The Cheat Sheet, Vol. 6, Issue 14 April 2017 Cold Beer, Carryout & a Little Capitol Chaos There s been a lot of moving parts to the Rickers story. We spent a good chunk of the day talking to all our various sources at the Statehouse, and when you start connecting the dots, it paints a rather interesting picture. First of all, a lot of folks have been speculating why House Speaker Brian Bosma and Senate President Pro Tempore David Long seemed so mad when all this broke. There were several reasons, of course, there was the fact that cold beer was being sold in a convenience store converted to add a restaurant which both have said was contrary to state policy. But really what got them ticked is up until now, our lawmaker friends have led a pretty boring existence. You might recall your favorite LNG lamenting about this on several occasions. Well after dealing with RFRA, right to work and other big blow-ups over the past few years, the two leaders were enjoying a session that didn t see everything blow up, at least there were until this broke. And the Rickers controversy blew all that up. This is why they ve been so ticked off about this entire deal. Photo: The Columbus Republic If you re not a member of the Antelope Club, you should be.

Still, the rhetoric has stuck with many Hoosier voters, said Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, who runs IndyPolitics.org, an influential state politics blog. The data says manufacturing is surviving even thriving in Indiana, but some voters find that hard to believe when friends and neighbors job losses are fresh in their minds, Shabazz said. The emotional argument sometimes tends to work a little better with some of these folks here, just because of Indiana s long-term manufacturing history, he said.
