SULLIVAN AND MCNAMARA SUPPORTS POSTPONING INDIANA’S MAY PRIMARY TO JUNE 2, 2020

SULLIVAN STATEMENT

 STATEHOUSE (March 20, 2020) – “This is a challenging time for our community and the state, and the health and wellbeing of Hoosiers is a top priority. By postponing the primary election one month, the state will have additional time to prepare and plan, and Hoosiers can use the mail-in absentee ballot process to make sure their vote is counted. While we continue to monitor the evolving situation, it is important to remember Hoosiers stand together and we will address this pandemic one step at a time.”

 FOOTNOTE: State Rep. Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville) represents House District 78,
which includes portions of Vanderburgh and Warrick counties.

MCNAMARA STATEMENT

 STATEHOUSE (March 20, 2020) – “Indiana is facing unprecedented times that require decisive leadership. Governor Holcomb and Secretary Lawson are keeping Hoosiers’ health and safety a top priority by moving the primary election to June. We will also maintain the integrity of our election process while making sure Hoosiers have access to mail-in absentee ballots. Communities across the state are feeling the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, and our local, state and federal leaders will continue taking proactive steps to avoid spreading the virus further.”

 FOOTNOTE: State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) represents House District 76, which includes portions of Posey and Vanderburgh counties.

 

 

AG Curtis Hill Reports Unlawful Eviction, Foreclosure Proceedings Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

0

With the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forcing thousands of Hoosiers into financial hardships, Attorney General Curtis Hill asked consumers today to file complaints with the Office of the Attorney General should eviction or foreclosure proceedings initiate or continue during this public health crisis.

Gov. Eric Holcomb issued an executive order Thursday that prohibits the initiation or continuation of eviction or foreclosure proceedings until Indiana’s public health emergency is terminated. However, the order does not relieve individuals from having to pay their mortgages or rent during this time.

Attorney General Hill encouraged Hoosiers who are unlawfully subjected to these proceedings during the ongoing public health emergency to file a complaint with the Office’s Consumer Protection Division.

“The coronavirus pandemic has left thousands of Hoosiers temporarily unemployed and facing financial distress,” Attorney General Hill said. “It’s important for Hoosier renters and homeowners to be aware of their rights during these difficult times. If you are unlawfully subjected to eviction or foreclosure proceedings during this public health emergency, contact my office. We may be able to help you.”

If you have issues paying your mortgage or are already in foreclosure proceedings, the Office may be able to assist you. The Office also has the ability to assist tenants with certain issues such as misrepresentations about a property’s condition and failures to provide specific disclosures.

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS

Gavel Gamut By Jim Redwine

Let’s say you have a knotty problem you would like solved, a Gordian Knot type problem for example. Would you be satisfied with Alexander the Great (356-323 BCE) approach? I think not and I think Alexander’s personal tutor, the great problem solver Aristotle (384-322 BCE), would have reproved his famous pupil for hacking the knot in two instead of untying it. Alexander did provide a simple analysis of a complex problem but he did not solve the problem; he only avoided it.

As most of us have unfortunately experienced: for every complex problem, there is a simple wrong answer. Tough problems are tough because they are complex. Complex situations almost always require hard work, imagination, intelligence and often goodwill to resolve. If the first reaction to a hard problem is to seek someone else to blame or if assessing blame is more important than finding a solution, a solution may not be found or may result in even more harm while an effective remedy awaits.

When it comes to addressing problems I respectfully suggest to you, Gentle Reader, that there are at least two large categories of potential problem solvers: (1) those people who through meanness, laziness or ignorance claim the problem cannot, or should not, be solved; and (2) those people who with an open mind and goodwill at least try to find a solution.

We have all unfortunately encountered many officious persons who revel in their occasional positions of power over others and deny help just because they can. Then too, we have all been blessed, and maybe surprised, by a chance encounter with a person who believes if they can help they should. Life is pretty much defined for us by whether we run into more people who are haters or helpers, selfish or selfless, grifters or givers, sophists or sages, or as with our most pressing current problem: (1) public servants and consensus builders; or (2) those who yell “Fire!” in our country’s theater instead of helping to put it out.

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” March 21, 2020

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

New Date Scheduled for Annual Right to Life Banquet

0

As the mission of Right to Life of Southwest Indiana (RTLSWIN) seeks to protect life, the RTLSWIN Board of Directors has voted to postpone the Annual Banquet until Thursday September 10, 2020.

“With the pandemic of the CO-VID19 (Corona virus) rapidly spreading and with sanctions changing daily,  wisdom would have us err on the side of safety to help protect the health and life of our donors, staff, guests and workers at Old National Events Plaza servicing the banquet,” said RTL’s executive director Mary Ellen Van Dyke.

All reservations, corporate sponsors, ticket holders and ad book placements will transfer to the new date; and, every effort will be made to keep the proposed programming in place.

ADOPT A PET

Tater is a female black Lab mix! She’s 13 years old. She was dumped at the VHS. Her people stuck her inside the lobby door, and then left without so much as a word. So we don’t know a ton about Tater – but we do know that she is wonderful, loves everyone and everything, and she really deserves a home! Her adoption fee is $110. If you’re a senior citizen, ask about our Senior to Senior program. She’s spayed, microchipped, and ready to go home today! Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 or adoptions@vhslifesaver.org for details!

 

Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services offices to close to the public to protect the health and safety of clients and staff

0

Offices will be closed to the public at the end of business today. Services remain available for all Hoosiers by telephone and other virtual options.

In the interest of taking every possible measure to protect Hoosier health and safety, the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration will close its Bureau of Developmental Disability Services and Vocational Rehabilitation Services offices to the public at the end of business today until further notice. The decision was made as FSSA and state health leaders consider the best options for promoting social distancing to contain the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

While offices will be closed to the public, DDRS services will continue for any new or current clients. BDDS and VR service delivery will continue. All scheduled appointments will take place via telephone or other virtual options. Clients may also continue to call and send documents to BDDS and VR offices.
