Good morning. It's Thursday, September 28th. Five minutes after 11. It's Kendall and Casey on 93 WIBC.

And coming up, we're going to get to more debate stuff. But first, the auditor of the state, Tara Clutz, whose operating title was recently changed, has submitted her resignation to Governor Holcomb.

They don't even hide it anymore, Casey. These people are gross. And they think so

little of you. And this is the danger. See, when we talk about if you vote red, no matter what,

because well, we can't have a Democrat in there. Something really bad might happen. This is what we talk about when we say you cannot do that because these people use and abuse you.

And they are so arrogant about this now.

They don't even hide it anymore.

And what I'm talking about is these establishment stooges of which Tara Clutz is one,

just like Connie Lawson before her in the Secretary of State's position, is one, quitting in the

middle of their term, not for any sort of serious undisclosed or a disclosed health reason or I'm on death's door or, you know, some emergency that I must tend to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

They quit in the middle of their term so that the governor can appoint a hand-picked preferred, liked stooge to have a giant head start for the next two years in running for re-election.

Okay, so she's been in this position for 20 years, and she says that it's been challenging, rewarding, and the opportunity of a lifetime.

It's allowed her to travel the state and meet many Hoosiers, but she is excited about her next chapter,

which means spending more time with family and friends and returning to a career in the private sector.

Okay, so but think about this, Casey.

She was just reelected in 2022. Last year,

she just started, she just started her new term. So if you were a person who was like,

great example, Casey, we all know, our audience knows there was a point in my life where I was ready to be a state senator.

And I had hundreds of people ready to go storm the Bastille. And you know what? I woke up one day and I said before I decided to run, I'm not sure I want to do this for four years.

I'm not sure I want to put 24 hours a day, seven days a week into this. Going back to radio sounds kind of fun. And if I'm not 100% committed to doing this 24 hours a day, seven days a week on behalf of the people who elect me, I can not in good faith even start the process. And so what they do? I didn't run. Right. So what you're, that she should have made this decision before? We're not even a year into this term, Casey. You'd think if you had some itch to get back into the private sector. Yeah. You probably would have scratched that before you ran for re-election. But here's what happens. And she is going to an undisclosed location in the private sector according to Nikki

Kelly. So again, not ill, not some family thing she has to take care of. She is going to be making

a boatload of bucks wherever she decides to go. Somebody called her and said, hey. So she wins
