HIP reform details still being negotiated

1 week ago | newsexaminer.com | Whitney Downard

In his second tenure leading Indiana’s most expensive state agency, Family and Social Services Administration Secretary Mitch Roob wants to significantly change Indiana’s insurance program for low- to middle-income Hoosiers. But ongoing negotiations in Washington D.C. could undermine or fundamentally alter the third iteration of the Healthy Indiana Plan, otherwise known as HIP.
Retailers, researchers criticize Indiana plan to exclude soda, candy from SNAP

2 weeks ago | newsexaminer.com | Whitney Downard

Hoosiers could be prohibited from purchasing soda and candy with their food benefits as early as January, but researchers and retailers question the effectiveness of the move — noting how difficult it could be to implement. Teas and other, non-milk based beverages may be out, but candy bars with flour — like Twix or Butterfingers — are fine, a confusing distinction for clerks and cashiers to explain. kAm{2DE >@?E9[ E96 7656C2= 8@G6C?>6?E 2AAC@G65 E96 DE2E6’D 2AA=:42E:@?

Right after his team clinched a spot in the NBA finals, Indiana Pacers Coach Rick Carlisle delivered a home truth. “In 49 other states, it’s just basketball,” Carlisle said to the crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, “but this is Indiana.”kAmr2C=:D=6 H@F=5 <?@H] %9:D :D 9:D D64@?5 DE:?E — 2?5[ :7 H6 4@F?E 9:D J62CD 2D {2CCJ q:C5’D E@A 2DD:DE2?E[ :E :D 9:D E9:C5 — 4@249:?8 E96 !246CD]k^AmkAmw6 8C6H FA :? }6H *@C<[ E96?

MAGA to women: stay home and have babies

2 weeks ago | newsexaminer.com | Jim Hightower

The right wing routinely demonizes family-friendly policies of liberals as “social engineering.”But look out! Here come those same politicians, putting on MAGA hardhats and firing up their political bulldozers, to push one of the most arrogant and intrusive social schemes imaginable. kAm%96J :?E6?5 E@ C6\6?8:?66C E96 p>6C:42? 72>:=JP %96D6 “AC@?2E2=:DED” H2?E 72>:=:6D E@ 4@?7@C> E@ 2 r9C:DE:2? }2E:@?2=:DE 72>:=J DECF4EFC6 — DA64:7:42==J[ 2 5@>:?2?E >2?
Jim Irsay, down the road

4 weeks ago | newsexaminer.com | John Krull

Years ago, I attended a special preview of the long, unspooled typescript of Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road” at what was then the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Irsay had bought the treasure for $2.43 million and was about to send it around the country for a series of exhibitions. This was well before the 2014 incident when he was pulled over with enough pills in his possession to start his own pharmacy.

The third day of prisoner exchanges between Russia and Ukraine went ahead as planned on Sunday, wrapping up a program agreed to earlier this month, hours after a second night of deadly missile and drone strikes across much of Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities said at least 12 people were killed in heavy Russian airstrikes, prompting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to renew his call for more sanctions.
More highway tolls might be in state's future

1 month ago | newsexaminer.com | Leslie Bonilla Muñiz

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun’s administration is getting serious about tolling to make up for falling fuel tax revenue and upgrade aging highways – eight years after former Gov. Eric Holcomb’s administration backed away from the prospect.
Originalism, the administrative state, and the clash of political theories

1 month ago | newsexaminer.com | GianCarlo Canaparo

When liberals hear conservatives say that the president should have total control over the executive branch, what they often hear is that the president should be a unitary lawmaker. That explains why one New York Times journalist erroneously described unitary executive as “reject[ing] the idea that the government is composed of three separate branches.”Liberals are right to fear a unitary lawmaker. A unitary lawmaker is likely to be a tyrant, unless he’s an angel, and men never are.

The real costs of kiling Head Start

1 month ago | newsexaminer.com | Stephanie Schmitt

All of us want our kids to get a fair start in life. And for millions of American families, that start has come from the federal Head Start program. But unfortunately, the president has frozen Head Start funds, laid off many federal Head Start employees, and closed numerous regional Head Start offices across the country. Now a leaked draft of the president’s budget proposes eliminating Head Start altogether. kAm%9:D H@F=5 36 2 42E2DEC@A9:4 564:D:@?
