Q12 Should lawmakers have mandated any new money for k-12
education go towards increasing teacher pay?
TOTAL 413
1 Increase pay for teachers but DO NOT RAISE TAXES. Taxation should be as minimal as possible.
Legalize cannabis and you’ll have tax money to put towards paying teachers more and other stuff.
5/9/2019 6:27 PM
2 They should be transparrent on where current funds are going. 5/8/2019 9:15 AM
3 They need to find out where all the money that has been collected for "education" is going. They
have plenty of money to pay teachers, they just don't want to.
5/8/2019 7:38 AM
4 Raise the minimum wage first 5/8/2019 4:15 AM
5 I think we need to make it easier for one parents to stay home by shrinking public schools and
paying parents to stay home. Parents then would use a national home schooling system to
educate their kids with the biggest schools staying open for parents that still want brick and mortar
schools. Also for sports and other clubs for kids

2 Change for a better society as a whole state, and ridding anyone who doesn't 'believe in' legalizing
marijuana at this point at least to a medical level. Need to be replaced with a open minded that can
see past their own egotistical views of still saying it's not worth legalizing after the thousands of
studies that have proven otherwise. And for state regulation...simply look to and communicate with
Colorado State. Having experiences the in point a s benefits galore that state takes from just the
medical legalization even before the recreational change...no bad roads and the school system
there alone is one of the very best systems you can proudly send your younger one's to even. And
all the expense paid rehabilitation centers and groups for those that truly NEED addiction
recovery, from drugs out that including pharmaceuticals alone, which mind you are Ifact
government approved to take and abused daily...those are all TRUE BENEFITS that come
something as citizen helping and life saving to economy and onward positive outcomes.

3 I am back home after 13 years and am appalled by the state of this city. Very sad, indeed 5/11/2019 12:35 PM
4 If the minimum wage was increased perhaps some of the crimes people commit for money would
decrease. $7.25 an hour is unacceptable and impossible to live off of. The cost living goes up but
the minimum wage does not even closely meet the cost of living. Also, there should be free
classes for laid off workers pursuing degrees in fields where there is a strong demand such as
nursing. Why should a laid off worker have to keep pursuing jobs in their current field that
continues to lay off workers because companies are sending such jobs overseas. Until companies
stop sending jobs overseas in fields like IT, having training or an education in IT is not a field that
guarantees long term stable employment. Stop companies from sending jobs overseas for cheap
labor.

10 Cannabis needs to be legalized, Indiana has been making a huge mistake waiting. This is costing
the state millions of jobs, billions of dollars, it’s costing us opportunities to improve our state as a
whole. The gun control bills should have never been submitted as well, we need more gun rights
not less. Work on making Indiana a “second amendment sanctuary state” and legalize cannabis
for medical and recreational use. The fact that we haven’t yet goes against all data we have on
legalization and has caused many senseless deaths. Personally, myself and many others have
thought about leaving this state due to their cannabis policies and their increasingly restrictive gun
bills. Constitutional carry is another thing we need. Listen to the people, I have been an activist in
my area for quite some time and everything I have stated has factual support as well as the
support of the people.

11 Vote Holcomb out. 5/9/2019 5:38 PM
12 There is no reason for marijuana to be illegal. We the citizens know that it is only still illegal
because Eli Lilly is lobbying. The government does not have the well being of the people in mind. If
we legalized marijuana, so much tax revenue could be brought in that we would be able to fix
problems such as the surplus amount of potholes, low teacher pay, and more.

22 I could care less about the state of indiana. Politicians are always talking about how broke we are
as a state, and the opiate epidemic currently hitting the U.S.. Cannabis can generate millions, if
not billions of dollers. Not to mention take out hard drugs, and the war on drugs. ANNNND our
unemployment rate would go down. It would make thousands of job opportunities. Think Indiana,
legalize cannabis before this states beyond saving

nation, we’ve got literal Nazi graffiti being done, we’re a prohibition state in a SEA of legal to some
degree cannabis, we are the literal meth capital of the nation and those in power are SITTING on
a TWO BILLION DOLLAR surplus...like some fat hoarding mythological dragon on its treasure?!
THIS is why our youth is leaving this state as soon as they can & never coming back. It’s
time to take the garbage out.

