072: Indiana's Own Dana Black, Explaining the Statehouse' Impact on Cities
Podcast: The 812Published On: Thu May 16 2024
Description: On this show about local government, we're thinking today about the state, and how it affects local government. Dana Black is host of the Turn Left podcast and an inveterate watcher of the Indiana General Assembly. We discuss topics like home rule, annexation, the regulation of rentals, and other legislation that has impacted cities like Bloomington. Dissecting bills and engaging directly with representatives and their aides, particularly during the summer sessions when legislators are more available, is more easily done when people group together. Black also tells us about the mechanisms by which local citizens can influence state policy -- strategies for lobbying and working with legislators, and the importance of organizing locally to address state-level decisions.
