Indiana - Giving Arkansas a Run For Its Money

The State Legislature that once tried to legally redefine the area of a circle and require pi be rounded off has again demonstrated its ignorance by passing out of one chamber, a bill that would equate creationism with science.  Yes, Indiana's motto surely must be "Indiana - Giving Arkansas a Run for its Money".  Try attracting science and technology companies, those companies that make billions clinging to the tenets of actual science, to a state that screams "we are science illiterate and we are proud of that fact".

Meanwhile, both chambers have passed, and the Governor who wants to be Vice-President has signed, a bill making Indiana the 23rd so called right to work state.  It is shear nonsense that Indiana will attract more companies by this means.  Plain and simple, this is a union busting measure.   I would suggest that any person who opts to not pay union dues, be forced to forfeit the collective bargaining muscle of the union members and forgo the grievance process afforded by working in a union shop.  Fair is fair.  No dues - no services.

Adding to the triumph of the 18th century over anything modern, the Legislature has kicked a mass transit bill to the curb yet again. 

Watch out Arkansas, Indiana's on the move.
