There was a debate in my own district, House District 26, where Randy Truitt (R) and John Polles (D) are competing to replace the outgoing Democratic incumbent, Joe Micon. Dorothy Schneider of the Journal & Courier has the story which I offer without further comment due to my policy of not writing about Tippecanoe County politics.
I always wondered why you avoid writing about Tippecanoe politics?
I will comment. I wasn’t able to see the debate, but was surprised to see Truitt not in favor of an anti-gay marriage amendment. His first vote will be for Speaker of the House — which means Brian Bosma — whose agenda DOES include that. And Party discipline is strong in the House. So, if the Reps rule the House, he’ll vote for whatever they bring up.
