Indiana House Democrats break Republican supermajority, discuss tax reform

(The Center Square) – After breaking a 14-years supermajority in the Indiana House on Election Day, Democrats want to tackle taxes and affordability. Democrats flipped 16 Indiana House seats in last week’s election, and now the 46-seat Democratic minority elected leaders have priorities for the new year. “My responsibility to the taxpayers is not only to listen to them, but to make life easier and more affordable for them,” said Rep.

A Slice of November – The Boone County Cake Co.

The Boone County Cake Co., owned by Stephanie Kim, became a local spot for sweets and treats in July 2023. Being the baker of the family, Stephanie loves decorating cakes. She surprised her mom with a three-tier birthday cake and had said, “I watched countless videos, bought all sorts of tools, and spent about two days making it. 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.

Lillie Graves has a chance at Indiana Miss Basketball history this season

LAFAYETTE — There is no higher individual honor in Indiana high school girls basketball than winning the Miss Basketball award. Handed out to the state’s top performing senior, the list of recipients in the 50-year history include multiple future college and WNBA stars. Amazingly, though, nobody from a high school in Lafayette city limits has won the prestigious honor. That could change this winter. McCutcheon is home to Lillie Graves , and she is an early frontrunner for the award in her senior season. It doesn’t take long to discover why. Rated a four-star recruit and ranked 60th nationally by ESPN, the Virginia Tech commit has become a prolific talent. She averaged 17.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.3 steals per game last season on 47% shooting from the field for the Class 4A semi-state runner-up Mavericks , while also shooting a career-best 33% from behind the arc. More: Top returning 2026-27 girls basketball teams from Lafayette area Graves is also likely to break the Tippecanoe County scoring record set by Lafayette Jeff’s Maya Layton last year. Layton finished her career with 2,044 points, while Graves was at 1,565 before this season began — 479 points off. She has
