Rep. Messer to Donate Pay During Shutdown to Indiana Pro-Life Charities

0

Rep. Luke Messer (IN-06) today announced he will donate his pay for the duration of the government shutdown to Indiana pro-life charities.

“The House did its job and voted to keep the government open,” Messer said. “Now, the Senate needs to end the filibuster and put aside the partisan political games. I will be donating my pay during the shutdown to Indiana pro-life charities.”

Messer sent a letter to the Congressional Administrative Office asking for his pay to be withheld during the shutdown. View and download the letter here.

BREAKING NEWS: Donnelly Says He Will Donate Shutdown Paycheck To Charity

1

JANUARY 20TH, 2018  WARREN KORFF INDIANA -News Director for 44News in Evansville, IN.

Indiana U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly was one of only 5 Democrats in the Senate to cross party lines and vote in favor of a bill to keep the government running. On the other side of the aisle, Kentucky Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul were two of only 5 Republicans to vote against it. The bill failed on a 50-49 vote late Friday, which essentially shuts down the U.S. Government.
Earlier Friday the House voted in favor of the bill. All members of the House from the Southwestern Indiana, Southeastern Illinois, and Western Kentucky voted in favor of it.

Failure to pass bill cuts off funding to various agencies, but Congressmen and Senators will be paid during the shutdown.

Donnelly says he will donate all of his take home pay during the shutdown to a charities in Indiana. At this point he has not said what charities those might be, but during the 2013 shutdown Donnelly donated his pay to 10 different food banks around the state.

Women’s basketball clipped by Redbirds

Six Purple Aces finish with five or more points, including a team-high eight by Hannah Noe

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – After getting off to a hot start, the University of Evansville women’s basketball team cooled-off in a 67-43 loss to Illinois State as the Purple Aces hosted their annual We Back Pat game on Friday night inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

“I liked the start we got out to. I thought even though we missed some looks, missed some passes, and some wide-open easy baskets, I still thought we had good control of the game and the gameplan was flowing early on and then the wheels fell off,” said Aces head coach Matt Ruffing. “You have to give credit to Illinois State and their coaching staff. Their kids played hard. Our group has to find a way and have a passion when they play and we have to start making adjustments.”

The Aces were led by graduate guard Hannah Noe who tallied eight points and grabbed a pair of rebounds. Five other Aces scored five or more points in the game, including seven points off the bench by sophomore Crimson Jones. For the Redbirds, Hannah Green led the way with a game-high 22 points and nine rebounds, while Katrina Beck chipped-in 17 points of her own.

After Illinois State jumped out to a 4-2 lead early, the Aces went on a 10-2 run to grab a 12-6 advantage with 2:44 left in the first quarter. The Redbirds responded with a pair of free throws and back-to-back threes by Green to close the quarter and take a 14-12 lead after the opening 10 minutes.

In the second quarter, the Redbirds pushed their lead as large as 15 with a 17-4 margin in the second period. The Aces hit a cold streak during the second quarter as Evansville shot just 1-10 from the field and Illinois State found a rhythm shooting 6-16 (37.5%) as the Redbirds carried a 31-16 lead into the halftime break.
The third quarter was once again marked by runs as an 8-0 spree by Illinois State midway through the frame saw the Redbirds increase their lead to 23 at 45-22 with 5:25 remaining in the third period. Evansville cut its deficit to 20 twice in the final four minutes of the quarter, but each time the Redbirds had an answer as Illinois State held a 53-30 lead after 30 minutes of play.

Evansville held firm in the fourth quarter as the Aces kept pace with the Redbirds. The Aces worked their way back from a 27-point deficit cutting the Redbirds’ lead as low as 22 in the fourth quarter as Illinois State captured the 67-43 win. In the final period, ISU earned a slim 14-13 advantage on the scoreboard while Illinois State’s hot-shooting was doused as the Redbirds shot 26.7% (4-15) from the field to 33.3% (5-15) for the Purple Aces.

For the second-straight game, Evansville limited its turnovers as the Aces recorded just 11 on the night. In the game, Illinois State shot 39.1% (25-64) from the field to 27.3% (15-55) for Evansville.

The Aces wrap-up their home weekend on Sunday when Evansville hosts Bradley at 1 p.m. inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

House Passes Sullivan’s Bill To Cut Red Tape For Higher Education

0

 The Indiana House of Representatives today voted unanimously in support of State Rep. Holli Sullivan‘s (R-Evansville) legislation to streamline administrative operations for public colleges and universities in Indiana.

Sullivan said House Bill 1074 would remove red tape and simplify the process for colleges to sell real estate they no longer need, while still maintaining fiscal oversight.

“Right now, Indiana colleges are put through a burdensome process when they try to sell property,” Sullivan said. “This proposal outlines a simplified procedure, making it easier for schools to readjust property holdings to match their enrollment numbers.”

Sullivan said this proposal would also streamline the use of tax dollars invested in higher education, create a student success program for 21st Century Scholars and expand access to Workforce Ready Grants for students returning to school.

“Representative Sullivan’s bill is an important step forward in preparing more Hoosiers with the skills needed to advance in the 21st Century economy,” said Commissioner Teresa Lubbers of the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. “I am grateful for her leadership to ensure that more high school graduates succeed in college and more adults are able to gain a high-quality workforce certificate.”

House Bill 1074 can now move to the Senate for consideration. To learn more about this legislation, visit iga.in.gov.
