[Hotdoger]

......but at least they dont sale there citizens down the river in order to get corporate America to the table . or maybe they do and im just mad!

Illinois politicians and bureaucrats don't sell their citizens down the river to corporate America?

That's a bit naive.

I am a refugee from Illinois and am very happy to be in a free state.

Me too. Indiana has its issues like any other state, but at least it still appears as if the people are in control.

I'm wondering if the Indiana Department of Homeland Security can construct and guard a fence between Indiana and Illinois.....just to keep the governmental vermin from being able to infiltrate over to this side of the border.

I doubt "our" governmental vermin would allow the fence, in case they decide they want to run away and hide from their duties on that side of the border again.

Also Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel, and Rod Blagojevich to name some recent ones.

You beat me to it. The place has had some major looser's come from it. Maybe it is something in the water.

Too late. Here in Indy we've already had a taste of Chicago-style politics when Bart Peterson was Mayor and the Dems controlled the City. Let's hope we can avoid going back to that here.

Hate to break the news to you billmyn, but you are not required to use a company doctor, in Indiana you may have your own personal doctor to initiate the WC process, but it is up to you to properly inform your employer of the incident immediately when the injury occurs.

Indiana's WC laws are not bad, but it is also up to you to make sure that the IWCB is informed if your employer tries to skirt the WC laws and deny your rightful claim.

Since Jan 21st of 2010 I have had two injuries that have keep me out of action and my employer worked with the WC doctors and our insurer to put me on light duty and make sure that my shoulder surgery (10 months from injury to release) and a severely strained Sacroiliac Joint (5 months) was properly healed before returning to full status.
