It appears the Jamey Noel saga may finally be coming to an end...for now. The disgraced former Clark County Sheriff and Republican power player pled guilty to 27 felony counts on Monday. While the judge has yet to accept Noel's guilty plea, and Noel's wife and child's future remain in doubt, the biggest question for many remains unanswered. That is, what did Governor Eric Holcomb, one of Noel's best friends and closest political allies, know about Noel's activities and when? Rob Kendall, Jim Merritt, and Abdul-Hakim Shabazz discuss on this week's Statehouse Happenings.

For years, residents in Dubois County have pushed back on a multi-billion dollar proposal to connect I-64 and I-69 known as the Mid-States Corridor. Much of their ire has been focused at one of the project's biggest supporters, Governor Mike Braun. The backlash has been so intense, a recent poll showed a shocking 62 percent of Dubois County residents (Braun's home county) disapprove of the job he is doing. Now, questions about the Mid-States Corridor are coming to the Statehouse, as politicians are beginning to question the massive price tag while INDOT is scrapping hundreds of other projects. Is the Mid-States Corridor Braun's newest long-lasting headache? Rob, Abdul, and Jim Merritt discuss on Statehouse Happenings. (1/7/26)
