"I recently attended a public meeting about the news landscape in Indianapolis, and a member of the audience pointed out how often regular citizens use public records and open door laws."

Here's to the regular people taking up the fight!

Got as far as No. 3 and burst out laughing because I am a nerd.

[Max Jones @TribStarMax]

@nickjones212 Mine too. We were in SF last October 1 and it was in the 80s.

I so wish Indiana could depend on the type of leadership Illinois is receiving from Gov. Pritzker during such a fraught
time.

[Tina Sfondeles @TinaSfon]

Gov. Pritzker just put out a very long statement about the plane crash in which he calls Trump "unfit to lead during moments of crisis," and says the Trump admin must be asked: "Did Elon Musk play a role in the removal the former FAA director who had bipartisan support?"

Terre Haute, Indiana, was famous for three things in 1913: @thbcbeer’s Champagne Velvet, Eugene V. @DebsMuseum, and a saloon district whose lively gambling rooms and brothels led an East Coast newspaper to named it “the most wicked city in the country." —>

[Max Jones @TribStarMax]

To say that Terre Haute has a rich and colorful history is, umm, an understatement.

[Adam Wren @adamwren]

This read from @sissenberg in @SmithsonianMag about an unlikely duo exposing political corruption in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1914—and who set a new precedent for fair voting across the country—is magisterial.

Deep appreciation to Sen. Greg Goode for making this possible today. Thanks also to the TH Chamber of Commerce for cosponsoring the reception. Humbled and honored to accept this recognition from State of Indiana and Gov. Holcomb.

[Gregory J. Goode @gregoryjgoode]

I had the honor of presenting the Sagamore of the Wabash to a great leader, Max Jones. Max retired as Editor of our great community paper, TH Tribune Star. This along with his service with the Indiana Debate Commission & his deep commitment to WC IN makes this so deserving!

Hard to quibble with this list, but missing a big one:

Terre Haute, Indiana.
