Axios Indy: Gov. Mike Braun isn't afraid to break rank

The Hoosier National Forest has an influential new ally: Gov. Mike Braun.

The big picture: Braun is aligning himself with the environmental groups that are opposing U.S. Forest Service plans for controlled burns and logging in southern Indiana.

It's not every day that Trump-era conservative Republicans like Braun find themselves on the same sides of issues as conservation groups like the Indiana Forest Alliance, but Braun campaigned as the outsider who isn't afraid to break stride.

Since he's a governor and it was an EO from the "president." I'll be interested to see how exactly he protests. He has so far written to the Forest Service and I have no idea what the route of communication is in this administration.
