Governor Pence finally did it (POL)

My new religion councils us to not pay state taxes whenever possible. Can I now move to Indiana and have their substantial income and property tax burden lifted in the name of religious freedom?

DonDiego congratulates alanleroy on his new beliefs, . . . and he welcomes him into the congregation.

wow, Governor Pence did all this? The laws in Indiana must be way different from the ones in Good ol New Hampshire.
Here, the good people all get together and ask there representatives (both Democrats and republicans) to make a law for us. It starts out as a bill (there's a song on Saturday mornings about it on TV).....Anyway, once the bill is written and passed thru the house of representatives it goes before our state senators (again--both Democrats and Republicans), If it passes there it goes to our Governor for final approval. She's a democrat and I don't agree with all of the laws that the good people of NH come up with and she signs into law but I get the fuck over it because that's how democracies work.
Now are you sure it was just governor Pence or was their a whole lot of good people, both Democrat and republican from Indiana behind this?

just wondering weggie

Nah they will just move to more enlightened places close by like Kentucky. The NCCA will get tons of relocation offers as will most of the other companies. States will be tripping over themselves offering these companies incentives to relocate their company to a discrimination free environment. It will be a win win for the companies involved.

No need to wonder, weggie. The bill sailed through Indiana's legislature down party lines of which Republicans hold a super majority. So you are right - Mike Pence and all of his fellow Republican legislature members are to blame for the law.

Thanks for the lesson in government.

MIght be worth a shot.

Nope, wouldn’t work.

Everyone knows that alanleroy suffers from “highly unusual” brain waves that result in frequently humorous but completely unpredictable outbursts. I mean, my God, the man shouts at smartphones fitted with big lenses and mounted on little tripods. And he does it in busy public places.

I’m quite certain that the good people of Indiana, understandably worried that alanleroy’s affliction might be contagious, wouldn’t let him move in.

Isn't this law supposed to help Catholics not to be forced to hand out birth control pills and stuff like that? I am protestant and scratch my head at some of the stuff they do too, but I respect there views as I would want them to respect my views....do you really think this law is going to send Indiana back to the 1940's? I am for most laws that keep government out of my house and wallet and give me more freedom
Can you give the uninformed outsider a rational scenario of what you think could happen under this law?

Gee whiz, fellas. Democracy works, and it really pisses me off.

History provides a giant list of ways businesses can discriminate against customers. Are you ignorant of it? Or is it just too uncomfortable to remember? Can you recall segregated lunch counters at Woolworths?

All of those same practices are now legal in Indiana so long as the business can rationalize it with a religious belief.
