Sometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

Problem: High utility bills
One solution: Repeal the 7% sales tax on residential utility bills!
Let's get it done for Hoosier wallets.

A 2nd entrance would help ease congestion, improve access & ensure more people can safely & conveniently experience the incredible natural beauty our region has to offer.
Investing in access to our parks means investing in tourism, local economies and outdoor experiences for all Hoosiers. #INForAll

I recently signed a letter calling for a second entrance to Indiana Dunes State Park. The Dunes are one of Northwest Indiana’s most treasured natural attractions, drawing visitors from across the state and the country.

I am deeply concerned about the precedent set when this balance is ignored, and I look forward to Congress hearing directly from the Administration on this matter as soon as possible.
