Group Plans Virtual Redistricting Forum

Staff Report
TheStatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS—A group of organizations concerned about partisan redistricting plans a virtual forum designed to engage churches and other places of worship Monday.

The Indiana Coalition for Independent Redistricting will host “Prayer for Democracy: Bringing Your Faith Community into the Redistricting Conversation” June 7 from noon to 1 p.m., eastern time. Those interested in attending can register at bit.ly/PrayerForDemocracy.

Redistricting is the process of determining the boundaries and populations of legislative districts. It occurs every 10 years, when the census results become available.

The Indiana General Assembly will take the issue up later this year. The maps the legislators draw will remain in effect until 2031.

The organizations in the Indiana Coalition for Independent Redistricting came together to try to prevent lawmakers from drawing maps that will give one party or another an unfair advantage, a practice known as gerrymandering. “Prayer for Democracy” is one of a series of events the coalition has held and will hold regarding redistricting.

For those of you who are unaware, EPD was the 4th agency to host CWAC. Currently there are agencies in all 50 states and in 10 different countries that participate in CWAC.

Both of our Chiefs, Assistant Chief Philip Smith and Chief Billy Bolin, are instructors for the program. People that attend CWAC can expect open and honest dialogue with the officers in attendance. CWAC will take place every 3rd Tuesday of the month from 7-9am at either a Donut Bank or Chick-Fil-A locations.

October, however, is on October 7th which is National CWAC Day. Through this program we have been able to establish trust and build new relationships with community members. We look forward to seeing new faces this year at CWAC.

Otters’ win streak ends at six games Saturday

0

The Evansville Otters’ six-game winning streak came to an end Saturday night at the hands of the Schaumburg Boomers in a 13-2 loss at Wintrust Field.

 

The Boomers took the lead in the bottom of the second inning when Luke Becker hit a solo home run off of starter Tim Holdgrafer. It was the first of four home runs hit by the Boomers, and the first of two hit by Becker.

 

Holdgrafer struggled through his 4+ innings of work. He gave up seven runs on eleven hits, three of them home runs.

 

The Boomers pulled away in the bottom of the fifth, scoring five on a two-run homer, and three more on three wild pitches.

 

The Otters scratched out two runs in the late innings. In the sixth, Bryce Denton singled home Andy DeJesus from second with two outs.

 

In the eighth, Elijah MacNamee scored on a sac fly by J.R. Davis.

 

Denver McQuary relieved Holdgrafer in the fifth. He settled down after a wild fifth to pitch the sixth and seventh innings scoreless. Overall, he was charged with two runs over three innings, allowing two hits, issuing three walks, and striking out one.

 

Reid Bukowski came out to mop things up in the eighth. The Boomers tagged him for four runs on three hits. Luke Becker hit his second homer of the night, a two-run blast.

 

The Otters will look to get back to their winning ways Sunday, as they wrap up their series in Schaumburg with an evening doubleheader. First pitch is at 5:00 p.m.

 

Senators Braun Introduce Bill To Make Railroad Crossings Safer

0

WASHINGTON – Last week, Senator Mike Braun and Senator Raphael Warnock introduced S. 1919, the Railway Upgrades for Rural American Lines (RURAL) Act in order to build on the successes already found through the Section 130 grant program and help states modernize unsafe or functionally outdated railroad warning devices.

“Since the Section 130 grant program’s creation in 1987, fatalities at railway-highway crossings have decreased by 57 percent. While the Section 130 grant program has been successful in reducing deaths at railway-highway crossings, there is still work to be done to eliminate the threat posed by unsafe railroad crossings. Indiana is crossroads of America and this bill provides a way for states to modernize out of date and functionally obsolete railroad warning devices based on a community’s discretion. The RURAL Act is a realistic answer to creating safer roads for all Americans,” said Senator Mike Braun

“For the last four years, Georgia has been one of the top five states for highway-rail incidents. Much of rural Georgia has inadequate crossing equipment, which not only leads to inconvenient and costly delays for local businesses and commuters, but also endangers our communities and railroad workers. It doesn’t have to stay that way, especially with the RURAL Act as a practical solution,” said Senator Warnock. “This smart legislation further incentivizes improvements in risk management and equipment measures onsite at highway-rail grade crossings across the state of Georgia, and I look forward to working with my partner Sen. Braun to get this legislation passed.”
