Good morning. It is Friday, April 28th. It is seven minutes after nine. And you're listening to Kendel and Casey on

0:06.0

night B3 W I B C. So when I say that it happened in the middle of the night under the cover of darkness, I'm not

0:12.1

exaggerating. That's exactly when the Indiana legislature passed the $44 billion budget.

0:20.1

Our lawmakers and our governor are a joke at a disgrace. They go out of their way to be as anti-transparent as

0:29.9

possible. They clearly took transparency classes from the Brownsburg Police Department and Brownsburg Community School

0:36.6

Corporation, which we'll get into here in just a little bit. No, you're absolutely right. After they signed off on the

0:44.6

session, a flurry of very important things happened like that. Yeah. After midnight, when no one's up, other than the

0:54.7

reporters who did a fine job, and we're going to have Nikki Kelly coming up here in a little bit from Indiana

0:59.7

Capitol Chronicle to tell us the scams and you know, shraids that those guys pulled last night. But they made major

1:10.3

changes to major issues. And I guarantee you Casey that didn't have a chance to read it all Mike Young, who is a

1:17.7

1:32.5

governor because he's signing the stuff, passing things, major important things from school funding to property tax

1:42.3

stuff. They have no idea what they voted on. If you if you hook those guys, the 97% of them up to a lie detector test right now, there's

1:52.6

no way they'd pass it if you asked him if they read it and understood it. Yeah. They wanted to get the hell out of

1:57.5

there. There wasn't time. They wanted to not come back today. And let's face it. These people aren't all that

2:05.2

bright to begin with. And I just want to touch on one thing and we're going to go into this with Nikki Kelly about

2:12.3

how pathetic these people are and what a bunch of pathological liars these people are and how they just make it up as they go along.

2:19.0

Will you just bear with me for one second floor is yours. So last year, you may remember when the general assembly decided to gift

2:26.1

us with $200 of the $1,500 that they were sitting on of of ours. And many of us, including the Democrats at the time, it told the

2:36.5

Republicans, Hey, you should probably just suspend the gas tax because that would do the most good for the most people. And I had the grave

misfortune and made the grave mistake of having a roughly 20 minute conversation with my state representative, Jeff Thompson, who is now the head of
