What do McCarthy, Nixon and Trump have in common? Oh yeah, they’re Republicans.
The Indiana House says the cigarette tax could go from $1 a pack down to 60 cents a pack because of stiff resistance from industry groups. These are the same sort of groups that continue to resist the sale of alcohol on Sunday in Indiana. If these groups would allow the sale of alcohol on Sunday the need for another tax hike for gasoline would not be needed. The people of Indiana need representation, not the industry group.

A floor manager to report to the supervisor is a $40,000 a year position to oversee maintenance on the city’s pool of vehicles. You can’t make this stuff up. Gary’s broke and everyday they make up these positions.
Steve Bannon announced the “Deconstruction of the Administration State.” First install agency heads that are unqualified, cut the budgets and don’t hire enough employees. We are seeing the destruction from the inside. Bannon has said that he is a “Leninist.” He said, “Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too.”
