Happy 95th Birthday, Governor O'Bannon! |
|
While you are no longer with us, your legacy lives on. We ask that you please review this short list of the accomplishments of former Governor Frank O'Bannon (1997-2003). - Last Democrat elected as Governor of Indiana.
- More than 25,000 students and visitors watched as he became the first governor of the 21st century, making it the largest gubernatorial inauguration crowd in Indiana history.
- He created Building Bright Beginnings to emphasize the importance of emotional and brain development of children from birth to 4 years of age.
- Under his leadership, Hoosier Healthwise provided health care to nearly 500,000 children who did not have insurance, making Indiana a national leader.
- He formed the bipartisan Education Roundtable, which tackled the most intractable problems facing public schools, making Indiana one of the first states to meet new federal education standards.
- Before anyone ever talked about the issue, he restructured the state’s tax system, making it more conducive to job creation, and extended $1 billion in property tax relief to homeowners.
- He persuaded the legislature to pass Energize Indiana, a comprehensive economic development package that took advantage of Indiana’s economic promise in four high-tech sectors: the life sciences, advanced manufacturing, information technology and distribution.
- Unlike any other governor in the nation, took steps to mitigate a serious budget deficit and addressed long-term ways to improve the economy.
- He created Ivy Tech, the state’s first Community College system, providing a higher education alternative for Hoosiers for whom a four-year college was not a good fit.
- He moved people with developmental disabilities from state institutions to less-restrictive community settings.
- Frank O'Bannon created the state’s first public access counselor to help citizens get government information.
- Finally, Frank O’Bannon was the first Indiana governor to have a computer on his desk and used the Internet and e-mail long before that became routine.
When people doubt that Democrats can win and lead Indiana, never forget Governor Frank O'Bannon. Your friends at the Winston/Terrell Group

Jim Banks wants to defund the police
As Banks showed, Republicans are not going to be deferential to police chiefs or even union heads. As long as the police are here to protect and serve MAGA, then Republicans will still #backtheblue. But, if police try to operate independently from the Trump agenda, Banks stands ready to defund them.

Musk’s South African White Male Fragility
Well, an important historical note — that USAID helped end Apartheid — sheds new light on Elon’s relentless and soulless attack on USAID. During Apartheid, Black South Africans were robbed of human rights and political power.
