2019 IBLC TOWN HALLS TO BEGIN SATURDAY, MAY 18, IN INDIANAPOLIS; CAUCUS PLANS SEVEN STOPS ACROSS INDIANA THROUGH SUMMER

In addition, even though we just finished our work for 2019, the planning already has started for the 2020 legislative session. We want to hear from the people of Indiana what they want to see lawmakers do next year.
“Our town halls have proven to be very popular, and they are invaluable to members of the IBLC in determining what we need to pursue as a legislative agenda,†she continued. “I encourage everyone to join us for these events.â€

Hill denies sexual misconduct in urging dismissal of discipline complaint
Dave Sttaford for www.theindianalawyer.com
Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill responded to his disciplinary complaint by denying he touched the lawmaker or three legislative aides who have accused him of groping them and making unwanted sexual advances at a party marking the end of the 2018 General Assembly session. He also says the disciplinary complaint against him should be dropped.
Hill filed a response Friday to the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission’s complaint. In it, he denied allegations by Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon, D-Munster, that he placed his hand on her bare back, “rubbed his hand down her bare back and grabbed or touched Candelaria Reardon’s buttocks.â€
Candelaria Reardon accused Hill of allegedly groping her at a sine die party in March 2018, at AJ’s Lounge in Indianapolis, to which Hill simply replies “denied†in response to the accusations in his disciplinary complaint filed in March. Likewise, Hill denies the accusations of legislative staff members Gabrielle McLemore, Samantha Lozano and Niki DaSilva, each of whom has alleged that an intoxicated Hill made inappropriate and unwanted sexual advances at the party — accusations that sparked calls for Hill’s resignation from Gov. Eric Holcomb and legislative leaders in both parties.
Hill also seeks in his reply to have the disciplinary complaint against him dismissed. In the response prepared by former disciplinary commission executive director Donald Lundberg and famed Indianapolis criminal defense attorney James Voyles, the AG argues the commission “failed to provide adequate notice to (Hill) of additional allegations or evidence regarding the respondent’s alleged professional misconduct as required by Admission and Discipline Rule 23, Section 10(d).â€
In bringing attorney ethics charges against Hill based on each woman’s accusations, the commission asserted the attorney general committed criminal offenses against each of them that range from Level 6 felony sexual battery to Class B misdemeanor battery. The commission’s ethics case against Hill was filed months after a special prosecutor declined to press criminal charges, despite saying he believed the accusers. An inspector general investigation also cleared Hill of state ethics and criminal charges despite “creepy†behavior.
Hill’s accusers have vowed to sue Hill, the AG’s office and the state.
Just as Hill has vehemently resisted calls for his resignation in the wake of the allegations, he also continues to attempt to minimize public actions he took from the AG’s office after news of the accusations broke last summer. For instance, Hill responds to the commission’s assertion that as chief legal officer for the state he has a heightened duty of ethical conduct by arguing this is merely an aggravating factor. “To the extent any answer is required, (Hill) denies this averment,†the reply says.
Hill uses that same response to the commission’s assertion that he initially denied the accusers’ claims to legislative leaders then “admitted repeatedly that he had too much to drink or words to that effect. Thereafter, (Hill) changed his story and claimed that he was not inebriated.â€
He also uses the same reply to the commission’s assertion that he “has held public news events in his role as Attorney General in which he denounced the allegations as untrue and implied the victims falsified their accounts. Later, (Hill) portrayed the victims as mistaken or misperceiving his conduct.â€
Former Indiana Supreme Court Justice Myra Selby has been appointed as the hearing officer overseeing Hill’s disciplinary complaint.
Evansville earns points on final day of MVC Championships
Saving their most impressive day for last, the University of Evansville men’s and women’s track and field teams each recorded points on the third and final day of the 2019 Missouri Valley Conference Championships in Terre Haute, Ind.
The Aces concluded the championships with six points and a ninth-place finish on the men’s side and a 10th-place finish with 3.5 points for Evansville’s women.
Closing her sophomore season, Anna Lowry put together a magnificent performance in the women’s 5,000 meters. Lowry demolished her program record by more than 30 seconds, earning three points for Evansville with a time of 17:09.18, finishing in sixth.
Evansville’s other half point came in the women’s pole vault competition. Freshman McKenna Sapp finished in a tie for eighth place, clearing a height of 3.4 meters to provide .5 point for the Aces.
Securing a strong finish in the women’s 4×100 meter relay, Evansville nearly added more points to its total. Led by a team of Taiza Alexander, McKenna Sapp, Skylar Tucker, and Monica Watkins, the Aces captured a ninth-place finish among 10 teams in the relay, just one spot out of points position.
On the men’s side, Evansville earned a point in the men’s 4×100 meter relay. The team of Brendon Smith, Greg King, Alan Kerstiens, and Nick Ryan finished eighth with a time of 44.26 seconds.
A strong performance in the men’s 4×400 meter relay captured three more points for the Aces. The Evansville contingent of Brendon Smith, Stanley Chepchieng, Peter Blok, and Chris Backer beat out three MVC opponents, crossing the finish line with a time of 3:26.81 in sixth place.
Chepchieng added another pair of points for the Aces in the men’s triple jump competition. The junior recorded a jump of 13.91 meters, earning Chepchieng a seventh-place finish and picking up two more points for Evansville.
Aces Baseball celebrates Senior Day with thrilling comeback win
The University of Evansville baseball team sent their seniors off in style in their Braun Stadium finale, rallying past Missouri State 4-3, earning a big Missouri Valley Conference series victory.
“What a great win for our seniors”, said Aces head coach Wes Carroll. “It started on the hill, with our pitchers delivering clutch performances. We got some great defensive performances in the field. And then down the stretch, our batters had some great competitive at-bats.”
The Aces sent out senior left-hander Alex Weigand, who delivered four shutout innings to open the game. However, his Bears counterpart, Davis Schwab matched Weigand, as the game remained scoreless going into the fifth frame.
That’s when Missouri State would finally break through on Weigand, taking the lead in the fifth, then adding to their pad in the sixth inning, building a 2-0 advantage. For the day, Weigand went five innings, allowing two runs on six hits, while striking out five. The Bears would tack on one more in the top of the seventh, putting Evansville in a 3-0 hole.
However, after being held scoreless through six frames, the Aces offense would come to life, loading up the bases, then pushing across their first run when A.J. Fritz grounded into a double play. Later in the inning, freshman pinch hitter Eric Roberts delivered a clutch two-out RBI single through the right side of the infield, driving in senior third baseman Sam Troyer, cutting the Missouri State lead to 3-2.
Then in the eighth, Evansville would load up the bases, then a wild pitch would allow junior shortstop Craig Shepherd would race home with the game-tying run. Freshman second baseman Danny Borgstrom would follow that up with a sacrifice fly to left, bringing in sophomore first baseman Tanner Craig, giving the Aces the lead, 4-3.
Senior right-hander Austin Allinger (1-2) would come in to put down a Missouri State rally in the top of the eighth. Then in the ninth, after the Bears opened the inning with a walk and a single, Allinger would halt MSU in its tracks, getting the final three outs of the game.
The victory improves Evansville’s overall record to 23-24 and 10-8 in Missouri Valley Conference play, while Missouri State falls to 16-34 and 7-11 in league play.
The Aces now hit the road to close out the regular season on the road, beginning Tuesday night at Belmont, then wrapping up the season at Illinois State next weekend.
