         Governor Holcomb Orders Hoosiers to Stay Home in Fight Against COVID-19 
 (from March 23, 2020 Press Release)
Governor Eric J. Holcomb delivered a statewide address yesterday to order that Hoosiers remain in their homes except when they are at work or for permitted activities, such as taking care of others, obtaining necessary supplies, and for health and safety. The order is in effect from March 25 to April 7.
“The next two weeks are critical if we are to slow the spread of COVID-19, and we must slow the spread. You must be part of the solution, not the problem,” said Gov. Holcomb.

Governor Holcomb issued four executive orders:

  • EO 20-08. Stay at Home. Provides for essential and non-essential business and operations, infrastructure, government services, travel, and activities outside of one’s home. Click here for answers to frequently asked questions regarding the stay-at-home order.
  • EO 20-09. Continuity of State Operations. Provides for the continuing operation of state government from 5 p.m. today through 8 a.m. April 7 with restricted access to government buildings and services.
  • EO 20-10. Enforcement Directive Regarding Prohibition of In-Person Dining.
    • Directs that state and local boards of health and the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (ATC) take all available administrative and enforcement actions against establishments that continue to offer in-house dining services, in violation of the governor’s executive order of March 16.
      • Health departments will deliver letters ordering restaurants that continue to provide in-person dining to cease such operations. If they do not comply, fines will be levied.
      • For restaurants with alcohol permits that continue to offer in-person dining, the ATC will issue an order in writing for the establishment to cease such operations. If the activity continues, the ATC will suspend the entity’s liquor license and will consider the non-compliance at the time of permit renewal.
  • EO 20-11. Provisions for carryout consumption of alcohol.
    • Relaxes the sale of carryout alcoholic beverages for dining establishments. This includes establishments that allow for on-premises consumption only and those that are permitted carryout permits dependent on a percentage of on-premises sales.

Gov. Holcomb Announces Primary Moved to June 2
(from March 20, 2020 IndianaGop News Updates)
Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb announced last the Friday, that due to COVID-19 concerns, the primary election will be moved from May 5 to June 2, 2020. Keeping Hoosiers safe is a top priority for Governor Holcomb, and by delaying our primary, we’ll properly balance the safety of county employees, poll workers, and voters with Hoosiers’ right to elect their citizens in a free and open election.

This wasn’t a step taken lightly — and it’s all centered around making sure Hoosiers can still exercise their right to vote during this coronavirus pandemic. It was a joint decision made by Governor Holcomb, Secretary of State Connie Lawson, Indiana Republican Party Chairman Kyle Hupfer and the Indiana Democrats.A few additional fast facts about the Primary Day change:

  • Any registered voter will be able to vote via an absentee mail-in ballot.
  • The window for requesting an absentee ballot will remain open through 12 day out from the new primary election date.
  • Medical professionals will be eligible members of traveling boards to allow nursing home and hospital patients to vote.
  • Family members will be allowed to deliver absentee ballots.
Primary Goals

If you’re like many other Hoosiers and Americans, I’m sure you’ve had a very unique week. As we all face the global coronavirus pandemic, together we’ve had to face new challenges — whether that’s an unexpected slow down at work, adapting to new social distancing guidelines, helping your kids with e-learning or so much more.

Through it all, though, we all share one primary goal — protecting our most vulnerable Hoosiers from this virus.  And that’s where Indiana’s primary election comes in. With county employees, poll workers and voters in close proximity, we knew that holding the election as planned on May 5 could put our fellow Hoosiers at risk.
That’s why today, I was proud to join Governor Eric Holcomb as he announced that he was taking executive action to move Indiana’s primary election to June 2. I’m proud to share that this is a bipartisan decision, as Governor Holcomb worked with Secretary of State Connie Lawson, the chairman of the Indiana Democrat Party and me to come to this solution that balances citizens’ right to vote with Hoosiers’ health and well-being.

