Diesel is almost $7 but Gov. Mike Braun doesn’t think those drivers deserve relief. My column today. indianacapitalchronicle.com/…

Commentary: Hoosiers using diesel receive no relief from tax suspensions • Indiana Capital Chronicle

Our daughter called last week, and she was absolutely beside herself. She had just topped off her diesel-powered VW Jetta. It cost $42 for not even half a tank.

This story could be SO much simpler, clearer and informative. Three suggestions…. chalkbeat.org/indiana/2026/0…

Will IPS and charters be treated equally in lawmakers’ plan to overhaul Indianapolis schools?

In a looming shakeup of Indianapolis schools, charters could have a long-term advantage. But the size of that advantage could depend on decisions by a new public corporation lawmakers are poised to...

As the conversation around HB 1423 continues, here's the deal: The notion that IPS' financial crisis should be solved off the backs of charter students is ludicrous. Indy charters do more with less, resulting in the highest ROI in the country. Much to learn from their success.

From faith & non-profit leaders across Indiana, to professionals from Eli Lilly, to outstanding Hoosier women in the Lugar Series...today was filled with opportunities to collaborate and learn from so many local Hoosiers who are raising their hand to make it better for students!

Top Democrat and Republican agree: An independent facilities and transportation authority should serve all public school students within IPS. Indy is on the cusp of a nationally unique innovation that would serve the interests of kids, not the status quo. indystar.com/story/news/educ…

IPS buses, buildings could be controlled by same entity that oversees charter school resources

State and city leaders are backing a proposal to create a separate authority to manage transportation and facilities for all IPS and charter schools.

THIS is leadership. 🔥 “Doing nothing is not an option. We have to do something. This is the moment that we’re in and true leadership requires us to take a position.” mirrorindy.org/ips-indianapo…

Lawmaker warns IPS: Propose changes or the state will do it for you

Rep. Bob Behning says a transportation authority could be a path forward

"In Indiana, state education dollars follow public school students to the schools of their choice. Local funding, however, does not. SB 518 does several things to address that disparity while simultaneously ensuring a thoughtful transition for districts." ibj.com/articles/brandon-bro…
