Indiana passes law allowing lawsuits against "obscene" government performances.

"House Enrolled Act 1014 gives legal standing to any person, anywhere, to seek injunctive relief, attorney's fees, court costs and "other reasonable expenses" if they file a lawsuit claiming an Indiana governmental entity knowingly or intentionally organized or hosted an obscene performance, or used any taxpayer dollars to fund an obscene performance."

FOX59: "Fiancé of Indianapolis hit-and-run victim speaks out against driver’s ‘slap on the wrist’ sentence”

Bernard said Hadrick’s sentence sends a dangerous message.

“Don’t pull a gun out, just drive a car, and you’ll go do some house arrest,” Bernard said. “You want to go kill somebody, you just drive your car and you’re going to get a slap on the wrist.”

#Indiana #Republicans just executed a sudden takeover of #IndianaUniversity without any legislative debate.
indystar.com/story/news/politi

"Over the course of 36 hours at the tail end of the three-month legislative session, Indiana lawmakers made significant policy changes that fundamentally alter how state universities conduct themselves. These changes ― among them, giving Gov. Mike Braun sole appointing power over Indiana University's board of trustees, subjecting tenured faculty to "productivity" quotas that could lead to termination, dissolving the decision-making power of faculty governance organizations ― were never the subject of a filed bill or amendment and saw no opportunity for public testimony."

In Indiana, the governor is Republican and both chambers of the legislature are controlled by Republicans.
