  • 2018 General Election Report by IBRG (Update15)
    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Tumultuous Political Environment Nets Solid Election Wins Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 70 of 74 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious. Twenty-one (21) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Considerable excitement and upheaval in the Indiana electorate this mid-term election certainly created rough waves and realignments around the state. However, in the end there were few ultimate changes in the political status quo for both candidates and seats held by the parties. Republicans swept all statewide races by significant margins, led by an unexpectedly large double-digit margin victory by Mike Braun for the U.S. Senate seat. In the General Assembly, Republican majorities took a relatively modest hit, but not enough to lose super-majority status. In the House, three (3) incumbent GOP legislators were defeated, resulting in a net breakdown of a 67-33 GOP majority. In the Senate, the Republican super-majority was reduced by just one seat to 40-10 with the defeat of notorious Sen. Mike Delph (R-Carmel). Although the final tally changed little, the Senate battlefield was intense and involved more competitive races than seen in the last decade. It’s very hard to look at the 2018 midterms in Indiana state legislative races as a “status quo” election, even though the number of seats changing was minimal.

    Cite as: 587 U. S. ____ (2019) 1 Per Curiam SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES KRISTINA BOX, COMMISSIONER, INDIANA DEPART- MENT OF HEALTH, ET AL. v. PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF INDIANA AND KENTUCKY, INC., ET AL. ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT No. 18–483. Decided May 28, 2019 PER CURIAM. Indiana’s petition for certiorari argues that the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit incorrectly invalidated two new provisions of Indiana law: the first relating to the disposition of fetal remains by abortion providers; and the second barring the knowing provision of sex-, race-, or disability-selective abortions by abortion providers. See Ind. Code §§16−34−2−1.1(a)(1)(K), 16−34−3−4(a), 16−34− 4−4, 16−34−4−5, 16−34−4−6, 16−34−4−7, 16−34− 4−8, 16−41−16−4(d), 16−41−16−5 (2018). We reverse the judgment of the Seventh Circuit with respect to the first question presented, and we deny the petition with respect to the second question presented. I The first challenged provision altered the manner in which abortion providers may dispose of fetal remains. Among other changes, it excluded fetal remains from the definition of infectious and pathological waste, §§16−41−16−4(d), 16−41−16−5, thereby preventing incin- eration of fetal remains along with surgical byproducts. It also authorized simultaneous cremation of fetal remains, §16−34−3−4(a), which Indiana does not generally allow for human remains, §23−14−31−39(a).

  • Democratic Money
    Democratic Money: A Populist Perspective with Lawrence Goodwyn and William Greider Remarks presented on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Populist Sub-Treasury Plan for financial reform 9 December 1989, St. Louis, Missouri Introduction by Tom Schlesinger Director, Southern Finance Project It was a resigned, plaintive-sounding analogy but it spoke volumes about the roaring ’80s. "I don’t think it is healthy to have this dramatic concentration of financial power," investment banker Felix Rohatyn told the New York Times in 1988. "But it’s just like the nuclear age, you can never uninvent the atomic bomb any more than you can uninvent these astronomical capital markets." Maybe so. But Mr. Rohatyn’s financial world, for all its explosive effects on American society in the past decade, has proven to be eerily fragile as well as inordinately powerful. In fact, that world is no more permanent than those created by the crop lien system in the 1880s or stock watering in the 1920s. To reckon with a system that appears to have spun so majestically out of control, it helps to consider America’s historical record of financial disorders -- and of ordinary citizens organizing themselves to "uninvent" the problem. There’s no more telling example than the Gilded Age and the biracial agrarian firestorm it provoked called Populism. The Populist movement built itself on a model of economic cooperation intended to combat the two sources of financial pressure that plagued farm communities 100 years ago -- vise-like credit conditions and a pinched, inflexible currency. By the end of the 1880s, hundreds of thousands of Americans had been drawn to Populism’s organizational seedbed, the Farmers Alliance, through its cooperatives and vibrant system of grassroots education.
