0

St. Joseph County Prosecutor Kenneth P. Cotter has been elected chairman of the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council Board of Directors. He was elected to the post during the IPAC 2018 Summer Conference in French Lick. Vice chair of the board is now Lisa L. Swaim, Cass County Prosecutor and secretary/treasurer is Anthony Quinn, Dubois County Prosecutor. Washington County Prosecutor Dustin Houchin is the outgoing IPAC Board Chairman.

The 3-day summer conference for county prosecutors and their deputies featured a presentation by Dr. Anna Lembke of Stanford University who discussed her personal experience in treating people dealing with addictions to prescription drugs. She said there is a direct correlation between the massive increase in prescriptions for opioids to the spike in opioid related deaths.

Upon his election, Prosecuting Attorney Kenneth P. Cotter said, “I am honored to serve in this capacity. I look forward to working with the Council, and I believe our work will help citizens in my jurisdiction of St. Joseph County as well as citizens across the state of Indiana.” Cotter took over as the St. Joseph County Prosecutor in 2015 after serving nearly 20 years as a deputy prosecuting attorney (12 of them as a Chief Deputy. He was formerly IPAC Vice Chairman and a member of the Board of Directors. Cotter’s philosophy for prosecution is straight-forward but heartfelt: we need to keep violent criminals off our streets, rehabilitate those who can contribute to our community, and make sure that victims of crimes are always respected.

Elected for a two-term to the board of directors was Delaware County Prosecutor Jeffrey L. Arnold, St. Joseph County Prosecutor Kenneth Cotter, Monroe County Prosecutor Christopher Gaal, Wabash County Prosecutor William Hartley, Jr. and Dubois County Prosecutor Anthony Quinn.

Prosecutors elected to a one-year term on the board of directors were Bruce Aukerman (Vermillion County), Terry Curry (Marion County), Dustin Houchin (Washington County), Daniel Murrie (Daviess County) and Lisa Swaim (Cass County).

CUTLINE: St. Joseph County Prosecutor Kenneth P. Cotter is the new chairman of the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council.

AG Curtis Hill praises federal court’s dismissal of lawsuit against fossil-fuel producers

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill announced today that a 15-state coalition led by Indiana has prevailed in its support of a motion to dismiss a federal lawsuit filed by the cities of San Francisco and Oakland against various energy and manufacturing companies.

The two cities, in the name of the State of California, had claimed that five fossil-fuel-producing corporations were violating “common law” because they contributed to global warming – which, the plaintiffs said, constitutes a “public nuisance.”

In dismissing the lawsuit, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California cited U.S. Supreme Court precedent finding that the Clean Air Act and the Environmental Protection Agency’s corresponding authority to set emission standards have displaced federal common law nuisance claims pertaining to emissions. The district court also cited the separation of powers doctrine, stating that courts should exercise restraint in matters best left to other branches of government.

“The court has affirmed what should be obvious – that California localities cannot dictate national energy policy or curb economic activity that occurs outside California,” Attorney General Hill said. “This decision rightly upholds the principles of federalism and appropriate exercise of judicial authority.”

The dismissal of the lawsuit should be supported even by the most avid of environmentalists, he added.

“This decision had nothing to do with the need to exercise wise stewardship of the environment,” Attorney General Hill said. “We should do everything we can to preserve the natural resources of our planet in as economically effective a way as possible. Rather than overregulating, however, we need to make certain that we educate oncoming generations on appropriate ways to use energy and promote greater efficiencies.”

Indiana was joined in its amicus brief by Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Attached, see the amicus brief filed April 19 as well as the June 25 order dismissing the lawsuit.

MIKE BRAUN STATEMENT ON INSURERS FLEEING INDIANA OBAMACARE MARKET

1
Mike Braun released the following statement on the shrinking healthcare options for Hoosiers in Indiana’s Obamacare exchange:
“Democrats like Senator Donnelly claimed Obamacare would lower premiums and increase coverage options.  Now, with skyrocketing premiums and only two insurers left in Indiana’s Obamacare exchange, we know that was all just talk,” said Mike Braun. “Earlier this month as Senator Donnelly bragged about being the deciding vote for Obamacare, patients in his own county were learning they were losing their in-network coverage.  As usual, when Senator Donnelly decides “Sleepin’ Joe Knows Best,” Hoosiers take the hit.”
“In my own business, I held the line against rising premiums year after year because my plan is based on free-market principles and common sense. Hoosiers deserve options for their care, and that will never happen if we get more top-down, government paternalism from Democrats like Senator Donnelly.”
