Just when you thought the entire scenario of Indiana Democratic State Representatives fleeing to Illinois to avoid having to do their jobs couldn’t get any stranger, it just did. According to this[1] Campaign Finance Report filed by the Indiana Democratic Party, the entire $84,953.70 hotel bill at the Comfort Suites Urbana was paid for unions. Even better than that, many of those unions are out of state.
During this entire episode, Indiana Democratic Chair Dan Parker repeatedly refused to answer questions about who was footing the bill for this little vacation. Not surprisingly, Indiana Republican Chair Eric Holcomb was neither thrilled nor shocked:
“What were Democrats hiding from? The truth,” said Indiana Republican Party Chairman Eric Holcomb. “The proof is now in writing. Democrats were not only fighting for narrow special interests, but were also bankrolled by those same entities. Their walkout wasn’t focused on helping Hoosiers. Their walkout was focused on keeping the status quo.”
Here’s part of what Chairman Holcomb was referring to. See, according to Dan Parker himself, HE was personally footing the bill for the entire escapade. No really, here’s what he said[2]:
Democratic State Chairman Dan Parker says he is sponsoring the House Democrats’ stay at an Urbana, Ill. hotel. Reached by phone in Washington, D.C. Parker said he is paying $2,500 a day. He says he’s received online contributions to help pay the cost and may solicit more.
Parker says he will pay the bill for as long as it takes.
“When you’re standing on principle,” he said, “It’s worth it.”
While it’s certainly no secret that Democrats in general are bought and paid for by their various unions, we now have it on record who the Indiana Democratic Party actually works for. Let the record show that it isn’t the people of Indiana.

Sounds like an illegal bribe to me. When do we charge them?
