So we always hear how great Indiana is for business.

But a friend of our show says that we may not be as great as we are led to believe.

Yeah, Nikki Kelly from the Indiana Capital Chronicle put out an opinion piece.

And it says, is Indiana's business climate losing traction?

And in 2025, Indiana dropped from fifth to 12th place in area development.

Now, Nick, you'll be with us on Thursday, so we'll get into this with her a little bit more.

But what's fascinating to me is, so this article talks about these different mayors and they're talking

about encounters that they have and these developers they work with I don't think being a good

state for economic development I don't like I don't think just simply giving something to someone

makes you a good state because you're taking it from someone else. Right. So it's not a flex, really. And so much of what we've done in Indiana

and the IEDC audit has proven this. Now, you can't really get any Republicans to comment on that.

By the way, isn't it wild that Braun becomes Johnny Tough guy on Mark Sanchez, but on the IEDC audit showing hundreds of millions of dollars and what essentially is waste, fraud, and abuse?

Just really, we're moving on from that.

Yeah, we're going to put processes in place and nothing to see here.

We're done with this.

He's a real badass on Ryan Mears and the Mark Sanchez stuff.

And by the way, he was a wrong badass, basically.

I mean, you know, he's right about the condition of the city.

But let's face it, he was trying to score points off the Mark Sanchez thing.

And he ended up playing the fool.

But not a word, nothing certainly in comparison to that on this IED C-Sysup. Do you think part of that is because Braun is saying, you know, well, that was before my time. So now I know where we were. Now we're going to fix it to move forward. No, I think it's because the money that has flowed in and out touches so many of these politicians.

It's the same reason they won't touch Diego Morales, the Secretary of State.
