I would love to see a state sponsored drive to provide every Hoosier with valid ID and registration to vote, along with adequate notice and time off of work for elections.
Local communities should have primacy on land use that affects them unless it affects multiple communities in which case the county or state should step in the issue encompasses larger areas. Larger governments should have to provide reasons and compensation if they need local land for anything, if there are exceptions to this it is only for environmental conservation and promotion of sustainable energy sources.
Public schools are not adequately funded. Millions of dollars each year go towards private schools, money which is taken out of public school funding. Private schools do not benefit the average Hoosier and they do not provide meaningful increases to the state economy. They have to go and more funding needs to be provided to public schools besides.
In theory I love the idea of direct action from concerned citizens to enforce change for the good of their communities. In practice in Indiana, I feel that it would be difficult to reach every voter and inform each of them sufficiently on the issue. The best way to do so currently would likely be a letter explaining it to each person, however how do you differentiate the letter and explain that it is not simply more junk?
