With the primary season over, it is important to highlight the other major candidates running for statewide office who were nominated via convention. This past March of 2024, the Libertarian Party of Indiana held its annual convention to nominate state and federal level candidates for the fall election. Below are the two statewide nominees. Donald…
Our elected officials representing Dubois, Martin and Daviess Counties have been hiding, trying hard to pretend that they have no power to represent the people in their districts. They claim they have no input when it comes to INDOT projects like the Mid-States Corridor. That is patently untrue. Fortunately for the people in Southeastern Indiana, their representative,…
This Tuesday, we go to the polls to select who we want to represent us in November’s General Election. It’s not always a good idea to vote on a single issue, but this year, it is imperative that we do exactly that. That single issue is opposition to the Mid-States Corridor. We may not be…
I’m objecting to the recent letter to the editor trying to convince the public that the proposed Mid-States Corridor is about safety. The project office, Lochmueller, emphasized safety/congestion as a core goal in 2019/2020 public meetings. I went to Jasper Common Council the week of May 16th, 2022, and Dubois County Council the week of…
I have recently read comments regarding the proposed Mid-States Corridor and the Tier 1 FEIS (Final Environmental Impact Statement). There are a lot of misinterpretations regarding the findings. If people read the entire 800+ pages and over a thousand pages of addendums as I have studied in detail, you would understand there are numerous “assumptions”…
In a 4/29/24 Letter to the Editor published in the Dubois County Free Press, Steve Stallings of Jasper claimed the Mid-States Corridor was “necessary to maintain a safe flow of traffic.” Mr. Stallings claimed to have done “research” which led him to that conclusion. His research apparently failed to include any factual evidence or even a…
I would like to respond to Steve Stalling‘s letter about the Mid-States Corridor being safer for our children and grandchildren. I would like to know how he thinks this road is safer for our children and grandchildren? The corridor basically splits the southwest school district in half and a good portion of the greater Jasper…
Nothing is more important than the safety of our children and grandchildren. My research on the Mid-State Corridor leads me to believe that it is welcome and necessary to maintain a safe flow of traffic for the future of southern Indiana. Steve StallingsJasper
The other evening Mr. Jason McCoy hosted an informative talk about the history of the Mid-States Corridor. He went into great detail of the who, what, when, where and how we have arrived at the place we are at today. Mr. McCoy is not a politician; he’s “just a brick layer” who is concerned about…
Does anyone remember the I-67 project? It was Hank Menke’s proposal for an interstate highway from US-231 south of Huntingburg to I-69 at Washington. It was a 38 mile new terrain highway. He floated his idea back in December of 2011. What was Mr. Menke’s reason for this new highway? In his words, it was for…