So while we all go through this challenging time, we’ll have an extra month until Primary Day. And with that, I look forward to witnessing a new age of creative virtual campaigning that’ll be coming our way soon.

– Chairman Kyle Hupfer

 Gov. Holcomb Takes More Actions to Protect Hoosiers During Public Emergency

  Last week Governor Eric J. Holcomb took additional actions to protect and support Hoosiers during the COVID-19 outbreak by signing executive orders that extend the closure of schools, provide economic relief and protections for individuals and businesses, and expand unemployment insurance benefits for those impacted by job loss.

Every day we learn more about how to tackle this monster. We are being thoughtful about how to approach every action we are taking in this national public health emergency and putting Hoosiers’ health and safety first,” said Gov. Holcomb.
 
Here are a few of the actions that have been taken to date:

  • Extending Indiana’s state of emergency by another 30 days when it expires on April 5
  • All of Indiana’s K-12 public schools will remain closed through May 1, and non-public schools are also ordered closed.
  • The deadline to pay your state income taxes will be extended from April 15 to July 15 to align with new federal dates, and penalties will be waived for 60 days for property taxes paid after May 11.
  • Providers of essential utilities are prohibited from discontinuing services during the public health emergency.
  • Small businesses can apply for disaster loans through the Small Business Administration to overcome temporary revenue losses
  • The state will interpret Indiana’s unemployment laws to the broadest extent possible to cover Hoosiers who are out of work because of COVID-19.
  • No residential eviction proceedings or foreclosure actions may be initiated during the public health emergency.
  • The commissioner of the Department of Insurance will request that insurers institute a 60-day moratorium on policy cancellations for non-payment of premiums.
  • To limit the number of in-branch transactions, late fees will be waived for several driver’s licenses and identification card renewals, vehicle registrations, titles, and certain other transactions.
  • Mental health professionals are permitted to practice via telemedicine.
For a complete list actions the Governor has taken to protect Hoosiers click HERE
 

Across the state, Hoosiers are all in this together — making changes as we work to slow the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19. It’s all about keeping Hoosiers safe…especially our most vulnerable Hoosiers (and “flattening the curve,” as the experts say).

Governor Holcomb — working continuously with the Indiana State Department of Health, top medical professionals from across the state and nation, and local, state and federal partners that are working together on this — wanted us to share a few guidelines with you in this week’s One Indiana to help you stay healthy during this global pandemic.
  • Take more time at home.
    • Following Governor Holcomb & the CDC’s directive, large gatherings should be postponed.
    • If possible, work from home — and consider videoconferencing for meetings.
    • If you have to be out, practice safe social distancing.
  • Say hello with an elbow bump instead of a handshake.
  • Wash your hands!
    • Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
    • Here’s a Hoosier way to make sure you’re washing long enough.
    • If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Make sure to disinfect and clean all frequently touched surfaces – phones, keyboards, light switches, doorknobs, etc.
  • If you’re sick, stay home.
    • Call ahead before visiting your doctor.
    • Seek medical attention if your condition worsens.

As Governor Holcomb said, it’ll take all of us — all of us — each doing our part to keep Hoosiers healthy and safe during this outbreak.

You can get the most up-to-date information on Indiana’s coronavirus response at Indiana State Department of Health’s website.
 (information from 03/18/20 Holcomb Crew Update)

 Counting everyone once, in the right place:
(from 03/20/20 News Updates)

The 2020 Census will provide a snapshot of our nation, including our population and much more. The results, collected once a decade, help determine how billions of dollars in federal funding flow into states and communities each year.

Census information helps businesses, researchers and communities make informed decisions about their futures. Identifying a community’s needs for things like a new fire department, more funding for school lunches or new roads are just a portion of what this information can tell us.

By April 1, every home will receive directions on how to respond to a short questionnaire, and participation is mandated by the U.S. Constitution. You will have three options for responding: online, by phone or by email.

The 2020 Census marks the first time you’ll have the option to respond online, and even on mobile devices. Workers will also be going door-to-door in some communities. Click here for the list of the questions asked, and watch a short video to see how your data is secured.

