Attorney General Protects Hoosiers By Holding Big Tobacco Accountable

Attorney General Todd Rokita advanced Indiana’s battle to help Hoosiers stop smoking and decrease the incidence of youth smoking throughout the state by holding tobacco manufacturers accountable. 

Last week Indiana received over $200 million from tobacco product manufacturers under the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement.  

“Thousands of Hoosiers die each year from conditions caused by smoking,” said Attorney General Rokita. “My office is working hard to ensure our kids stay healthy and that they never go down the dangerous path of smoking.” 

Under this agreement, the state will receive annual payments as long as the tobacco manufacturers continue selling cigarettes in Indiana. The agreement also forbids participating cigarette manufacturers from targeting youth, imposes restrictions on advertising and promotional activities, and product placement in media, branded merchandise, free product samples, and sponsorships. 

The Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement remains the largest civil settlement in U.S. history. The funds received by Indiana under the settlement agreement go to healthcare, prevention, and reduction of smoking. 

Cigarettes cause cancer and other diseases, as the Surgeon General first concluded in its historic 1964 report. So, improving Hoosiers’ health remains a priority of the Attorney General, as it should for all elected officials.

Late rally gives Trailblazers extra-innings walk-off win over Lincoln Trail

0

VINCENNES, Ind. – The Vincennes University Trailblazer baseball team bounced back strong after a tough conference weekend by picking up a walk-off win over NJCAA Division I Lincoln Trail College 5-4 Tuesday night in 10 innings.

The Statesmen got on the board early, scoring a run in the top of the first.

Vincennes responded in the second to even the game after a single by freshman Jordan Roth (Delphi, Ind.) and an RBI single by sophomore Josiah Sizemore (Cambridge City, Ind.).

Lincoln Trail came back in the third to score a pair of runs on back-to-back two-out bloop singles to take a 3-1 lead.

Lincoln Trail would add to their lead with a run in the fifth.

Vincennes began to rally back late when sophomore Colin Long (Evansville, Ind.) led off the eighth with a double. Long would later score on a wild pitch.

Vincennes loaded the bases in the eighth on three-straight walks by sophomore Dale Coy (Evansville, Ind.), Roth and freshman Kaden Elliott (New Albany, Ind.)

Freshman Colton Evans (Henderson, Ky.) entered the game as a pinch hitter and came through with a two-RBI double to score Coy and Roth, with Elliott, representing the go-ahead run, getting tagged out at the plate as Vincennes tied the game at 4-4.

The Trailblazers would get a runner on third in the ninth but were unable to bring the run in as the game was headed to extra innings.

Vincennes would end the top of the 10th on a double play to keep the game tied heading into the bottom of the inning.

In the bottom of the 10th, Vincennes completed their comeback on back-to-back-to-back singles by Coy, Roth and a walk-off single by Elliott to give the Trailblazers the 5-4 win.

“We battled and had guys step up,” VU Head Baseball Coach Chris Barney said. “Colton Evans stepped up with a big, bases loaded-two out double down the right field line. Then later in the game Kaden Elliott, hopefully this is going to get him back on track here. He had some really good at bats today, he hit the ball hard to center field for a lineout and then obviously, at the end of the game came up with the big hit.”

“Hats off to our guys and we took advantage of their mistakes and opportunities that they gave us with some walks,” Barney added. “We were able to execute on a bunt and do some things that allowed us to get a chance to win and then we stepped up and won.”

Senator Braun on End of “Federal Overreach” Mask Mandate for Transportation

0

JASPER, IN — Senator Mike Braun released the following statement after a federal judge ruled against transportation mask mandates, leading to airlines, public transit, and private transportation companies like Lyft and Uber to drop their mask mandates.

“While I’m glad the federal mask mandate on airplanes is over, we have to remember this federal overreach was only ended by the courts, just like Biden’s vaccine mandate that jeopardized millions of jobs. If the White House had their way, these mandates would still be in effect.” – Senator Mike Braun

Senator Braun compared the to President Biden’s vaccine mandate for private businesses. Senator Braun led the opposition to the vaccine mandate in the U.S. Senate with a formal challenge that passed the Senate on a bipartisan vote and was noted as the most significant Congressional action regarding private vaccine mandates in the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the unconstitutional mandate.

Gov. Holcomb Announces Tax Refund On Its Way To All Hoosiers

0

INDIANAPOLIS — Governor Eric J. Holcomb announced today that Hoosiers should expect to begin receiving their promised $125 Automatic Taxpayer Refund in the coming weeks, resulting in a 12 percent cut in the average Hoosier’s annual income tax liability.

“I’m beyond thrilled that this spring and summer we are returning money back into the hands of Hoosier taxpayers, where it belongs,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Our conservative fiscal leadership and pro-growth policies make this tax refund possible for all Hoosier households.”

The Governor first announced in December that an estimated 4.3 million taxpayers will receive a $125 refund after they file their 2021 taxes. An estimated $545 million will be returned to Hoosiers. After the tax-filing deadline passes on April 18, the Department of Revenue in conjunction with the Auditor of State’s Office will begin issuing the refunds via direct deposit or by mailing a paper check.

Refunds will begin in May through direct deposit for residents who have filed their income taxes and provided their banking information on their return. Direct deposits are expected to continue through July.

Paper checks will be issued beginning in late July and continue through August, with the goal of completing the refund statewide by Sept. 1.

Residents do not need to take any action to receive the refund. The refund is in addition to and separate from any refund Hoosiers may receive after filing their 2021 state income tax returns.
