Citizens Action Coalition sues for state records on Carrier deal

0

Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com

A complaint filed Friday in Marion County by Citizens Action Coalition alleges that the governor’s office has violated the Indiana Access to Public Records Act by not providing the grass-roots consumer group documents it wants about Vice President and former Gov. Mike Pence’s communications involving Carrier Corp. and United Technologies.

CAC staff attorney Jennifer Washburn sought certain records pertaining to the deal to save approximately 1,000 jobs at a Carrier manufacturing plant in Indianapolis announced in November 2016 by President-elect Donald Trump. Carrier announced in February 2016 it was sending those jobs to Mexico by 2019, which got national attention after a worker posted a recording of the announcement to employees on social media.

Trump often criticized the layoffs during his campaign for president. Just a couple weeks after his election, Carrier tweeted it had reached a deal with Trump and Pence.

Washburn filed a public records request on Dec. 27 seeking communications between Pence’s office, Donald Trump, Donald J. Trump for President, and the Trump Organization from Nov. 14, 2016 through Nov. 29, 2016, that are related to or reference Carrier or related companies, as well as documents involving state entities or employees referencing or relating to Trump or Carrier during the same time period.

The complaint says it was nearly four months until Washburn heard anything about her request other than it was being worked on. A letter from the governor’s office dated April 13 asked her to clarify her request, citing “reasonable particularity” as required under APRA.

Washburn and CAC contend in their complaint that Washburn’s APRA request “identified specific senders and recipients of communications (the Office of Governor, Trump, Carrier), the subject matter (the negotiations between Carrier and then-Governor Pence), in a narrow and specific (November 14-29, 2016) two (2) week time frame.”

A complaint filed with Public Access Counselor Luke Britt yielded a response earlier this month that the matter was not “ripe for the adversarial process” because Washburn had not acceded to the governor’s office’s request that her APRA request “be amended to satisfy legal requirements under APRA.”

CAC and Washburn contend they don’t need to amend the request because Washburn believes her December request satisfied the reasonable particularity requirement of Indiana Code 5-14-3-3(a)(1).

“By failing to respond to her request in a reasonable period of time, demanding that she amend her already reasonably particular request, and failing to produce the documents responsive to Ms. Washburn’s request in a timely fashion, the Office of the Governor has improperly and contrary to APRA denied Plaintiffs’ request for public documents,” the complaint says.

CAC and Washburn seek a judgment ordering the governor’s office to make available to Washburn the records she sought and to expedite this case. They also seek reasonable attorney fees.

A spokesperson for Gov. Eric Holcomb’s office said they are aware of the complaint and will review it.

Court is in session: Popular jockey back at 56 at Ellis Park

0

 