Auto Repairs: This is the Perfect Time to Get Your Car in Tip-Top Shape

by JOE ‘JACK” WALLACE

It was a relief to see that the service departments of automobile dealerships and independent auto repair outlets were included on the list of essential services.

Knowing this, I decided to get some deferred maintenance done since my mechanic is only 2 miles from my home. I called for a quote and got it back pronto.  I accepted the quote and drove the car over for some work. The shops are open but do not appear to have much to do.  I personally overheard a conversation at a local mechanic shop where the staff was being advised that their hours on a given day were not to exceed 6.5 hours. Now I am looking for more work to have done because these people need work.

After driving over, instead of getting a ride home from the shop, I decided to walk the 2 miles back and get some outdoor exercise that really improves my mental health in times like these.  I will be expecting a call this afternoon to come to pick my car up with a brand new set of brake shoes.  I could have put this off but this is the perfect time to do the work.  This is a win-win solution.  My car is updated and my favorite shop kept a mechanic on the payroll for another day.

Those of you who are able and secure, please consider getting all of your deferred maintenance done to help out the essential service workers who fix our cars and keep us mobile.

EPA Announces Enforcement Discretion Policy for COVID-19 Pandemic

0
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is mindful of the health and safety of the public, as well as our staff, and those of Federal Agencies, State and Local Governments, Tribes, Regulated Entities, Contractors, and Non-governmental Organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The agency is taking these important considerations into account as we all continue our work to protect human health and the environment. Accordingly, EPA is announcing a temporary policy regarding EPA enforcement of environmental legal obligations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
EPA’s temporary enforcement discretion policy applies to civil violations during the COVID-19 outbreak. The policy addresses different categories of noncompliance differently. For example, under the policy EPA does not expect to seek penalties for noncompliance with routine monitoring and reporting obligations that are the result of the COVID-19 pandemic but does expect operators of public water systems to continue to ensure safety of our drinking water supplies. The policy also describes the steps that regulated facilities should take to qualify for enforcement discretion.
“EPA is committed to protecting human health and the environment, but recognizes challenges resulting from efforts to protect workers and the public from COVID-19 may directly impact the ability of regulated facilities to meet all federal regulatory requirements,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “This temporary policy is designed to provide enforcement discretion under the current, extraordinary conditions while ensuring facility operations continue to protect human health and the environment.”
The temporary policy makes it clear that EPA expects regulated facilities to comply with regulatory requirements, where reasonably practicable, and to return to compliance as quickly as possible. To be eligible for enforcement discretion, the policy also requires facilities to document decisions made to prevent or mitigate noncompliance and demonstrate how the noncompliance was caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This policy does not provide leniency for intentional criminal violations of law.

The policy does not apply to activities that are carried out under Superfund and RCRA Corrective Action enforcement instruments. EPA will address these matters in separate communications.

EPA’s policy will apply retroactively beginning on March 13, 2020. EPA will assess the continued need for and scope of this temporary policy on a regular basis and will update it if EPA determines modifications are necessary. In order to provide fair and sufficient notice to the public, EPA will post a notification here at least 7 days prior to terminating this temporary policy.

To read the EPA Policy on Enforcement during the COVID-19 outbreak: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/enforcement-policy-guidance-publications.

Members of the public can help protect our environment by identifying and reporting environmental violations. Learn more here: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/report-environmental-violation-general-information.

What To Do If You Bought A Ticket For An Event Canceled Due To Coronavirus

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today offered guidance to consumers who purchased tickets to events that have been canceled or postponed in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“Hoosiers who were looking forward to gathering with friends and enjoying concerts, sporting events and other activities with their peers have surely been disappointed by this wave of cancellations and postponements,” Attorney General Hill said. “To make the best of this difficult situation, we want to help consumers obtain any refunds or other remedies that are available to them.”

