In general, I wish Democrats paid more mind to "what process will yield responsible stewards of our nation/state/city even if a slim GOP majority won a cycle."

Wow. If you think avoiding flooding is expensive, then just wait until you see the cost of flood damage. https://www.indystar.com/story/news/environment/2023/04/11/indiana-lawmakers-want-cities-to-ignore-award-winning-flooding-data/69904982007/
Indiana has new data to protect Hoosiers from flooding. Lawmakers don't want us to use it.

A bill this year would let local officials ignore updated data on areas most likely to flood. Opponents say this leaves Hoosiers at risk.

@archpundit Definitely my employer’s most embarrassing alumni. And we also claim noted n-word enthusiast, John Schnatter, so not a low bar.