‘My age doesn’t define me. Actually it exemplifies my experience and my fortitude to stay in the game and be as competitive as I am’ — Jon Court
  Jon Court is a six-time Ellis Park champion jockey and the only rider ever to win the meet title five years in a row. The winner of 4,035 North American races (which does not include his victory in the $1 million Japan Cup Dirt in 2003) and more than $100 million in purses, Court remains a force at age 56. The next time Court wins at Ellis Park, it will be his 600th victory at the track. His career record at Ellis is 599 wins, 477 seconds and 407 thirds out of 3,298 mounts, for purse earnings of $9,449,887.
Court recently discussed riding and the upcoming Ellis meet, which runs Saturday through Labor Day, with racing Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, plus this Monday and Tuesday and Sept. 4. There is no racing Saturday, Sept. 2 to allow for Kentucky Downs’ opener.
Last year you suffered a fractured rib and missed the first part of the Ellis meet but still wound up eighth in the standings with 16 wins. This year you come into Ellis off a pretty good meet at Churchill Downs.
You never know what will transpire from one meet to the next. I came off a really good Oaklawn (27 wins), came to Churchill and really had kind of slim pickings. But I was able to hold my own and get started, hold my own throughout the meet. Now we roll on into Ellis. That’s my circuit, and I’m looking forward to it — a lot of us are. I’ve been doing it a long time now. You take it how it comes, and I welcome that meet opening up.
You’re riding a fair amount for D. Wayne Lukas. If you teamed to win the Kentucky Derby next spring, you’d be a combined 139 years old, blowing past the record 127 combined age of Charlie Whittingham and Bill Shoemaker when Ferdinand won in 1986. How is it you keep going?
I don’t know if you get stigmatized or if it’s the stereotype of what 50 is. But I’ve been taking exceptional care of myself. I know what I have to do and what’s got to be done. Now it’s just a part of my life. I take that extra initiative to keep myself healthy, fit and in the game. I’m not trying to go out here and slaughter them. But I want to be a feared competitor in every opportunity I have to ride.
You’re a good sport when we tag @AARP when Tweeting about you.
My age doesn’t define me. Actually it exemplifies my experience and my fortitude to stay in the game and be as competitive as I am. Yes, I do get AARP literature in the mail, and I actually embrace that and just enjoy where life is taking me on a day-to-day basis.
At this point of your career, how much is brains and how much is physical skill? And how has that changed from, say, 30 years ago?
It’s always going to be physical. You have to have your physical skills up to par. You adjust as time goes on. Your body changes, and your mind does, too. I’m a lot more relaxed at this stage of my career and my life. At the same time, this is a competitive game, and it still eats at you (to get beat). I was telling a young rider today that it will eat at you in the early stages and throughout your career. Because if you have that competitive edge in you, it’s going to tinker with your mind. (But) you keep your physical body in shape, and your mind will fall into place where you put it.
Ellis Park, where you won the title in 1998 through 2002, was your gateway to what has been a very successful career in Kentucky, one that allowed you to ride in California for five years before returning in 2009, again winning the title. How do you feel about riding at Ellis Park?
I’ve always enjoyed Ellis Park. It has its own atmosphere. It’s good racing, good Kentucky racing and it’s a special place where we spend the summer. I look forward to the meet getting started. We always have a good time at Ellis Park.
Talk about the change in the jockey colony the past few years.
Ellis Park has kept pace, with the purses increasing over the years. It’s keeping the talent here. A lot of riders who would move on to other states, are staying home in the Blue Grass State, and have good reason to do so. The last several years, the depth of the talent at Ellis Park has increased. A lot of the top riders at Churchill are staying home and riding at Ellis.

Allen’s homer gives Evansville 5-4 win

0

Josh Allen’s second walk-off home run of the season gave the Evansville Otters a dramatic 5-4 victory over the Florence Freedom to open the weekend series at Bosse Field in front of 3,278.

Allen’s two-out homer in the ninth off Florence’s Matt Kaster came after the Freedom tied the game at 4-4 in the top half of the inning when Collins Cuthrell hit a solo home run off Randy McCurry.
The game was delayed 30 minutes because of a brief shower and once it started, it was Florence taking an early lead.
In the second, a Cuthrell sacrifice fly scored both Andrew Godbold and Jordan Brower, giving the Freedom a 2-0 lead.
An inning later, Jose Brizuela hit a solo home run to extend the advantage to 3-0.
Evansville had an answer in the bottom half of the inning when Allen scored Brandon Soat on an RBI ground out, cutting the deficit to 3-1.
John Schultz’s RBI double in the fifth made it 3-2. Soat hit a two-run home run in the sixth, scoring Nick Walker, which gave the Otters a 4-3 lead.
McCurry earned the victory and improved to 1-1 after blowing a save opportunity. He pitched an inning, giving up one earned run off a hit.
Diego Ibarra started for Evansville and went six innings, giving up three earned runs off six hits. He struck out six and walked two. Kyano Cummings pitched the seventh and eighth and he struck out two.
Kaster took the loss, pitching 2/3 innings before giving up the game-winning homer to Allen.
Offensively, Soat finished 2 for 5 with two runs and two RBIs for Evansville. Allen was 2 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs and Schultz was 1 for 4 with an RBI.
The Otters improved to 24-18 while the Freedom fell to 30-13.
Saturday is a doubleheader at Bosse Field with game one on Poster Pickup Day beginning at 5:35 p.m. Game two will be played approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of game one. Posters from the first three decade promotion nights will be available for fans who missed the previous games.
Tickets are still available by going to evansvilleotters.com or calling 812-435-8686.

Both games will be streamed live on Otters Digital Network and over the air on 91.5 FM WUEV. Lucas Corley (play-by-play) and Bill McKeon (analysis) will call the action.

The Evansville Otters are the 2006 and 2016 Frontier League champions. Group packages and single game tickets are now on sale. For more information, visit evansvilleotters.com or call 812-435-8686.
