State Files Lawsuit to Level the Sales-Tax Playing Field Between Hoosier-Based and Out-of-State Businesses

0

Today at Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb’s request,  Attorney General Curtis Hill filed a lawsuit on behalf of Indiana’s Department of Revenue asking a court to find House Enrolled Act 1129 (Ind. Code § 6-2.5-2-1) constitutional. The new law, which became effective July 1, 2017, seeks to level the playing field between Hoosier-based businesses and those outside our state that do business here through online sales. HEA 1129 requires these out-of-state businesses to collect and remit the same sales/use taxes as Hoosier-based businesses.

The Indiana General Assembly enacted HEA 1129, and Gov. Holcomb signed it into law, with full awareness that the United States Supreme Court ruled in 1992 that out-of-state retailers need not collect and remit sales/use taxes.

“In light of the rapid evolution and capabilities of software and technology, the incredible growth of online sales in recent years and other factors, it’s time for the Supreme Court to revisit and overturn this ruling,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Hoosier-based businesses need the ability to compete on a level playing field as soon as possible.”

The legislature included, and the state’s lawsuit relies upon, a provision in HEA 1129 that allows Indiana to put into motion a legal process to challenge the 1992 Supreme Court ruling.  HEA 1129 also calls for the court(s) to act “expeditiously.”

The full lawsuit is attached.

Startups are the lifeblood of our economy – creating change, jobs, new products, dreams, and disruption.

This presentation is designed for entrepreneurs who are looking to start a company as well as those in the process of building one.  Come see exactly what you need to do to get your business up and running and protect your valuable intellectual property rights.

YESTERYEAR: Hill’s Snappy Service BY Pat Sides

0

This small diner opened in 1941 at Main Street and Riverside Drive, not long before this photo was shot. It housed Hill’s Snappy Service restaurant, part of a popular Midwest chain that had begun to expand into Indiana cities in the 1930s. The building’s distinctive style and diminutive size contrasted starkly with the older, more traditional commercial structures surrounding it. Hill’s replaced a building that was damaged by the Great Flood of 1937, and the diner’s tiles and curves resembled the Art Deco style of the Greyhound Bus terminal at Third and Sycamore, which had opened two years earlier. Hill’s was already operating three other restaurants in Evansville when the location on Main Street opened.

USI Volleyball opens 2017 in Florida

0
University of Southern Indiana Volleyball begins the 2017 season when it competes at the University of West Florida Hampton Inn-vitational Friday and Saturday in Pensacola, Florida.

The Screaming Eagles begin the weekend Friday by taking on the University of North Alabama at 2 p.m. and West Florida at 6 p.m. They square off with No. 2 Southwest Minnesota State University Saturday at 9 a.m., before concluding the weekend Saturday at 1 p.m. against the University of South Carolina-Aiken.

Live stats and video will be available for USI’s first three matches, while their final contest will only have live stats.

USI Volleyball Notes
Farrell in history books. Senior libero Shannon Farrell (Munster, Indiana) begins the year ranked No. 3 all-time at USI with 1,359 career digs. She became the first player in program history with back-to-back 500-dig seasons a year ago and set the program record with 5.41 digs per set in 2016. Farrell needs just 131 digs to move into second all-time at USI and 489 to match Kaya Heldman’s school-record 1,848.

Tough competition. USI plays three teams in its opening weekend that are earning recognition in the AVCA Top 25 Preseason Coaches’ Poll. In addition to No. 2 Southwest Minnesota State, both North Alabama and West Florida are receiving votes outside the Top 25.

Openers. USI is looking to win its season-opener for the fifth straight year after beginning the 2016 season with four straight wins. The Eagles have not lost a season-opener since 2012.

Sunshine State. This weekend’s games mark the second straight year and the fifth time since 2010 that USI has opened the season in Florida. It is the third time since 2010 that USI has opened the year in Pensacola and the fifth time during Head Coach Leah Mercer‘s career at USI.

