@JamesEBriggs @jaketeshka @Rep_Wilburn @indystar This is common sense, and I love it.

I love this bipartisan bill from @jaketeshka and @Rep_Wilburn, and I'm glad they co-authored this column for @indystar. indystar.com/story/opinion/…

@hmb_1013 @indystar Welcome!

Quick bio refresh: I am Back Home In Indiana covering pop culture for @indystar. I’ve openly declared my love for Indianapolis and its arts scene, and I’m stoked to keep tabs on everything it has to offer. Send all your hot takes to hbushman(@)gannett(.)com.

This is a HUGE deal that will bring a transformational new model for Hoosier students and a stronger talent pipeline for Indiana employers. loom.ly/T5NWpl8.

Indiana had so many news deserts without this sad news. I'm sickened by the dismantling of journalism.
