Summary
Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales had a rough go of it in his recent appearance before House Ways and Means. There to ask for more money from the taxpayers, some on the committee didn't seem impressed. That included longtime Democrat Representative Ed DeLaney, who took Morales to task over hiring a family member and no-bid contracts. Rob Kendall, Jim Merritt, and Abdul-Hakim Shabazz discuss Diego's rotten day on this week's Statehouse Happenings.
