Michael Hicks: Indiana needs more municipal flexibility
Over the past half-century, a tad more than 90% of population growth in Indiana occurred in metropolitan counties. Half of all the growth in Indiana over the past 50 years occurred in the Indianapolis metro area. That trend is accelerating over the past decade.

Dunn: Backing the Blue
If we really and truly “back the blue,” shouldn’t we be supporting our Prosecutor’s request for additional funding to meet staffing needs? After all, the Prosecutor’s office is the one that determines if, when, and on what charges those who are arrested will be tried.

Michael Hicks: NATO has secured our peace and prosperity
The first half of the 20th century was horrific.
Adkins: Too many in GOP favor chaos over governance
Even Republicans agree with me that their leadership in Congress is incompetent. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has already showed that he cannot count votes nor can he get anything done. Even Matt Gaetz, who forced out the incompetent McCarthy, admits he’d prefer a return of the previous Speaker. McConnell’s leadership in the Senate is better, but not by much.