Returning leaders. While Farrell returns to lead the Eagles’ back row, USI will be led at the net by senior middle hitter Te’Ayla Whitfield (Fort Wayne, Indiana) and sophomore outside hitter Mikaila Humphrey (Floyd Knobs, Indiana). Whitfield averaged a team-high 0.82 blocks per set as a junior, while Humphrey led USI with 2.61 kills per frame during her rookie season. Junior setter Erika Peoples (Bloomington, Illinois) was fifth in the GLVC last year with a team-high 9.06 assists per set.

10-match skid. USI is looking to end a lengthy skid when it takes the court this weekend after losing 10 straight matches to end the 2016 campaign.

 

 

Eagles announce Women’s Basketball slate

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball announced its 2017-18 schedule Monday and that it will open its slate November 5 when it travels to Lexington, Kentucky, to take on Division I foe Kentucky in an exhibition contest.

The Screaming Eagles begin the regular season November 10 and 12 when they host Northwood University and Saginaw Valley State University, respectively, in the Great Lakes Valley Conference/Great Lakes Intercollegiate Conference Challenge.

USI’s schedule in 2017-18 features a heavy dose of Midwest Region opponents, particularly GLIAC teams. The Eagles also host GLIAC foe Wayne State University November 18 before traveling to Louisville, Kentucky, to take on GLIAC schools Grand Valley State University and Northern Michigan University in the Bellarmine Classic November 25-26.

A bout with former GLIAC and new Great Midwest Athletic Conference member Ohio Dominican University November 16 is included in the Eagles’ season-long four-game homestand to begin the year.

USI’s non-conference slate includes home games against NAIA opponents Harris-Stowe State University (December 16) and Grace College (December 31) and a road game at NCAA II Southeast Region finalist Lincoln Memorial University (December 19).

“We are excited about this year’s non-conference schedule,” Head Coach Rick Stein said. “These nine non-conference opponents combined to average just under 19 wins last season. To have seven strong in-region games, which includes three NCAA (Tournament) teams, is exactly what we’re trying to accomplish with this year’s schedule.”

A revamped conference schedule begins with a home game against GLVC East Division foe Lewis University November 30 and a road game at in-state and East Division rival University of Indianapolis December 2.

Due to the closure of Saint Joseph’s College, the GLVC now features three five-team divisions in 2017-18, including the East, West and Central Divisions.

USI plays a home-and-home series with each of the GLVC East Division institutions and plays one game against each team from the Central and West Divisions. In addition to USI, Indianapolis and Lewis, the East Division also is comprised of Bellarmine University and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

The GLVC Central Division includes the University of Illinois Springfield, Maryville University, McKendree University, the University of Missouri-St. Louis and Quincy University; while Drury University, Missouri S&T, Rockhurst University, Truman State University and William Jewell College make up the West Division.

After a month-long hiatus from GLVC play, USI resumes league action January 4 when it hosts Missouri-St. Louis at the PAC. The Eagles also play home games against Indianapolis (January 11), Missouri S&T (January 18), Truman State (January 20), UW-Parkside (January 25), Maryville (February 1), Quincy (February 3) and Bellarmine (February 10).

USI’s Play4Kay game is slated for February 1, while Homecoming is February 3 and Senior Night is February 10.

In addition to its trip to Indianapolis in December, USI plays conference road games against Drury (January 6), Bellarmine (January 15), McKendree (January 27), Illinois Springfield (February 8), William Jewell (February 15), Rockhurst (February 17), UW-Parkside (February 22) and Lewis (February 24).

The GLVC Tournament features eight teams this year and is scheduled for March 1-4 in Edwardsville, Illinois, while the NCAA II Midwest Region Tournament is March 9-12. The NCAA II Elite Eight is March 20-23 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Not including USI’s exhibition at Kentucky, USI’s opponents posted a 454-341 (.571) overall record in 2016-17. Six opponents on USI’s regular-season slate advanced to the NCAA II Tournament a year ago, while 17 of the Eagles’ opponents made their respective conference tournaments last season.

USI posted a 24-5 overall record and was 16-2 in GLVC play a year ago. The Eagles won the GLVC East Division by three games last season, but a quarterfinal loss in the GLVC Tournament prevented the Eagles from advancing to the NCAA II Tournament.
