA 1461 (road funding, tolling, and why it’s a win for Indy)
How interim committees really work and why your voice matters right now
Blake’s got a new baby, Earl’s lost another hubcap, and together they’re breaking down what Indiana just passed and how it’s going to hit your wallet, your schools, and your future.
