Foxcliff North considers incorporation
McCullough Tuesday, May 14, 2013: 9:57 pm	What a joke. Short sighted, knee jerk reaction to a false rumor. Let's add another layer of government where it is not needed.

Mayfield bill draws national attention
McCullough Sunday, February 10, 2013: 8:08 pm	"Legal problems aide, the legislation, which received a hearing in a House committee on Wednesday, sends a wrongheaded message to out-of-state students that they're not truly welcome in Indiana. That's a signal that a state trying desperately to improve the education level of its workforce can't afford to broadcast."

Mayfield bill draws national attention

Military members are able to vote where they are stationed if they register to vote in that precinct. There is no requirement that they vote absentee in their home state. Second, college students live, often work, and always pay local and state taxes when they move to Indiana to attend school. Not to mention they pay the state a considerable amount in the way of out-of-state tuition. For the 4 or more years they reside here they are subject to the privileges and penalties of Indiana state and local laws.

Mayfield bill draws national attention

This is a losing issue for Ms. Mayfield & the tea baggers. "Unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unjustifiable. On its face HB 1311 violates the US Constitution. By treating out-of-state student residency differently, this bill defies the ruling in Symm v. United States. Indiana does not have a pressing problem with voter fraud. However, Indiana does have an 8.2% unemployment rate and an education system that ranks 22nd in the nation. As such, this attempt to disenfranchise college students is shamefully unnecessary. Finally, this bill is about nothing more than partisan politics. Rather than make inroads with younger voters, Republicans would rather strip them of their sacred right to vote. And for that, HB 1311 is wholly unjustifiable. This is something voters should never forget."

Council approves annexation plan
McCullough Monday, August 6, 2012: 9:06 pm	Thank you City Council for giving Martinsville a chance to have some control over I69! Martinsville has finally laid the groundwork for Its future economic development that gives the City a chance to make I69 an opportunity rather than a detriment! Bravo Councilmen! The opponents will remonstrate but to no avail!
