BHOL 461: State Rep District 54 Candidates: Cory Criswell & Nan Polk

Episode 461 of Boss Hog of Liberty is available now. Host voices are Jeremiah Morrell, Bones Harcourt, and Zach Burcham.

The candidate series starts as we move into October. District 54 State Representative is the first race featured, with incumbent Republican Cory Criswell and Democrat Nan Polk, senior member of the New Castle School Board.

Topics include the local flood response and what the state and local governments got right, and how things could have been improved. Indiana has suspended fuel taxes since the spring.

Candidates weigh in on the suspension and the process, should there have been a special session? Other hot topic issues covered include data centers, and if Indiana should be doing more to regulate them. Quality of life and affordability have been a massive topic this summer. How will school corporations meet local needs on less dollars after SB1 fully affects local governments. What property tax plan do Criswell and Polk support going forward? Finally, we hear from the candidates on flock cameras and potential reforms that are on the table for 2028. We also use the rear view mirror to talk about the redistricting attempt that failed in the short session. Should off cycle redistricting be considered again in future sessions?

Next Episode records Thursday October 8st and we will be interviewing Jim Nicholson and David Bockover, candidates for Henry County Sheriff. Special thanks to Weiland’s Flower, Ink and Ale, and Muncie Farm & Fleet for their dedicated sponsorship of the candidate series.

Boss Hog of liberty is now available in video form of Youtube and Facebook, Spotify.