27 Why did indiana make hemp flower illegal? Hemp flower is federally legal. Obviously there are
plenty of our lawmakers cashing large checks in agreement to keep cannabis in almost all forms
illegal. On top of that, not even bothering to hear about medical marijuana legalization. We are
being surrounded by legal states; Michigan will be recreational by the end of the year, Illinois
Governor is playing a role in increasing the diversity of hands in the economical pot of cannabis so
the rich do not continue to be more rich while others in small towns cannot even eat, Ohio is
expanding their medical program further. And how about the opioid epidemic which Indiana is the
center of? I continue to see friends and family lose their lives due to prescription drug abuse and
our law makers think that’s perfectly safe but cannabis is harmful? Cannabis has proven to have
neuroprotective properties which correlate with fighting substance abuse. Hoosiers and Americans
deserve better and for our lawmakers to collect checks from Lilly is absolutely disgusting.
Lawmakers are not thinking or acting truly of the people they are supposedly to be representing.
Want to have a nice car, nice house, nice boat, nice school for your kids?? Work with the people
not with corporations writing checks to shut you up. Finding a great legislation to put into place
that regulates the sales and prescriptions of medical cannabis. Work with the owners of
pharmaceutical grade CBD stores all over the state that can help guide what the people are
looking for and needing. I also want to mention how awful our child protective services are in
Indiana. Too many kids are being starved and if there were not programs for school meals they
would die. And what about druggy parents selling food stamps for meth? That’s not under our
lawmakers control but I can tell you what is.... child protective services, school districts, drug
abuse programs. Drug abuse programs in Indiana are garbage. From personal experience, I could
not find an inpatient program for a family member who is an alcoholic. Not only that, his doctor
prescribed him two different anxiety medications which blatantly shouldn’t be used together nor
use with alcohol, after calling the doctor and speaking with nurses that he does not need any
medications because he will just abuse them or take them while he is drinking alcohol. The man
drank with the meds and ended up blacking out with a result of arrest due to invasion of privacy
but very well could have ended much worse. Has any lawmaker reading this ever experienced
trying to help a loved one with an addiction? Obviously not because we legalize Sunday alcohol
sales (last session) over hemp flower (latest session) which has absolutely zero addictive
properties but hundreds, maybe thousands of beneficial health properties. Get your head in the
right place, lawmakers!! You work for the people, not the other way around! Soon enough
recreational cannabis will be flooding our state from the north and will have no choice but to
legalize or lose billions of dollars in tax revenue. Wonder what we could do with that tax revenue?
Let’s use Colorado as an example and put that money on our teachers paychecks, fixing the
roads, funding our child protective programs, and creating state funded substance abuse
programs.

this state my family will be moving to a state that is cannabis friendly.

world really...

those in need, and the financial gain the state is losing are quite troubling to me.

44 I think it's bullshit that you will make it legal for alcoholics to drive drunk to get more alcohol on an
extra day off the week (Sunday), push to give gambling addicted another venue to throw their lives
away (Terre Haute), but won't legalize one of the safest drugs out there (marijuana) for our great
state. The revenue for that one legalization will keep crime down. The other two just invite more in.
Marijuana revenue would generate enough income to pay our teachers to educate our kids
properly. It would also help fix our roads, feed our homeless, create jobs, etc. Wake up! That's the
easiest way I can put this. Common sense. Give Hoosiers what they want already. We're not your
sheep...

