I received an email from my State Representative today. Representative Kreg Battles (D) Vincennes, stated that “unless the Governor is willing to intervene with the Senate, a bipartisan effort to put Hoosiers to work seems unlikely. The Senate has put the brakes on job creation using excuses to stall the process”. EXCUSES, Really?

Here’s the rest of the story… the Senate attorney said  that job creation was not germane to the bill that the Senate attached it to which was addressing agricultural property assessment. So in other words, the Senate leadership actually followed the rules. Now, I realize that Rep. Battles has to fall in line with House leadership – but shouldn’t we applaud the Senate for following the rules?   I for one am sure that the Senate will find a better bill to attached the House jobs bill to and that the bill will pass. I would be hard pressed to believe that anyone would dare stand in the way of a bill that would assist people in getting back to work. So instead of taking a cheap shot at the Senate and the Governor, wouldn’t it make more sense to work with them to find a bill that is germane?

Hard to believe there was more to the story. For more information, check out the NWI times.
