Episode 414 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell and Bones Harcourt are your hosts. Zach Burcham is working as your producer. Retired State Representative Tom Saunders joins us with his thoughts on the mid cycle redistricting proposal. Tom was involved in two redistricting processes in his more than 20 years in the General Assembly. Former Governor Daniels has come out asking Indiana to not redistrict. Multiple visits by Vice President Vance, and a trip to Washington for most of the GOP members have put immense pressure on the members.

Finally, we discuss the recent demolition of the East Wing of the White House and the new Ballroom that President Trump is erecting in its place.

Jeremiah Morrell and Bones Harcourt are your hosts. Zach Burcham is working as your producer. City Council members Chad Malicoat and Shannon Thom are our guests. This is the first budget since the general assembly revamped the property tax system. How much does it change the county budget? And will property taxes actually reduce? Henry County has two big ticket issues ahead. Will the Juvenile Detention Center be re-opened? If a data center is located in Henry County, what would that do for the county budget? This week news broke about New Castle not pursuing Community Crossings money for roads this cycle. Communities are allowed to partner together, the hosts ask if it's possible to have Henry County provide matching dollars so that the available dollars could come into the community. Perhaps finally pave the roads inside Memorial Park, as they are not in the county, city, or state inventory.

Episode 409 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! This week Jeremiah Morrell, Betsy Mills, and Zach Burcham are your host voices. This is the return of Henry County Sheriff John Sproles. Conversation about departmental chances since he took over. How culture has changed, more ranks have been established and officer pay has increased.

In 2021 the County opened a new jail and almost immediately it was at capacity. Since that time the jail population has reduced about 40% and there isn't talk about expansion. Of the 180+ inmates in the facility, only 18 are sentenced. The rest are awaiting trial. Really good conversation around how they have worked to improve the speed of the system. Other topics include navigating local politics, and the interaction of local town marshall offices and the reputation for “badge factories”.A great long form conversation that explores some parts of the criminal justice system that get forgotten.