52 CPS needs re-formed. I’ve personally watched them drop cases against a neglectful mother over
& over again. We need to provide better care for them to properly do their job. To help them we
need to address the drug epidemic in Indiana with REAL solutions to the probably. I see legalizing
medical marijuana as a step toward that. Revenue can be used to fund better programs and give
law enforcement more funds to crack down dealers/manufacturers vs users. Lastly, the roads. We
keep being taxed to fix them but yet our infrastructure continues to crumble. I live in a rural part of
the state & some of the roads I avoid because they’re so bad. Indiana is a beautiful state, we need
to start taking better care of it & it’s citizens.
5/7/2019 10:42 PM
54 Marijuana laws need changed. This is something that would benefit our state greatly. Wipe clean
people's previous marijuana records. Use the tax revenue to pay our law enforcement better.
Teachers, infrastructure, homeless, substance abuse, we can help all these areas and more. I feel
this is one subject matter that both parties voters can agree on in large majority. Something that
could bring us all together finally.

58 I want to see some serious talk about medical and recreational marijuana. All the states around us
are moving toward it and there is no talk of it here. Many are moving out of Indiana to other legal
states. We should be free to make decisions about cannabis ourselves. I push Mr.Trump to get it
legal on the federal level. My county has the highest lung cancer rates in all of the state and I will
guarantee you that it is not because more people smoke in the county. Something else needs to
be investigated but no one has answers. Yet I just met a lady today who has basically put her lung
cancer in remission because of cannabis treatment. Who wouldn’t want that for the people they
serve. I work in the medical field specializing in lungs, please look into this. Put it on a ballot!!!!!!

the rich.

and get some people who care about what the people want and not what benefits the parties and
their pockets.

and the governor works for us not the other way around. We as adults should have a choice of
what we want passed not discussed behind closed doors. I will not be voting for Eric Holcome next
election as many many many others isnt either. Hope he enjoyed his time and fat pockets in
power. Good bye former govonor Holcome

73 Primary turnout is low because local media painted the primary like there were no choices
available. What a huge disservice to their customers.

74 I've lived in Indianapolis for about 2 years. I moved here from Michigan. It is shocking coming from
an adjacent state just how behind the times Indiana is compared to its neighbors. The growth and
prosperity of Indiana and Hoosiers is stunted by people who want to keep Indiana in the past,
despite the rhetoric about moving toward the future.
5/7/2019 10:13 AM
75 It should be up to the local school boards to decide teacher pay and not the state. It is time to keep
local issues local.

76 Crime is also a concern in Indianapolis 5/7/2019 6:34 AM
77 The poor conditions of our roads and bridges is primarily a states funding issue - not Mayor Joe's
fault. The blame should fall at the feet of the Indiana General Assembly and the super-majority
leaders, including especially Bosma and Merritt. They are both even from Indy, and still they've
allowed the state to underfund Marion County's roads for years - its disgraceful. For Merritt to now
blame the potholes on Joe is the biggest hypocritical move I've seen in politics for years. I find
most of the Statehouse R's disgusting (save J. Ruckelshaus). Merritt's mayoral campaign is a joke.

78 Leadership lacking in the city government 5/6/2019 11:01 AM
79 I don't think caucus is the problem with the legislature I think the problem with lack of transparency
stems from many committees moving to hearing a bill one week and then doing amend and vote
only on it the second week and allowing no testimony on the amendments -- saw several times
where the bill was completely or dramatically changed this session with no opportunity for public
testimony. This is where the concern should lie. Also, with Republican supermajorities -- this
legislature and Governor are too timid and not doing big, bold transformational changes.

80 There is a lot of Indiana "outside 465". 5/3/2019 9:48 AM
39 / 42

81 As we mourn the passing of a great leader and visionary former mayor, it is depressing to think
how Indy is currently deteriorating under Mayor Hogsett. What's wrong? Let me count the ways:
Violent crime, in particular, gun violence, is way up. Trash, litter and illegal dumping makes the city
look awful. Response to pothole crisis has not been nearly enough. I have always been proud to
bring guests downtown. Now, I am embarrassed.

