Terre Haute Would Get Casino As House Ways And Means Committee Approves Gambling Expansion

April 9, 2019

INDIANAPOLIS –– Amendments to a bill that expands gambling in Indiana cuts in half the price tag to move two Gary casinos inland and creates a competitive bidding process for a new Terre Haute casino license.

Rep. Todd Huston, R-Fishers and co-chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, amended Senate Bill 552 Tuesday to lower the original price of $100 million to $50 million to move the Gary casinos. The bill passed out of the committee by a 17-6 margin.

The two casinos are owned by Spectacle Entertainment and located on Lake Michigan. Under the bill, they are permitted to move inland but the owner has to give up one of the gaming licenses, in effect forcing the two casinos to merge.

 

“If they want to move, that action can only happen with us taking action,” Huston said. “And there is a value to that move. They wouldn’t be moving if there wasn’t a value.”

If Spectacle decides to open a new one inland closer to the interstate, the company will be allowed to have 2,674 gaming positions––an increase from the 1,684 positions at the two current casinos. This would potentially make the Gary casino the largest in Indiana.

Indiana currently has 11 casinos and two horse-racing casinos. Depending on whether Spectacle moves, the number of casinos could grow to 12 or 13 under the legislation with a new Terre Haute location.

Before the bill was amended Tuesday, Terre Haute would have only gotten the license to build a new casino if Spectacle gave up its second Gary license. Now, Huston’s amendment creates a separate license for Terre Haute and it includes a twist––companies will have to bid on the license.

“We’ve separated the Terre Haute discussion from the Spectacle discussion,” Huston said. “If the operator in Gary wants to move, that’s their decision based upon the parameters that we provide within the legislation.”

The legislation will create a Vigo County advisory board to consider company candidates and choose three to participate in the competitive bidding. The process will also work with two bidders, but Huston said there has to be more than one candidate chosen or the selection process has to start over.

The minimum bid is $25 million, which Huston said is a good number to start at based on what he’s heard.

Another provision of the massive bill is the legalization of sports gambling, which has virtually passed through the General Assembly with little discussion from the public or lawmakers. The amended bill will now levy a 9.5 percent tax rate on sports bets starting in September. Mobile sports betting is not included in the legislation.

Democrats proposed a number of amendments in committee and most were shut down, including proposals to provide more financial support to the surrounding Gary communities that may be negatively affected by the casino’s expansion.

On sports gambling, Rep. Cherrish Pryor, D-Indianapolis, offered an amendment to protect college athletes. Pryor said with sports wagering being legal, people may be betting a lot of money on students, and she proposed a portion of tax money from the bets go to the student-athletes who are injured to help pay for insurance. The amendment was rejected along party lines.

“Everybody is going to make money off these kids,” Pryor said. “We need to figure out a way to help these students.”

The bill advances to the House for further action.

‘Stand Your Ground’ Expansion Bill Advances

‘Stand Your Ground’ Expansion Bill Advances

APRIL 9TH, 2019 MEGAN DIVENTI INDIANA

0 Twitter

Indiana’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ law could be expanding if a bill moving through the Statehouse becomes law.

House Bill 1284 was created in response to a 2017 case in Indianapolis where a woman shot and killed a man who was attacking a police officer outside her home. Prosecutors say what she did was legal, but she was then sued by the man’s family.

The bill is one step closer to becoming law and if that happens cases like this would turn out much differently in Indiana.

“I need to do something to protect me and my kids,” says Mary Ellen Johnson, gun owner.

For Johnson, a scary incident two years ago led her to become a gun owner.

“I saw a man in my window and a few days later his drivers license was by my door and it was bent up like he had tried to get in,” says Johnson. “I was scared to death to come home at night from work. I was scared to having my kids there thinking that maybe he had gotten in the home.”

Indiana law currently provides immunity for justifiable use of force for people protecting themselves or their property. It also protects from criminal penalties, but not civil.

But this bill would change that by keeping people from facing civil lawsuits in these types of cases.

“It is scary to think about having to use your weapon and possibly getting sued, but it’s scarier to be killed or anything can happen so I think it’ll make people feel a little bit easier about if they have to get in that type of situation,” says Johnson.

The bill cleared the Senate Monday 42-7 and even though most lawmakers support the legislation many think it’s going too far.

“Some people I know that they’re trying to portray the opposition they are trying to portray it as vigilantism it will allow that,” says Rep. Jim Lucas, (R) Indiana. “It will allow people to just shoot and ask questions later, but nothing could be further from the truth.”

As for Johnson, she says defending her home is important.

“Anybody that feels like they can’t use their firearm in an unsafe situation may have a little more confidence now to protect themselves,” says Lucas.

“My hope is that the bill does what it was designed to do and protect Hoosiers from frivolous lawsuits in a justified use of force,” says Rep. Lucas.

Lucas says he anticipates the bill to go to the conference committee later this week or early next week.