If you have issues securing remedies promised by the entity from which you bought your tickets, the Office of the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division may be able to help you. Here’s what consumers should know:

  • Consumers who purchased tickets for events should consult the terms and conditions of their purchases to determine whether the purchases are refundable. If you are not sure, contact the venue where you purchased the ticket in an effort get the remedy you are looking for.
  • In circumstances where the terms being offered by the entity are not what was previously advertised, report those issues to the Attorney General using our online complaint form.
  • Consumers who see unexpected charges related to a cancellation should first contact the company. If that is not successful, contact your credit card company. Then file a complaint with the Attorney General using our online complaint form.

If you have questions for the Office’s Consumer Protection Division, you may call 1-800-382-5516.

AG Curtis Hill: Be wary of work-from-home scams during coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today warned Hoosiers to beware of work-from-home scams during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“Fraudsters have long tried to make money by offering bogus work-from-home opportunities,” Attorney General Hill said. “Typically, these scammers lure would-be victims to spend money up front by falsely promising future earnings.”

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reports that many fraudsters are currently using illegal robocalls to make such pitches. Work-from-home scams might also come via emails, websites or print publications. Learn more at the FTC website.

“Obviously, people are particularly susceptible to these kinds of tactics during the current health crisis,” Attorney General Hill said, “when many individuals are already staying home and sometimes facing layoffs or job uncertainties.”

Anyone receiving an automated call from an unknown source offering a work-from-home opportunity is best-advised to hang up immediately, Attorney General Hill said.

Common “opportunities” supposedly available include starting an internet business, stuffing envelopes, craftwork, rebate processing, medical billing, undercover shopping/dining, or illegitimate multilevel marketing.

The FTC’s Business Opportunity Rule requires many sellers of work-from-home opportunities to supply a one-page disclosure that identifies the seller; certain legal actions involving the seller; refund and cancellation policies; a separate earnings claim statement (if making specific promises about how much one might earn); and a list of references. These disclosures are required seven days before an offeree signs a contract or makes any payments.

If a seller offers a disclosure, one should review it closely and independently research the company. One should consider asking specific questions about the job duties; the nature and frequency of compensation; and any costs that the at-home worker is expected to pay in advance.

On March 25, 2020, Evansville Police Department officers were dispatched to 1825 Conlin Avenue in reference to check welfare. The caller reported Michael Meador had made a statement that he wanted to die with all his children. The caller stated they were concerned with Meador`s health and mental state and had information that Meador was in possession of an explosive from a former military friend and that the explosive was located in his backpack which was inside the residence.  

When officers arrived at the address, Meador was located in the driveway of the home. Meador advised the officers he had simulator explosives in a backpack inside the home. They were described by him as large fireworks.  Once it was determined there was an explosive device in the home all the residents were taken out of the home and moved down the street. The Evansville Police Department Hazardous Device Unit (HDU) was called to the scene to investigate.  HDU officers located the backpack and recovered four devices inside.  

Meador advised HDU that his wife and three children recently drove to Florida for vacation. He said that he got into an argument with his wife and she left Florida and returned home to Colorado. Meador stayed in Florida with his three children.  At a later time, he began driving back to Colorado. Meador stated he stopped at a military friend’s home in Georgia and his friend gave him the explosive devices. Meador advised he transported the devices from Georgia to Indiana in the bed of his truck. He stopped in Evansville to visit his family and planned on continuing back to Colorado. 

The devices located included three military-ordnance burst charges and one military-use smoke grenade. Possession of these types of explosive devices pose a danger when not handled properly, are not generally found outside the military and illegal to possess across the country. The Evansville Police Department takes finding these devices seriously; our professional Hazardous Devices Unit is charged with removing such items when called upon. The suspect was charged with Possession of a Destructive Device. If you are aware of items like these in the (illegal) possession of others, please report them to law enforcement by calling 911 or the WeTip line at 1-800-782-7463.  

Meador was charged with Possession, Transportation, Delivery of a Destructive Device (L5) and booked into the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center.
