Embattled Attorney General Curtis Hill Announced That He’s Running For Re-election

Attorney General Curtis Hill Is Running For Re-election 

Over the last three years, I have worked to fulfill my pledge to Hoosiers: from cracking down on violent criminals to protecting the most vulnerable in our society. Standing for what’s right is harder than ever, but I do it every day with courage and conviction as Attorney General, and I’m just getting started. That’s why, today, I am announcing my re-election campaign for Attorney General. Indiana needs strength, courage, and bold conservative leadership,” Curtis Hill said.

“At a time when freedom and our way of life are under attack, I’ll continue to work with President Trump, and others, on important issues facing our nation and state. I’ll never back down from partisan attacks, the media, and even Republicans embarrassed to defend our values,” Hill added.

Curtis Hill was elected Indiana’s 43rd Attorney General in 2016 with the most votes received by any candidate in the state’s history and has served since 2017. He has led on issues important to Hoosier families such as protecting unborn, investing in anti-violence measures, and providing much-needed resources to the police for drug interdiction. Hill has built a network of staff and volunteers across Indiana that continue to share his message and vision with Hoosiers leading up to the November 2020 General Election.

State’s Coffers Start To Fill From World Series, NFL Bets

State’s coffers start to fill from World Series, NFL bets

INDIANAPOLIS—Indiana’s bet on sports wagering is paying off, at least for state revenues.

The state took in more than $1 million in new revenue in October, the first full month of legalized sports wagering in Indiana, according to the October gaming revenue report by the Indiana Gaming Commission.

During October, the report states, Hoosiers bet $90,438,994.88 on sporting events. More than $41 million of those bets were on football, with the NFL and NCAA football seasons well underway. Another $10 million was wagered on baseball during the Major League Baseball playoffs and World Series.

Sports wagering was signed into law by Gov. Eric Holcomb in May, with the first legal bets allowed to be placed at casinos in September and online sports betting rolled out on Oct. 3.

In September, there were about $34.5 million in bets placed by Hoosiers. Matt Bell, president, and CEO of the Casino Association of Indiana, said online sports betting, which allows someone to place a bet even from their smartphone, caused that figure to more than double in October.

“With the onset of October, we saw the onset of mobile wagering as well. So, I think we saw a traumatic increase in the overall handle (wagers) and also in taxable AGR (adjusted gross revenue),” Bell said.

“We think it is a great beginning,” he said. “It demonstrates clearly that there is a lot enthusiasm for a legal, regulated and transparent opportunity to place wagers on the part of the Hoosier consumer.”

The bets translated to $1,096,160 in revenue for the state through taxes. The current tax rate for the state is around 9.5%, a rate that makes Indiana “competitive” with other states, said Sen. Mark Messmer, R-Jasper.

“The tax rates that were put into the bill when the bill was in the House were competitive with tax structures across the country,” Messmer said.

Sen. Jon Ford, R-Terre Haute, also said this tax rate is just right for the state to continue its goal of stopping illegal betting in the state.

“I believe that if we are going to bring the illegal market into a regulated market, we need to keep the hurdles low and one of the hurdles is taxation,” Ford said. “So I think keeping the taxation low will allow us to bring more of that illegal sports wagering into the regulated marketplace.”

Rep. Gregory Porter, D-Indianapolis, said the current returns are exceeding expectations, calling it “a nice little push in revenue for the state of Indiana.”

However, Porter wants the state to focus now on how that revenue is used.

“What are we doing with those dollars?” Porter asked. “Are we going to put it into a general fund to continue to look at $2.2 billion dollar surplus, or what will we really do with those dollars that we generate from gaming?”

EPA Wraps Up Historic Recycling Innovation Fair

0

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hosted the first-ever America Recycles Innovation Fair featuring entrepreneurs from across the recycling system showcasing their innovative products, services, outreach, and technologies. At the fair, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler, the National Waste and Recycling Association (NWRA) President Darrell Smith and NWRA Board Chair Ben Harvey presented challenge coins to veterans recognizing their service and commitment to environmental protection.

“I am proud to help launch the first America Recycles Innovation Fair that brought together entrepreneurs from across the recycling system to showcase their innovative products, services, outreach and technologies,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Under the Trump Administration, EPA is working diligently to identify market-based strategies and innovative ideas to create a more sustainable recycling system in America and across the globe. I look forward to continuing our work with our partners to improve infrastructure, develop secondary markets, and more effectively communicate with the public about addressing the entire lifecycle of recycled materials.”

During the Innovation Fair, youth leaders from One More Generation spoke about their campaign to reduce plastic straws.

The innovation fair was hosted by EPA in partnership with the Institute for Scrap Recycling Industries, Keep America Beautiful, the Solid Waste Association of North America, and The Recycling Partnership.

EPA is collaborating with stakeholders from across the recycling system to identify specific actions to address the challenges and opportunities facing the U.S. recycling system. These organizations are committed to leveraging their collective expertise, strengths, and resources to address these challenges and opportunities.

Tomorrow, EPA will convene the second America Recycles Day Summit bringing together organizations from across the recycling system and all levels of government to build on their success over the last year and commit to continuing to work together.Participants will include the original forty-five organizations that signed the America Recycles Pledge on America Recycles Day 2018, along with the over 120 additional organizations that signed the pledge in 2019. Pledge signers represent all aspects of the U.S. recycling system, including representatives from government, the recycling industry, non-profits, corporations and brands, and industry trade associations. Participants will hear from America Recycles workgroup members on progress made to date, have an opportunity to provide input on future actions, and join the America Recycles effort moving forward.
