Beau Bayh talks corruption, marijuana, bipartisanship in Q&A

EVANSVILLE – Hoosiers, Beau Bayh says, are capable of making big decisions themselves. One of those was electing him as Indiana's new secretary of state earlier this month. Now he wants to reward them by giving them an even bigger say on future ballots. Bayh – the third branch in an Indiana Democratic Party political dynasty that included his grandfather, Sen. Birch Bayh, and his dad, senator and former Gov. Evan Bayh – said one of his first priorities in office will be to lean on the state legislature to legalize ballot initiatives: a system in which citizens can collect signatures and put huge issues up for a vote statewide. That could include everything from legalizing marijuana to mid-decade partisan gerrymandering. Bayh said it would help satisfy a plea he heard from voters in all 92 counties during his campaign: strip out the middle-man of compromised politicians and let voters speak for themselves. "One of the refrains I heard is that people were just frustrated because they didn’t feel like their elected representatives actually wanted to represent them.

That cake gave me the bug, and it all started from there.” She continued to decorate and eventually her friends started ordering. The first item a friend bought was a vanilla drip cake.

Indiana girls basketball state championship-winning coach given two-game suspension

Two years ago, South Knox (IN) won its only state championship in school history when the girls basketball team won the Class 2A championship. To kick off the 2026-27 season, however, the Spartans will be without their head coach. Brian Haenchen of the IndyStar and Kyle Sokeland of the Courier and Press reported on Wednesday, Nov. 11, that Hollie Anson-Eaves received the two-game suspension for violating the Indiana High School Athletic Association's “undue influence” policy. In addition to the suspension, the program has also been placed on probation for the year. The IndyStar and Courier Press received an email from South Knox Superintendent Jeff Cochren confirming the news and stating the violation occurred in May. Two months later, the IHSAA informed South Knox of the "potential for a violation" and was informed that they needed to respond. The administration responded with a written letter in August and on Nov. 5 received the punishment. Per the IHSAA bylaws, Rule 20-1 prohibits coaches and schools to recruit or attempt to recruit student-athletes under the use of “undue influence” — that being the encouragement or inducing that player to attend a school solely for athletic-related reasons. Anson-Eaves served the first of her two-game
