The Frontier Foundation is a cover for currying influence. No elected official should get cozy with special interests — it affects how a legislator votes. Will Rep. Steve Buyer vote for his constituents’ interests or his charity donors’ interests?

If the foundation’s goal is to help Hoosier youth receive scholarships, Buyer should turn over the foundation’s control to an independent body that does not employ his family and is not beholden to lobbyists.
