  • We are a nation of Settlers, not immigrants. Green Cards in our township schools, our tax dollars.

    Someone needs to wake up there and take out the illegals. Regardless of green cards. They are ruining our schools and taking from our tax dollars. Green Cards over Americans. We are being taken over. Take the green card workers out of the schools? Save American workers.

Post Election Perspective - House Dem Leader Phil GiaQuinta
Q: How much do you think Donald Trump and redistricting played and you folks' victory?
GiaQuinta said Trump's tariffs contributed to higher fuel and other prices, and that his actions and statements affected the result. He added that voters objected to redistricting being tied to Washington, D.C., and to pressure from outside the state.
Post Election Perspective - House Dem Leader Phil GiaQuinta
Q: Do you think Senate Bill 1 sort of had the reverse effect in trying to provide proper tax relief, took money from schools, local governments and sort of had the reverse effect?
GiaQuinta agreed, saying some voters saw little tax relief while expecting their schools and local governments to lose funding for services such as police and fire protection.
Post-Election Perspective - Lindsey Shipps
Q: What do you think this means for the governor's office? For Mike Braun, do you think there will still be that announcement?
Shipps expects Mike Braun to announce a reelection bid, but says the election results leave him with decisions to make. She also notes that Libertarians may fall short of the threshold needed to nominate candidates by convention, while legislative committee changes will require more negotiation over votes.
