No Jim, good investigative journalism isn't a 'witch hunt'.

QUOTE Prior to obtaining official records of his arrest and guilty plea, The Republic asked Lucas earlier this month if he had a prior OWI arrest based on a published arrest record in The Republic in 1988 that matched his name and age.

The lawmaker repeatedly declined to comment, but he also declined to deny a prior arrest when given multiple opportunities. At one point, he asked, “Can you prove it?”

Told that The Republic was investigating and planning to publish records that suggested Lucas may have a prior arrest for OWI — and that the newspaper may potentially report on this and other issues based on news tips from readers — Lucas grew combative during a June 15 phone interview.

“This is a witch hunt by The Republic, and The Republic is obviously desperate to make themselves newsworthy, and the only thing you guys are doing are showing your true colors by continuing on this path. … This is pathetic gutter journalism,” Lucas said.

“I’d like for you guys to discover some morality a little bit,” he said. “You’re jumping on hearsay and rumors and you’re trying to make a front-page story out of hearsay and rumors.” UNQUOTE

State District 69 Rep. Jim Lucas, who pleaded guilty earlier this month to misdemeanor charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident, also pleaded guilty to a prior drunken driving charge in the 1980s, The Republic has confirmed.

Whoops! Looks like someone forgot to switch to their fake Facebook account before making a complimentary post about themselves. Or is she one of those weirdos who talks in the 3rd person? Either way, don't Hoosiers deserve better?

Jim on TV, advocating for what is right, even when party leadership is opposed to what's right. Jim fights, he's tenacious and persistent, and doesn't back down. He's not afraid to speak truth to power.
