The Yosemite National Park's annual budget is about $30 Million dollars.

trump spent $30 million dollars in the last month just visiting the Super Bowl and Daytona 500.

I'd say leave the parks open and have him turn on the TV. But what do i know about government efficiency?

I love the idea of a two-lane boulevard on Meridian. No one wants a state highway in their front yard.

[Senator Andrea Hunley @SenatorHunley]

ACTION ALERT⚠️Two bills antithetical to Indy's local autonomy & democratic process will be heard by House & Senate committees TUESDAY MORNING. I'm so impressed by the fight District 46 is putting up to oppose these policies -- we have to keep the pressure on. I'll see you there!

Bicycling activity was found to be significantly associated with better safety for all road users.

Motorists benefit when more people use bikes for transportation.

Setting aside whether or not this is good for our state (I don't think it is), why does this fall under the AG's purview? The AG overseeing this makes it feel suuuuuuuper facist.

@PoundstoneWill Well, it’s currently not legal to build light rail in IN so that’s off the table. It it easier to go more places in cars than buses, which is why I think we should more & better bus service for those who cannot or should not drive.

[Ruth Rankin-Keller @ruthbikes]

If you believe in “welfare-to-work” type programs, which many Republicans do, it just makes sense to support robust public transit.

[Josiah Keller @josiahkeller]

When's the last time you saw someone commuting in a car that was full? @FreemanForIndy hates the working poor, and wants them to be homeless & dependent on government aid instead.

[Ruth Rankin-Keller @ruthbikes]

@PoundstoneWill How so? The books and articles I’ve read suggest that investing in transit is cheaper than providing cars for low income folks, especially considering the cost of maintaining roads, which goes up with more cars on the road (Not saying folks who can drive shouldn’t, obvs)

[Ruth Rankin-Keller @ruthbikes]

@YimbysRglib @PoundstoneWill Improving public transit makes cities exclusive? I kinda thought transit did the opposite, offering more mobility to low income folks.

[Ruth Rankin-Keller @ruthbikes]

@WilliamHazen7 @creid815 He would certainly be better for our state than Braun.
