Attorney General’s Office Files Motion To Appeal In Holcomb v. Bray
In response to the Marion County Superior Court’s order denying the State’s motion to strike the appearance of unauthorized counsel in Holcomb v. Bray, the Office of the Indiana Attorney General has filed a motion asking the court to certify the case for immediate appeal. The question of who has authority to represent the state’s legal interests in court—the Attorney General or outside counsel—is an issue of fundamental importance to the operation of Indiana Government. The ruling also impacts the legislature’s ability to operate without the threat of litigation. Accordingly, immediate appeal is justified.
“The Attorney General’s Office has fought for the liberties of the people of Indiana for decades, using the very same precedents this court has now upended,†said Attorney General Todd Rokita. “The constitution belongs not to the Governor, the legislature, or the Attorney General, but to the people of Indiana. If left unchallenged, the court’s order in this case threatens to tip the balance of powers and undermine the individual liberties of the citizens of this state. As such, we have filed an appeal in the interest of protecting Hoosiers.â€
The Office of the Attorney General’s filings are attached.
Vanderburgh County Lawmakers Receive Summer Study Committee Appointments
JULY 6, 2021 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
STATEHOUSE (July 6, 2021) – Vanderburgh County legislators recently received appointments to serve on interim study committees.
Throughout the summer and fall, Indiana state legislators serve on interim study committees where they work on policy, examine top issues, gather testimony and recommend legislation ahead of the legislative session kicking off in January.
State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) will serve as vice chair of the Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Code.
“I look forward to serving as vice chair of this committee and delve into key topics like human trafficking, jail overcrowding, sentencing, incarceration and treatment,” McNamara said. “We will continue to analyze ways we can reduce crime rates throughout our state and keep all Hoosiers safe.”
McNamara was also appointed to the 18-member Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council, which is charged with conducting state-level reviews of corrections departments, county jails and probation services. Members will examine treatment and mental health services available for those in the criminal justice system.
McNamara will also serve on the board of trustees for the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, which is the state’s planning agency responsible for coordinating with local, state and federal entities to analyze emerging trends in criminal justice, law enforcement and public safety. The ICJI also develops new methods for crime prevention and reduction, and provides studies, data and analysis.
State Rep. Matt Hostettler (R-Patoka) will serve on the Interim Study Committee on Public Policy.
“Our government should always look at ways to cut red tape and streamline needlessly complicated processes for Hoosiers,” Hostettler said. “As a small-business owner, I understand the challenges that are out there and I don’t want to see government unnecessarily stand in the way. This summer, we will look at restrictions on out-of-state licenses for those who want to practice an occupation in Indiana. With so much interstate commerce in Vanderburgh, Gibson, Knox, Pike and Posey counties, this is an issue that’s beneficial to discuss for our state’s economic growth.”
State Rep. Tim O’Brien (R-Evansville) will serve as a member of the Transborder Water Resources Authority.
“This is a critical topic that truly affects the people of Evansville,” O’Brien said. “Our waterways are a major resource for the area and strong interstate partnerships are key to continued economic growth. It’s helpful to have these ongoing discussions about the shared water resources on our state’s southern border and ways we can all benefit.”
Members of the public are welcomed to attend and testify at committee hearings, which typically occur at the Statehouse in Indianapolis. Hearings are also livestreamed and archived online at iga.in.gov, where committee calendars and meeting agendas are posted.

EVANSVILLE, IN (07/06/2021) Earlier this year, the University of Evansville (UE) announced the creation of the UE Music Conservatory to better serve students and the local community. Beginning this fall, the Conservatory will expand its offerings to provide musical opportunities and lifelong learning for all ages through the new Community Conservatory. Lessons and classes will begin in August.

In addition to one-on-one lessons, students will have opportunities for masterclasses and coaching, recitals with a provided pianist, reduced class rates, a discount toward the UE Summer Music Camp, and a guaranteed talent-based scholarship toward a UE music degree.
A variety of classes will also be available to the community, accommodating many age groups and skill levels. Course offerings will include chamber music, group piano, audition preparation, drumming, ensembles, and more. Registration for classes is now open.
UE will continue to offer existing services through the Conservatory, including community ensembles such as UE Choral Society, UE Symphony Orchestra, and the UE Community Band. Rehearsals are held on a weekly basis and performances are presented each semester. The long-running Suzuki Program will also continue as part of the Community Conservatory. Founded in 1972, the program teaches more than 100 students aged 4-17 in the tri-state region.
“Recognizing UE’s commitment to the community, the faculty are excited to offer and develop new musical opportunities in the area,” said Kenneth Steinsultz, co-director of the UE Music Conservatory. “Music can be a lifelong talent and passion no matter your path in life, and the Community Conservatory will allow anyone to accomplish that.”
