HoosLeft #21: Steering the Battleship Guest: Monroe Co. Democratic Party Chair David Henry Subscribe at https://scottaaronrogers.substack.com https://www.votedavidhenry.com/ https://www.indivisible.org/ https://www.indystar.com/story/news/2016/04/25/trey-hollingsworth-joseph-hollingsworth-hollingsworth-capital-partners-greg-zoeller-indiana-ninth-congressional-district/83274574/
Indiana politics are a rotten mess. One party controls EVERYTHING. With very rare exceptions the opposing party does have some control of small parts of our state. The legislative districts have all been so obviously gerrymandered that a grade schooler could recognize it. With each passing legislative season the Republicans reach for more and more power, granting favors to those who support them. Example is the new property tax scheme that reduces property taxes for apartment complexes by a huge percent while raising property taxes on home owners. Their desire to steal water from one area to benefit large corporations in another part of the state. Then there is our governor who recently made a trip to the Texas border to grandstand with the radical Texas governor who wanted to block the Border Patrol from their work and instead use Texas National Guardsmen. How about the still pending grab at more power over our state universities? When will it stop?

Outstanding interview.
We need tens of thousands of David's across the country to get involved. Grassroots efforts flipped Michigan and Minnesota. It can be done.
