Ind. Gov't. - This is very bad news!

Lesley Stedman Weidenbener's excellent reporting has been quoted often by the ILB, most recently yesterday, re the immigration hearing in federal court.

Today the Louisville Courier Journal let her go, effective immediately. Here are some quotes from a note she sent out mid-afternoon:

I’m sorry to tell you that The Courier-Journal has decided to close its Indianapolis office. As a result, I have been laid off and will leave my position today.

You’ve all been incredibly good to me in my 15 years covering the Indiana Statehouse for two newspapers. They were the best jobs I’ve ever had.

Cheers, Lesley
