Earlier this year, our state suspended two of its gas taxes. As of Oct. 2, this has made Indiana's gas prices the lowest in the country. However, Indiana farmers and our agriculture industry are still suffering due to the skyrocketing cost of diesel fuel. As a farmer and the senator for a largely rural district, I am experiencing this firsthand.
One of the most basic and important duties of government is to keep us safe. And yet, Indiana is among the minority of states that still allows nearly all accused criminals to post bail, even if there is compelling evidence the defendant poses a significant threat to the public.
