The Last Seven Days of Session
Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma admits that while the Indiana General Assembly has had to deal with some “side issues” he tells the Statehouse press corps he is generally pleased with what lawmakers have done and thinks they can workout their remaining issues like the smoking ban and a Hoosier’s right to resist an unlawful police entry into their homes.
