DEMOCRATS LOSE ANOTHER ARROW FROM THEIR QUIVER

We’ve heard quite a few excuses from Democrats about why they won’t support Kernan-Shepard reforms. From not being able to do two things at once to no real cost savings. The latter excuse was debunked Monday with the release of a Ball State study outlining the $622 million savings.

Now, Democrats have lost another club from their golf bag of excuses: the idea that they don’t want to take elected offices away from the people.

Democrats voted unanimously yesterday in committee for a Constitutional amendment to combine the offices of the state Auditor and Treasurer.

If we can take away a statewide elected official away from the voters, we better not hear anything about ruining democracy by getting rid of a county recorder, coroner or surveyor.
