If you smoke a pack a day, Indiana's new cigarette tax will cost you $2 a day, $730 per year. If you quit smoking, you'll save ~$10.70 per day, $3,905 per year. Quitting is hard, but there's resources to help. Good for your health. Good for your wallet. quitnowindiana.com

32 Republican Senators voted for it (6 didn't) in 2017, so more like the Tax Hike Thirty-Duo. Also 61 of 68 Republican reps voted for the gas tax. Here's the vote bill history for anyone who wants to review: legiscan.com/IN/bill/HB1002…

Indiana’s Tax Hike Trio of Senators Greg Walker, Jim Buck, and Rick Niemeyer all voted to impose the gas tax on Hoosiers. We now have the chance to replace them with leaders who will actually fight for taxpayers.

Rob did a good job today explaining what's up with property taxes and how SB1 complicates everything 👍 (Except for calling paying taxes a "privilege to live in your house." They are annual payments for the local government services that serve your home and community😄)

I will do my best to hold elected officials in Indiana and the awful system they’ve created accountable. But I can’t do it without you! Please join us today 10-noon and help us grow our program to be the voice for your the politicians refuse to be. youtube.com/live/4y7GYJSKJ…

$200B could fund $500 monthly subsidies for childcare for 10M children for more than 3 1/2 years. $200B could provide guaranteed maternity leave of $1,000 per week for six weeks to the 3.6M U.S. moms giving birth each year for 9 1/4 years.

I wonder what's exacerbated school funding issues since 2025. Almost like there was some bill that was passed with a negative fiscal impact of like negative ~$774M in revenue to school systems statewide over three years🤔
Jacob Stewart@jstewartIndy

Despite frequently touting supposed national economic and fiscal benefits brought by immigrants, federal officials have barely lifted a finger to cover the increasing cost on local school systems. Read my latest for @indystar below. Indianapolis Public Schools pays on average $6.5 million every year unfunded by the state or federal government to teach English to non-native speakers. Meanwhile, a financial crisis is forcing them to cut $7 million from their budget elsewhere.

Oh yeah, I guess drop recommendations if you have them. I enjoy history and science on the nonfiction side, fantasy and sci-fi on the fiction side, but willing to take on books outside those boxes. Just don't recommend me any Victorian lit 💩

My 2025 New Years Resolution was to read more and I finished 20 books last year by doing 30-45 minutes a day after dinner most days. Made it my goal to read at least 20 again this year and already ahead of pace for 2026!

Finished my sixth book of 2026 so far, reading the 2025 Goodreads recommendation of the year for fantasy: "Fourth Wing." I guess it was popular on TikTok or something and is part of a the new-ish "romantasy" genre, but it was a decent read.
