ICYMI | WSJ Opinion: Braun Resists The Democratic Ban On State Tax Cuts.

Braun For The States
A GOP Senator resists the Democratic ban on state tax cuts.
The Wall Street Journal
The Editorial Board
https://www.wsj.com/articles/braun-for-the-states-11615592241

The Democratic sneak attack on states that run sound fiscal policies is finding a note of resistance. Indiana Senator Mike Braun read our editorial this week and has introduced legislation that would remove the language that Democrats put into their $1.9 trillion spending bill at the last minute to ban state tax cuts through 2024.

“Democrats are trying to ban states from cutting taxes with a sneaky amendment to the $1.9 trillion so-called COVID relief package,” said Mr. Braun in a press release Thursday. “Not only did this blue state bailout bill penalize states for reopening by calculating state funds based on unemployment, now they are trying to use it as a back door to ban states from cutting taxes. My bill would make sure they don’t get away with it.”

National Democrats used their spending bill to give more money to states, largely Democratic, that locked down their economies the longest. Then they told states with better economies that they can’t cut taxes if they also accept their share of the $1.9 trillion.

This is a great issue for Republicans. Washington imperialism won’t go over well in many states, and GOP Governors and Senators ought to make voters aware that the Biden-Pelosi Democrats want to run their states too.

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Tennis (1-4) dropped a home contest to Tiffin (Ohio) University (7-2) earlier this afternoon at Wesselman Park.

DOUBLES: The freshmen combination of Lauren Rowe and Rachel McCorkle fought their way to grab four games in the No. 1 doubles before falling in the match, 6-4. Sophomore Chloe McIsaac and Junior Lauryn Thompson also battled to earn four wins before dropping the No. 2 match, surrendering the doubles point to the Dragons.

SINGLES: Rowe had a resounding first victory and first point for the Screaming Eagles discarding her opponent in straight sets, 6-1, 6-0 in the No. 2 singles match. Then, Junior Kylie Skepnek picked up the other win on the afternoon for the Eagles in a tiebreaker, 2-6, 7-6, 10-6.

Up Next: The Eagles will look to put this one behind them and head to Quincy University for a match with the Hawks on Saturday March 20.

HOOSIER HISTORY: President Lincoln Presents A Battle Flag To Governor Morton

0

March 14 – March 20

The Week in Indiana History
Lincoln

1865     President Abraham Lincoln presented Indiana Governor Oliver P. Morton with a Confederate Battle Flag.  It had been captured by the Indiana 140th Regiment at Fort Anderson, North Carolina.  The ceremony took place at the National Hotel in Washington, D. C.  The band played “Hail to the Chief” as the President entered the room.  Several Union officers from Indiana accompanied the Governor.  Lincoln’s last-minute decision to attend the event disappointed John Wilkes Booth.  For details, see “Did You Know?” in the right column.
statehouse1877     The Indiana Legislature authorized $2,000,000 for the construction of a new State House.  The new structure would replace the existing building (pictured) in Indianapolis.  Governor James D. Williams began the job of appointing commissioners for the project.  According to the Indianapolis Daily News, the new State House was “the hearty desire of fully nine-tenths of the people of the state.”
fire1890     Fire destroyed the Bowen-Merrill bookstore on West Washington Street in Indianapolis. What began as a small blaze became an inferno when all flour floors of the frame building collapsed, trapping many firemen.  Thirteen died in the disaster.  It was the deadliest fire in history for city firefighters.
Valentino1923     Movie Actor Rudolph Valentino was married to actress Winifred Hudnut in the office of the Justice of the Peace in Crown Point, Indiana.  According to the press, they arrived there after “leading newspapermen on a merry chase since they left the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago.”  The happy couple “rambled up and down the main street, hunting souvenir postal cards and dining in a little country restaurant.”
bb1962     The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame was launched with a dinner in the Riley Room of the Claypool Hotel in Indianapolis. The first inductees were John R. Wooden, Robert P. “Fuzzy” Vandivier, Homer Stonebraker, Ernest B. “Griz” Wagner, and Ward “Piggy” Lambert.  The first annual Silver Medallion was awarded to William F. Fox, sports editor of the Indianapolis News.  He had covered high school basketball since 1925.

MARCH IS WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

2001     79-year-old Margaret Ray Ringenberg piloted a plane in an international air race from London to Sydney, Australia.  It was just the latest in many adventures for the aviator who grew up on a farm in Allen County.  During World War II, as a WASP (Women’s Airforce Service Pilot,) she flew all types of military aircraft.   After the war, she was a commercial pilot and flight instructor.  An active participant in air races around the world, she won more than 150 trophies.  She was the subject of an entire chapter in Tom Brokaw’s book TheGreatest Generation.

Hoosier Quote of the Week

 quote

“I had all these wonderful experiences – opportunities have come my way.  And now, when somebody gets up to introduce me, I don’t feel like I’m the person that they are talking about.  I’m just the lady next door.”

– – – Margaret Ray Ringenberg (1921-2008)

Did You Know?

    It was March 17, 1865.  John Wilkes Booth had been devising plans to kidnap President Abraham Lincoln and hold him in exchange for Confederate soldiers locked up in Union prisons.  Booth had received word that the President that afternoon was going to attend the play, “Still Waters Run Deep.”  It was being staged at Campbell Hospital near the Old Soldiers’ Home on the Seventh Street Road on the outskirts of Washington.  The road ran through an isolated area, perfect for carrying out the kidnap plot.    Booth quickly decided to act.  He and three fellow conspirators saddled up and rode out to a lonely spot along the road.  Another man was to bring Booth’s carriage,  loaded with weapons.  Their plans were well-founded.    Lincoln, indeed, had planned to attend the play.  However, at the last minute, he had decided to go to the National Hotel to present a  battle flag to Indiana Governor Morton.  Booth and his men waited in vain. The Presidential carriage did not come down the road that day.
