McCormick speaks to students about bid for governor

(09/28/23 2:42am)

Democratic candidate for Governor Jennifer McCormick spoke at a meeting of the College Democrats at Ball State. Members of other campus political organizations, such as the College Republicans at Ball State, were also welcomed to join the event at the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Sept. 27. McCormick was the state superintendent of public instruction from 2017 until 2021, as a Republican. Before running for office, she was a special education teacher, language arts teacher, and school superintendent of Yorktown Community Schools. After leaving office in 2021, McCormick switched her party affiliation to Democrat.McCormick said, when she served as state superintendent, her philosophy was that she was there to serve everyone, not just the people she voted into office. She also said she wants to continue her values of bipartisanship and public service into her run for Governor. “We should be having conversations together,” McCormick said. “If we're going to get things done for Americans, it's going to take a bipartisan, common sense, civil type of approach.”McCormick focused on the future of education, she said the public leaders who will be elected in Indiana’s 2024 elections could be the lawmakers “who are calling the shots for your kid’s future.”McCormick said she supports the implementation of universal pre-kindergarten across the state.“You have no idea the power of poverty in a classroom,” she said. “That should not be seen as an expense, that should be seen as an investment.”A self-described “firm believer” in public education, McCormick also said there are good private and charter schools as well. She said she believes private and charter schools should have public, transparent and inclusive admission policies before tax dollars fund them. She said she wants a fair playing game between these different type of schools.A 2022 Indiana Chamber of Commerce report found only 29 percent of 18-year-olds graduate and then stay in Indiana.

City council at-large candidates participate in forum

(09/21/23 3:58am)

The seven candidates for Muncie’s three at-large city council positions discussed their viewpoints on stage at a forum at Muncie Central High School Auditorium Sept. 20. The other city positions represented at the forum were city court judge and clerk-treasurer. Over the course of 90 minutes, the ten candidates talked about a variety of issues, such as brownfields and solar energy, the future of the 600,000 square foot Muncie Mall and abandoned homes in Muncie.The use of brownfields and potential solar energy The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies brownfields as “a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.” As of Feb. 2022, Muncie has 64 brownfield properties that are a part of the Indiana Brownfields Program, according to the Indiana Finance Authority (IFA).In June 2022, the Muncie City Council voted down a proposed solar farm at the former General Motors (GM) property by a 5-4 vote. In a question directed to the at-large city council candidates only, they were asked how they would address the brownfields and solar energy in Muncie.William McIntosh, Democratic candidate, said that the city has to move forward when it comes to environmental issues such as solar energy and brownfields. He also said it is important to think of the big picture as well. Ro Selvey, incumbent Republican at-large councilwoman, said she supported the GM property plan, which failed to pass the city council, but she thought it would have been great for Muncie. When it comes to brownfields, Selvey said she would set some money aside to consult businesses who help write grants for cleaning brownfields.Steve Smith, Libertarian candidate, said that as long as the solar energy projects benefit the community as a whole and not specific organizations and outside interests, he would support solar energy projects.
