Indiana is no longer the great state it used to be

4/7/2006
I have lived here for 38 out of my 39 years of life. I have a college degree and am a single Mom. I have gone from riches to rags in a short time because my son had a terrible accident last year and 6 months before that I was downsized and then this January I was downsized again (outsourcing). The economy is horrible. Medical insurance rates are horrible. Property taxes are outrageous. Income taxes are terrible. I have been forced to sell my home. Hospitals even Riley Hospital) cannot figure out how to heal my son. He still has his injury from over a year ago.
Politicians run this state (Democrat and Republican alike). If you are not involved in politics you CANNOT win here. Trust me I know, I worked for the state for quite a while. Our last Governor was terrible (a Democrat) and our new one is as well (he is Republican). The schools are all overcrowded. As a matter of fact, hundreds of teachers lost their jobs last year and now there are more on the list. Once I am able to find a job out of state we are out of here. We cannot survive in Indiana much longer.