82 Messmer is positioning for Brays job. It is my hope that the blowjob of a bill the gaming legislation
was will be investigated. $100m to $5m with a 40m tax credit was ridiculous. Smh
5/1/2019 8:54 PM
83 Let's get the sportsbooks open! 5/1/2019 2:30 PM
84 Would give the Governor a grade higher than 'C', but he keeps moving the goal posts on issues
(e.g. bias crimes), and is unwilling to use the "power" that comes with 206 to achieve goals initially
set at the start of session.
5/1/2019 1:52 PM
85 Consolidation of the 3 remaining Township Fire Departments should occur and also the
elimination of Township Government in Marion County!!
5/1/2019 8:44 AM
86 This survey is brutally flawed. No reason not to have at least a top three agenda items. These
lawmakers are professionals, whether anyone wants to admit that or not, and should be able to
churn out more than one significant piece of legislation per session. The budget is always going to
be most important, but there's no reason under the sun that gaming, teacher pay, and marijuana
legislation should not have moved into this decade. And oh by the way, I was recently in Utah
(yes, Utah), where I bought cold beer in a gas station. Sure, it by law had to be carried out in a
bag, so as to not offend any paying Mormons (I guess?), but still, I bought cold beer. In a gas
station. In Utah. Just let that sink in for a minute.

87 It is a joke to have called this a historic session for education - certainly not public education.
Without holding virtual schools and charters accountable, it is a farce to have given them more
money than traditional schools.
4/30/2019 9:07 PM
88 My biggest concern is the consistent and intentional weakening of public schools. While school
choice sounds good and fair, it is not worth the funds it takes away from public education. Public
schools are the bedrock of our democracy. As a Republican with a minority opinion on school
choice, I am frustrated at my party's stance.
4/30/2019 6:36 PM
89 Indiana needs to progress on some things like cannabis, gambling, and infrastructure spending.. I
like how smart we are with the Budget but we could spend some or give it back to the tax payer

90 Veterans issues were not addressed adequately in this year's GA. 4/30/2019 12:34 PM
91 Stop giving away corporate tax incentives, negotiate better health care insurance rates, and
support the middle working class, NOT the top 1% and corporate interests. STOP coddling fossil
fuel cos.! Get on board the alternative energy train. And speaking of train, the STATE needs to be
better connected. Why not hi-speed light rail to Chicago, Ft. Wayne, South Bend, Evansville,
Lafayette?

92 I’m a Jim Merritt fan 4/30/2019 10:36 AM
93 Although I do not live in Indianapolis it is the driver for the success of our surrounding counties.
Roads and homelessness/panhandlers are both serious that need to be addressed for us to
continue to be a region that attracts businesses, jobs, conventions and tourism
4/30/2019 9:47 AM
94 Cant really say the country is on the right track, when congress will not do any, ANY work. The
dems have been a joke and Paul Ryan a roadblock. A shameful sight.
4/30/2019 9:38 AM
95 We live in a sad time so many hurting so many abused so many Raped and molested un-reported
among us. Rape kits shelved. Attorney General That is a Disappointment to His Race Gender
profession.

96 Indiana Republicans need a populist wave. 4/30/2019 8:53 AM
97 Joe Hogsett is a politician not an CEO. I would vote for a democrat if they had experience running
a successful organization. I am concerned that Jim Merritt does not have those skills either. Roads
suck, permits and compliance suck, homeless solution is a joke, city council is camp runamok.
4/30/2019 8:39 AM
98 On question 19, re: most important question facing Indianapolis, I answered roads, but I also think
that crime is right up there at the top with roads.