Criminal Penalties For Revenge Porn May Become Law

Criminal Penalties For Revenge Porn May Become Law

INDIANA LAWYER
April 9, 2019
Katie Stancombe

 

Efforts to hold revenge porn perpetrators criminally accountable advanced Monday after the Indiana House of Representatives voted 95-0 in favor of legislation that would criminalize the posting of non-consensual pornography.

Senate Bill 243 defines an intimate image as a photograph, digital image or video that depicts sexual intercourse, other sexual conduct or the exhibition of the uncovered buttocks, genitals or female breast.

Rep. Mike Speedy, R-Indianapolis, said SB 243 makes it a crime for someone to distribute such an image with intent to harm, harass, intimidate, threaten or coerce the other person. It would also make it a crime to post the image without the consent of a person depicted in that image, even if that person initially agreed to partake in the image.

Revenge porn perpetrators could be charged with a Class A misdemeanor. A second or subsequent offense would bump that up to a Level 6 felony charge.

The measure initially received skepticism from Sen. Michael Young, R- Indianapolis, who has traditionally held that such matters are civil, not criminal. But the bill has seen little opposition this session.

EVSC School Board Approves Innovative RAMP Initiative

0

The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation School Board approved a first-of-its-kind comprehensive work-based learning program in Indiana that completely embeds high school students within an Evansville-based industry. RAMP, Real-World Application; Maximizing Potential, is a program through EVSC’s OptIN, in partnership with AmeriQual, where students will work side-by-side with industry experts to acquire manufacturing skills that they can use, upon graduation, to acquire a high-wage, high-demand career.

“The collaboration between OptIN and AmeriQual to establish RAMP is truly an innovation in education. It creates an unprecedented learning environment that will increase student hope, engagement and success,” said EVSC Superintendent David Smith. “RAMP will empower students to be successful by teaching not only traditional subject matter, but also provide transferable skills such as the ability to collaborate, think critically, problem solve, communicate effectively and demonstrate ethical practices. All of which are highly sought after by employers.”

Beginning this fall, students in RAMP will work and attend class on the AmeriQual campus on Highway 41 in Evansville. The classroom will be a hybrid where teachers will meet students where they are on the path to graduation. The students’ day will be split between four hours of on-the-job work and four hours of classroom time. This experience will provide students with an opportunity for hands-on learning and the ability to apply what they are learning in the classroom to the real world.

“AmeriQual, like many businesses right now, is always looking for qualified employees to join our team,” said Mirsada Salihovic, vice president of human resources.  “RAMP will allow us to create a pipeline of skilled workers who are already part of our family and who can be successful whether they stay at AmeriQual upon graduation or move on to something else.”

The initial RAMP cohort will include 80 students who will be selected through an application process based on need. The program fulfills the requirements for students to graduate with the opportunity to earn several certifications; including, MSSC Certification, OSHA 10 and a Forklift certification which all lead to high wage high demand careers. Students will get paid for their work and be eligible for attendance and productivity bonuses.

Going forward, the EVSC hopes to expand the program not only within AmeriQual but also work to include additional local companies and businesses.

Students interested in applying for RAMP can visit www.EVSCschools.com/RAMPapply or speak with their school counselor.

What:Paramedic Training (hands-on; live)


When: Thursday, April 11, 9 a.m.


Where: Ivy Tech Community College
3501 N. First Avenue
Room 219

Background: Thursday is the final paramedic training event prior to Ivy Tech students taking the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians Psychomotor Skills Exam on Saturday. The Paramedic Science program prepares students to recognize, assess, and manage medical emergencies in pre-hospital and clinical settings. Includes instruction in emergency surgical procedures; medical triage; rescue operations; patient stabilization, monitoring, and care; drug administration; identification and preliminary diagnosis of diseases and injuries; and professional standards and regulations. There are more than 220 openings annually for positions in this field. Students benefit from 360 hours of clinical experience, 400 hours of an internship using hands-on experiences in actual patient care settings. The curriculum is a careful mix of lecture, demonstration, in-class skill practice sessions and clinical rotations. Through all of these experiences, students obtain the knowledge and skills to allow them to function in the ever changing world of Emergency Medical Services.

The Paramedic Science program is a selective admission program. When students apply to the College, they will be accepted into Healthcare Specialist with a concentration in Paramedic Science while you complete the prerequisite requirements. The Paramedic Science program accepts a limited number of students each year and there is a separate application process.

This year’s class of students are benefitting from the generosity of long-time Ivy Tech Donor Gayle Rood. She is funding the cost of the Psychomotor Skills Exam for students in their final semester. Rood began a scholarship endowment in 2008, in memory of her late husband, Joe.

Joe was certified as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) instructor and as an EMT-Paramedic in 1970. He founded the Wisconsin EMT Association and served as the editor of the Wisconsin EMT Association Journal from 1971 to 1975. In 1975, he moved to College Park, MD, to become the senior instructor and coordinator of EMT training for the University of Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute. Joe joined the staff of Deaconess Hospital in 1977. During his 28-year career at the hospital, he served as Emergency Medical Services Coordinator and a Clinical Quality Improvement Analyst. He also served as the external liaison for emergency communications.
