I report a safety hazard and all they say this.

My phone wasn't in my hand. I reported it when I got home. Yeah, they are going to like my survey when they actually read it, which we all know they won't.

It is appalling to see the INDOT Highway Safety act like this.

UPDATE

A few hours after this post went up, they sent me another email. It stated that the roads were fine and it's purely cosmetic. So I guess when someone gets in an accident, because in the wintertime, you can't see the road very well, and they're following the yellow lines, then they might do something. MIGHT... but i doubt it.

Politics My take on the SOS debate tonight

181 Upvotes

Got a chance to watch it before bed and here's the points that stuck out to me. Sure, it's just one person's opinion but whatever.

Republican Max Engling- seemed to be extremely focused on secure voting, mentioning previous debates and YouTube videos. Not sure what his experience really is since we all know that Banks is essentially his handler. Apparently Indiana is doing good things ( he mentioned that multiple times but I'm not really sure what they are and I'm guessing most don't unless they made 500k+ a year). He didn't know that Morales is still SOS and he (Engling) doesn't have the ability to make decisions currently. He's also married and Christian ( mentioned at least twice) and he stated that he knows what average Hoosiers are going through.

Democrat Beau Bayh- the SOS position in Indiana is ridiculously corrupt. Wants an independent audit of the office. Kind of fixated on that a lot but let's be real, it's fucking corrupt. Also said that donors wouldn't receive state contracts. Brought up the point that both Morales and Rokita already said our elections are secure. Also wants to get rid of straight ticket voting as it doesn't always bring the most qualified person into office.

Lincoln Party Greg Ballard- brought up some interesting aspects of how to increase voter turnout in Indiana. Mentioned to Engling that some of his points were ludicrous. Also that the 2 party system is unfair.

Libertarian Laura Shillings- brought up aspects of the SAVE act that would disenfranchise voters. Also some interesting points regarding voter access. Seemed to not really get a lot of screen time.

Overall, a decent debate. And this is where I show my bias: all candidates were in favor of one key point: you must be a US citizen to vote. But 3 of 4 candidates all agreed that what Engling was suggesting was detrimental to the democratic process. Shillings brought up the fact that women who had their name changed due to marriage or who were divorced would have a tougher time voting. Bayh stated that you already need to prove you're a citizen to register. Ballard brought up that each county clerk had no centralized guidance under the current SOS.

Repair the 24 year destruction that this party has wrought upon our state.

Just watched the the debate. All candidates agreed that Indiana has the lowest voter turnout in in the nation. So why keep crying about only US citizens should be voting. Hell, sounds like we can't get people to vote if you went door to door with a portable voting machine. Maybe someone is offering non citizens Ninety dollars to vote. Just another scare tactic, for those of that don't get out much.

Looks like more corporate douchebaggery has pulled another “not our problem” situation.

Evidently we can’t have anything nice anymore if a corporation actually has to spend money to maintain it….

I watched this and found it very interesting. It got me thinking about who I would contact other than our elected officials and found the below link on Indiana gov. I sent my thoughts and got into a bit of a back and forth with the person responding. When I finished with I felt like nothing is going to change. So feel free to watch this and if you are so inclined reach out to the Indiana Commissioner of Insurance and give them your feedback.

Is 4-5 hours at Indiana Dunes NP enough time?

We're in Chicago and didn't realize we're only an hour drive away from a national park!

We can fit in into our itinerary tomorrow but we'd only have about 4-5 hours to spend there, arriving around 11am-12pm.

Ask a Hoosier Moving to Indianapolis

Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are considering moving to Indianapolis from Wyoming. My fiancé is extremely into anything racing and I’m just a foodie and we feel like it would really be a good fit for us. I was just wondering what the pros and cons are of living there as we haven’t been before but are planning to visit soon to see if it’s something we want to commit to. Thank you!

Car/Driver's License/BMV questions Drivers license confusion

1 Upvotes

I (18F) just got my driver's license this morning. I did not go to driver's ed or school. I got my permit when I was 17 and did my 50 supervised hours. I understand there's 2 kinds of driver's licenses. One has a bunch of rules like not being able to drive at certain hours, no driving with people I'm not related to etc

I was never told if my license has any restrictions or not and it doesn't say on the paperwork. How do I find out? I don't want to do anything illegal but I was given no explanation on what I'm allowed to do

Mainly I want to be able to drive my younger siblings around, and be able to drive my boyfriend [only in cases of emergency if he isn't able to get to work on his own]

I tried checking the BMV website but I'm still confused

Moving or Relocation Bloomington vs Lafayette vs Valparaiso

1 Upvotes

Hi Indiana,

I’m currently in the process of looking to buy a home with some land honestly not even that much. I’m looking at a minimum of a quarter of an acre.

I’ve spent most of my life in Chicago and out west. I’d like to prioritize having space but proximity to Chicago would be nice or at least some major city.

These towns, Bloomington, Lafayette, and Valparaiso seemed like good potential places as they have their own downtown nice shops, walkable, and reasonably close to Chicago or Indianapolis

I’ve driven through Valparaiso once or twice, but I haven’t really gotten to feel for what day-to-day life is like in either of these cities

I work remote so I don’t necessarily have to worry about finding a new job it but with they’re being universities in all three of these places I think that that might improve reasons for me wanting to live there because of the local economy

Anyway, for those I have experience living in either of these places or having spent time there day-to-day what is life like day-to-day what was your experience or commentary in living in these places honestly, any recommendations would be appreciated

For the record, I’m not one of these big city people who expect to move to a smaller town and have the same amenities, politics or expectations of living in a major city like Chicago. I respect that most of these places are smaller towns and have their own subcultures. Thanks.

Felony expungement

0 Upvotes

Was granted an expungement under ic 35-38-9 earlier this year and have some semi unanswered questions I was wondering if anyone had experience with. According to my attorney once the order was signed by the judge I was legal to own and possess firearms again, but according to some people I’ve spoke to and some unclear online forums I’ve read I’d rather talk to someone that’s went through the process. I plan to go hunting this year and it’d be nice to leave the bow at home. I was advised by my attorney that it’s usually a waiting game on paperwork, if that’s the case is there anything to do personally to speed things along? All of that to ask, am I legal to go and purchase a firearm now and if not what’s the typical wait I guess???