99 We need more “Lugarers” and less “Trumpers” in government. 4/30/2019 8:19 AM
40 / 42

100 The Indiana GOP needs to do more to curtail the devastation President Trump us doing. The
Indiana Dems need to get it together, have candidates in EVERY county & get things done!
Holcomb is ok, better than Pence. He needs to give DWD more $ & more help though.
4/30/2019 7:45 AM
101 Holcomb should have used some political capital to put the screws on a real hate crimes bill. 4/30/2019 7:38 AM
102 Some state employees pay ie entry level secretary is a joke. Job banks show a starting pay of
around $18,500 for full time work! Way to set the bar for pay.
4/30/2019 7:36 AM
103 It was a bit absurd how little the Senate seemed to do this year. Almost no major bill came from
the Senate and, if they did, they had to be fixed by the House.
4/29/2019 8:04 AM
104 State budget writers are saying local communities will need to fund their prioroties. Urban school
districts and rural school districts are in need of school funding to compete for talent in higher
paying easier classrooms in the suburbs. Huston is playing politics for his own constituency when
he says he is unaware how teaching a child in poverty is more costly than a child not in poverty.
Zionsville increased 350 per pupil and IPS increaased 230 per pupil. Similar story for Carmel and
HSE. Equitable funding is needed based on need, not equal funding.
4/28/2019 2:10 PM
105 The Indiana legislature continues to move Indiana backwards catering to the most extreme wing of
the Republican party which is not representative of the state as a whole. Governor Holcomb has
been ineffectual in terms of being a moderating influence.
4/28/2019 12:40 PM
106 Term limits please and redraw the district lines 4/28/2019 11:07 AM
107 Question 6 is poorly conceived because it conflates the House and Senate. I give the Senate an F
and the House an A.

110 Roads & Infrastructure, Economic Development & Jobs — these are two sides of the same coin.
The most important investments we can make are structural, upstream shifts that promote growth,
inclusion, and investment downstream. Bias crimes legislation, investment in opportunity and skills
development for all, maintaining and prioritizing infrastructure, and attracting top tier firms and
talent — these are the upstream priorities.
4/28/2019 9:07 AM
111 The one simple thing I always go back to show how corrupt our local government is cold beer.
They are in the pockets of the liquor store association and they won’t pass it or they will lose their
meal ticket. Republicans are supposed to support the free market right? What a joke they are and
they think we don’t see it!
4/28/2019 9:03 AM
112 80% of Hoosiers support medical marijuana. A terminal patient can not access it under RTT even
though it’s a legal med in 3 surrounding states that passed phase I safety trials in US. My
prediction is Kirchofer (won by only 200 votes) will lose reelection. Bosma and Holcomb as well.
Indiana is failing to listen to Hoosiers and there will be repercussions.
4/28/2019 8:47 AM
113 It’s hard to say we have a fiscally conservative Governor and legislature when they raise taxes and
fees each session.
4/28/2019 8:33 AM
114 We need a regional approach to our opportunities and problems. 4/28/2019 8:21 AM
115 Dipping into the “sequestered ‘Gas Tax for Roads’” has rightfully angered Rs. Pure BS. 4/28/2019 8:16 AM
116 You ugly. You your daddy’s son. 4/28/2019 8:15 AM
117 visit schools to see what teachers really deal with 4/28/2019 8:13 AM
118 Another year, another bunch of people thrown in jail for victimless crimes. Every day citizens are
extorted for their hard earned money over minor infractions while simultaneously having their
paychecks stolen from to pay for lackluster services that fail at every point. We started a war and
fought for our independence 200+ years ago over a 3% tax rate and now people are happy to pay
almost 40% directly from their paychecks. The founding fathers are turning in their graves.
4/28/2019 8:07 AM
119 City - taking guns from law abiding citizens will not lower the crime rate. Indy more murders per
Capital than any other city in the country is embarrassing and the streets are pitiful. Fix them right
the first time! State level- stop raising taxes!!!! When will you make electric car drivers help pay
their fair share of the road tax the rest of us who drive gas cars pay at the pump? Federal - House
where is the budget, Senate - where is the leadership and WH - build the wall!

121 Pathetic session. GOP obsession with surplus is disgusting. I want my taxes to pay for things that
benefit all Hoosiers. Holcomb is weak. Caved on bias crimes. Gaming ties of Bosma and Holcomb
disgusting. Indiana GOP is Pay to Play. Hopefully Curtis Hill stayed home on Sine Die
4/28/2019 7:53 AM
122 As a committed Republican, Holcomb had lost all my support primarily due to his stance on the
Bias Crimes legislation and his position on marijuana. He needs to go!
4/28/2019 7:53 AM
123 Your poll is too simplistic 4/28/2019 7:52 AM
124 If you fix the economic issue, most of the rest fix themselves. The roads repair is a ball dropped by
both Hogsett and Holcolm
