Is it time in Indiana to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of cannabis? What ‘is’ the current attitude of state legislators toward the longstanding ban on pot? We’ll take up the issue on the next Indiana Lawmakers.

On the next “Indiana Lawmakers” we examine whether the legislature should ban state investments made on the basis of fostering environmental, social, or governance (ESG) goals, and instead focus only on the express fiduciary duty to maximize returns?

On the next “Indiana Lawmakers”, should Hoosiers seeking election to a local public-school board be forced to run as Republicans, Democrats, or Independents? Or should our state do everything possible to keep partisan politics out of our schools?

On the next Indiana Lawmakers, we welcome Governor Eric Holcomb. Host Jon Schwantes will discuss the governor’s 2023 agenda. Some of those proposals include increased funding for education, economic development, and public health.
