Sorry, no other way for me to interpret State’s proposed budget could cost Indiana Historical Society its building from The Indiana Capital Chronicle.
Rep. Greg Porter, D-Indianapolis, maintained the funding cuts “are clearly related to a divisive, partisan agenda” and alluded to programs the IHS has put on as being related to the maneuver.
“It’s unusual for the state to terminate a contract unless there’s been fraudulent activity. This is a deviance in the way our state does business, and it’s a bad faith move that tells vendors we’ll cancel contracts with no explanation,” he said. “Curiously, this is the contract that’s being terminated when we’re still paying a contractor for our Medicaid forecasts who’s responsible for the $1 billion mistake.”
He added that “ending the contract puts the IHS in a fiscal bind.”
This also brings to mind the issues brought up by Anne Helen Petersen in her essay This is How We Fall Out of Love with the World about how the Republicans abandon the public good to private power. i features that essay in my post Saving America From American Idiots.
If you agree, get hold of your state reps!
