Was it just me, or did Barack Obama seem very passive-aggressive while lecturing us on how the Founders "fell short?" And I love how he threw in that the Founders only let "white men who owned property" vote. Because it proves that he has NO IDEA what he's talking about.
The Founders didn't care about your gender. They cared if you had a stake in the game. If you owned property, you could vote, no matter your gender. Honestly, we should bring that logic back—if you aren't paying taxes, why should you get a vote on how everyone else's money is spent?
I know this is a long one, but trust me when I say..... it's worth listening.
During yesterday's Indiana State Budget Committee meeting, the discussion on Indiana's wetland credit program was WILD.
@Sen_ChrisGarten questioned why private property owners and farmers can be required to buy wetland credits after being told they've impacted a wetland, calling the current "fee-in-lieu" system a "Ponzi scheme." He argued that credits can be purchased for mitigation projects hundreds of miles away, raising the question of how replacing a wetland in one part of the state with one in another actually benefits the local environment.
Then came the numbers.
According to Garten, the program went from roughly $1.8 million in credit purchases during its first few months in 2018...to $7.3 million in 2019...and then exploded to $25.8 million in 2020 while much of state government was shut down.
But what really caught my attention?
INDOT is the biggest purchaser of these wetland credits.
Think about that. One government agency paying another government program with taxpayer dollars to buy credits. If that's accurate, taxpayers deserve to know exactly how this system works and where all that money is going.
Garten also made serious allegations that, during prior leadership, IDEM and DNR employees aggressively targeted farmers and private property owners over alleged wetlands. He even stated, on the record, that after pursuing wetland legislation he received a call from then-IDEM Commissioner Bruno Pigott, who allegedly referenced complaints about Garten's private business and suggested inspections could follow. Garten characterized that as an attempt to intimidate him.
He also recounted stories from constituents who said inspectors entered private property following anonymous complaints and, in one alleged case, told a farmer to "go sit on his porch" while they determined "what rights he had left."
Those are significant claims. If even a fraction of these allegations are true, they deserve a thorough investigation by the General Assembly.
Senator Chris Garten is doing AMAZING work at the IGA exposing all of this.
Any Indiana politician supporting Muslim immigration should be required to read and respond to this report documenting the rape, torture, and trafficking of over 250,000 British girls at the hands of Pakistani rape gangs.
A Noblesville High School student put up a very milquetoast poster advertising her pro-life club. The high school forced her to take it down and later disbanded the club.
She sued. Federal courts ruled against her. The Supreme Court refused to hear the case and let the lower court ruling stand.
Something to remember when Noblesville schools asks for more property taxes this year.
If MREs are good enough for our troops, why not for welfare?
What if EBT was replaced with monthly MRE deliveries,
8 cases per person. No misuse. No luxury. Just food.
Needs met. Problem solved!
