Indiana Editorial Board Blasts CNBC Ranking That Put State in Bottom 10 for Quality of Life

Summary
The Times Community Editorial Advisory Board attacked CNBC’s latest state rankings after Indiana landed among the 10 worst states for quality of life.
CNBC’s list also placed Indiana in the top 10 for business, a split the board argued undercuts the credibility of the overall assessment.
The criticism came in a joint editorial published by The Times of Northwest Indiana and its community advisory board, which includes local media, business and nonprofit leaders.
The dispute highlights a familiar tension in state rankings: Indiana’s pro-business reputation versus persistent questions about how residents’ day-to-day living conditions are measured.
