The Water Deal: It Makes Sense

Chris Spangle — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:51:06 +0000

I surprisingly have caught some flack for Ed Coleman’s vote on the water deal. I fully support his yes vote because it makes sense. What is unlibertarian about transferring a public utility to a nonprofit public trust that answers to the people, and not politicians.

I had a conversation with someone over the weekend about why so many people are angry. They said that if every politician read this, maybe they’d get it. Their point was that politicians don’t seem to understand the righteous anger most middle class Americans are feeling at the moment. Who is on our side? Who [...]

Numbers that should make Hoosier Democrats Wet Themselves
