Delicious smack-talk: “#Colts will shred the Pats, so just for fun we’ll wager some pulled @IndianaPork. #GameOn”

Finally a new constitution—the same one we have now, minus a slew of wacky amendments (I’m looking at you HJR-3)—was hammered out.

Marya Rose, CFO of Cummins, said she “knows employees will leave our state” if HJR-3 passes, and that Minnesota’s debate over a same-sex marriage cost the state $17 million.
