On Friday, I announced my support for letting Hoosiers vote on the controversial anti-paycheck, anti-worker “right to work for less” bill in the November general election. 

      This will end the stalemate at the State House and get us working on bills that will actually create jobs for Hoosiers and get our economy moving again.

      We should give the people of Indiana the chance to vote on the most contentious bill of the decade.

      We let Hoosiers vote on school and hospital building projects, the property tax caps, creating the state lottery.... Why wouldn’t we let them vote on legislation that would lower their paychecks by an average of $5,000 a year?

      While we're on the topic, let's make one fact perfectly clear. Giving Hoosiers the chance to vote on important legislative issues is nothing new. Just this session, in fact, seven House bills were filed dealing with voter referendums.

      The Governor and the Republican majorities in the House and Senate are trying to steamroll it through the legislative process as quickly as possible before the full national attention that will be provided by next month’s Super Bowl here in Indianapolis.

      Republicans have shut out the public every chance they could. From closing off public access to the State House to conducting legislative hearings with no opportunities for testimony or discussion, the public has been kept out of the process while big business has driven the agenda.

      Over half of all Hoosiers are undecided about "Right to Work for Less" and when they find out about its effects (lower wages, less benefits and unsafe workplaces), Hoosiers oppose the radical bill.

      The people of Indiana have the right to speak their piece by voting this issue.

      Tell Speaker Bosma to give Hoosiers an up or down vote on this anti-paycheck, anti-worker “Right to Work For Less” bill!
