My May 12th Larry’s Log podcast discussed Indiana Republican House member Jim Lucas from Seymour.  He was accused of a recent racist post on Facebook.  Lucas immediately defended himself, saying the post was not racist and he is not racist.  I urged House Speaker Todd Huston (from Fishers) to consider pulling Lucas from his committee appointments in the House.  Friday afternoon, Huston published new committee assignments and Lucas was no longer on two, demoted from vice-chair to regular member on a third panel.  Here is my followup commentary on the speaker’s actions.
