Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: The Indiana State Legislature tries to accomplish all of its tasks before the current session adjourns. A jockey Senate tries to jump a horse Right to Work Repeal Bill over a fence, but the horse hits a bar labeled Senate Reverse Vote. A line of men stand in the background, holding more bars to raise the fences height. The bars are labeled with steps a bill must go through before becoming law and difficulties which could arise during the process, such as approval of both houses, the possibility that the governor could veto, and deadlines. Other jockeys and horses wait in the background for their turns to jump. A man labeled Irresponsible Session stands in front of the horse waving two flags.
