11-1 Harmac Rallies To Win Allowance Feature
Exploring Top Issues by Wendy McNamara
Recently, I was named to two study committees that will examine assigned topics, gather testimonies and recommend potential bills for the 2018 legislative session.
I will be serving on Midwestern Higher Education Compact Commission and on the  Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Code. A complete list of topics assigned to each summer study committee can be found here.
During session, we focused on enacting a law that will provide support for those who have mental health issues or are addicted to drugs and are also in the criminal justice system. Those who suffer from these problems need better tools to address their underlying issues. In our interim study committee, we will look at ways to help these individuals and address their problems.
Interim study committee hearings, which typically occur at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, can be viewed live online at iga.in.gov. This site also provides committee calendars and meeting agendas. Members of the public are encouraged to attend and testify. If you have any input on the topics, please join us for these meetings.
If you have any questions about summer study committees, please contact me at h76@iga.in.gov or 317Â-232Â-9816.

The Otters tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the second off an RBI ground out from Brandon Soat, scoring Christopher Riopedre.
Riopedre gave the Otters a 2-1 lead in the fourth with an RBI triple that scored Ryan Long.
Evansville added an insurance run in the sixth as Nick Walker scored off a defensive error by Joliet, making the score 3-1.
Rennie settled in following the first inning, earning his third win of the season as he allowed one run in five innings with five strikeouts.

IS IT TRUE JULY 9, 2017
IS IT TRUE that the malaise of brick and mortar retail has gone to extreme levels in the past week?…the last K Mart in Owensboro was on the casualty list of the latest hit list of the Sears organization?…this is the second round of closings for the two legacy brands that helped define the shopping habits of Americans for 50 years in 2017?…anyone who thinks the brick and mortar retail carnage is over is kidding themselves as the online craze is really just getting started?
IS IT TRUE the large legacy New York City chain Macy’s is now selling on the stock market for less than one third of the appraised value of their free and clear real estate?…one would think that Macy’s stock would be a no brainer given that statistic?…the trouble with real estate is that banks will,loan against it and that is the biggest concern with buying Macy’s stock?…the management of Macy’s may not get it yet and could leverage the real estate with debt to hold on to a dying business?…if they mortgage their real estate to prop up brick and mortar retail they will squander the last vestige of value that the Macy’s brand has to offer?
IS IT TRUE that the former consumer electronics giant HH Gregg that operated a retail store on Evansville’s east side after Circuit City went under just announced they have sold all of their intellectual property?…that includes the name HH Gregg, all patents, brands, trademarks, slogans, advertising materials, and banners?…the total sale price was reported to be only $400,000 for everything of value that remains of a once mighty brand?…that is less than a medium sized family home in Lake Ridge Crossing in Newburgh and a fraction of some private homes in McCutcheonville?
IS IT TRUE the 20 most popular stores in America are: 20) Best Buy, 19) Rite Aid, 18) Dollar General, 17) United States Postal Service, 16) Dunkin Donuts, 15) 7 Eleven, 14) Lowe’s, 13) Wendy’s, 12) Shell Gas Stations, 11) The Home Depot, 10) Burger King, 9) Taco Bell, 8) Dollar Tree, 7) CVS PHARMACY, 6) Target, 5) Walgreens Pharmacy, 4) Starbucks Coffee, 3)Subway, 2) McDonalds and number one (1) Walmart?
IS IT TRUE the 5 restaurant chains that are taking over America are: 5) Click-Fil-A. 4) Wingstop. 3) Marco Pizza, 2) Jersey Mike’s Subs and number one (1) is Raising Cane’s chicken fingers?
