First off I want to personally commend Mayor Spinner and the great city of Huntingburg for the way this matter was handled. What Mr. Summers did was wrong in every sense of the word. He has publicly apologized and has removed himself from the boards he served on in response of his actions. There is…
Currently in the Indiana Senate there are multiple bills that address the Federal government’s overreach into Hoosiers daily lives. These Senate bills propose to use provisions set forth by James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and many other founding fathers that are all contained in the 10th amendment. The 10th amendment stands as the check against the…
In my life time I have never seen the country so divided, however I have never seen our state so united. Hoosiers from all political parties, religious groups and single issue groups are awake to the erosion of freedom, the expansion of federal power and the complete destruction of our constitution.

As a rural county, in mostly ignored part of the state for generations, we have seen nearly 6 straight years of work the state has done to build…
Nancy has my vote. As many of you are know, Nancy Habig is running for the Greater Jasper School Board. I met Nancy seven years ago. I didn’t know her except that she was on the school board. To be honest, I was surprised that a person who no longer had children in school would want to…
A Sign of the Times Political yard signs are a mixed blessing for candidates and campaigns. If you are a candidate, you have to assume that your opponent will put up as many as possible, so you have to do the same. If you are political party representative, you get more requests than you can…
