WANE 15 Fails Again

Would your grumpy high school English teacher give you an A or an F" if you submitted this?

Spelling, apparently, is optional for the kids in the WANE 15 newsroom.

The story remains uncorrected here:

Media Misses The Boat, Again

Local media did their usual pedestrian job of highlighting the myriad of potholes on a notorious section of I69 where INDOT has been forced to reduce driver's speeds down to 45 mph from the usual and standard 85 mph. Nice pictures, grumpy drivers, all the usual stuff.

But, what did our intrepid media miss? Why 15 didn't "Find Out", why 21 didn't "Dig Deeper", and channel 55? They still have their hands full learning the street names. 

Here's the deal: 

On July 1, 2017, thanks to the Indiana legislature, the cost of a gallon of gas increased 10 cents with the stated purpose of fixing Indiana's roads, which voters were told were crumbling. Also contained in this law, was a promise to increase the gas tax by a penny each year, for years to come, to fund more improvements. 

So kids, why hasn't anyone in the media asked the question "where did the money go" or "what did you spend the money on"? Too much trouble to pull the Governor out of St Elmo's to ask him? No time to track down a handful of local reps or a state senator? 

Why does the media appear to look the other way?

Choose the best answer:
A. I'm afraid of pissing off the rich and powerful
B. I won't get invited to all the cool holiday parties that politicians throw
C. What tax increase?
D. Club Soda will take away my reserved bar stool.
E. All of the above.

So, elected members of the Indiana Legislature, what say you? What did you do with the money?
