Senate Concurrent Resolution 0050 is a resolution facing our legislature urging the adoption of the sugar cream pie as Indiana’s official state pie.
Now, as ridiculous as this is, it’s nothing new. Did you know that the official beverage of Indiana is…water? Also, last year our legislators also spent time trying to revise the description of our state seal. The seal is officially described as showing a “full setting sun.” They believed that the description was too pessimistic and did not reflect the vibrancy of our state and all the opportunties Indiana has to offer. Our seal is a bit depressing, and all too realistic. It shows a man cutting down one of the last remaining trees while a buffalo runs for its life.
Regardless, there are several issues that are more pressing than what has been previously mentioned. Apparently, Governor Daniels is proposing to cut $3.5 million in funding to public broadcasting statewide. If you love public broadcasting like I do, let you state representative know by writing them and ask them to restore funding. Democracy is fantastic but it does require participation.
