Judges make it official: Indy Courts Moving To Justice Center

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

Judges of the Marion Circuit and Superior Courts formally announced Thursday that civil and criminal courts will move from the Indianapolis City-County Building to a proposed Criminal Justice Complex on the city’s near-southeast side.

The courts and the Criminal Justice Reform Task Force released a joint statement announcing the formal decision ahead of the May 1 deadline. The move was approved by Marion Circuit Court and the General Term of Marion Superior Court.

“Over the past four months, in partnership with the Indianapolis Criminal Justice Reform Task Force, the Marion County Circuit and Superior Courts have engaged in the hard work of putting Marion County on the cutting-edge of modern court systems,” the statement said. “By looking at models and best practices from all over the country, Marion County’s Circuit and Superior Courts are committed to building a court system that is effective, efficient, and continues to promote justice in line with the fundamental tenets of criminal justice reform. While the task before the courts is a challenging one, the courts are committed and will not settle for a system that does not enhance the community with great resources and access to the justice system.”

Mayor Joe Hogsett in January announced a facility now dubbed the Community Justice Campus would be built in the Twin Aire neighborhood on the site of the former Citizens Gas and Coke Utility Plant. In Thursday’s statement, Hogsett thanked the courts “for their forward-thinking commitment to building an innovative, efficient, and just criminal justice system.”

Hogsett has pushed for what he calls bold criminal justice reform that puts mental health assessment, substance abuse, treatment, and other services at the core. Along with a jail with 2,600-3,000 beds, the facility will include an upfront assessment center. The facility is expected to cost $575 million, but depending on the structure of lease payments, the city could pay several times more.

Former Mayor Greg Ballard’s plan for a public-private justice center on the former General Motors Stamping Plant that failed to gain City-County Council approval came with a long-term price tag of about $1.75 billion in lease payments over decades. Under Hogsett’s plan, the city will use a similar public-private partnership model for most of the project and has selected the HOK design and engineering firm that worked on Ballard’s proposed justice center plan to serve as a consultant on the development.

City-County Council President Maggie Lewis in a statement Thursday applauded the courts’ decision to locate at the complex and the collaboration that’s marked the process. “This marks an important milestone in our effort to reform the Marion County criminal justice system,” she said. “In the weeks and months ahead, I look forward to continue working alongside my colleagues.”

Three key dates remain prior to City-County Council approval, according to the Task Force report. The city will release a request for bid proposals on July 1; responses will be due back to the city Nov. 1; and the winning bid will be selected and proposed to the council by Jan. 1, 2018.

Eagles’ season ends with NCAA loss to UIndy

0
University of Southern Indiana Men’s Tennis saw their season come to an end Saturday afternoon, when they fell 5-2 to Indianapolis in the first round of the NCAA II Midwest Regional at the UIndy Tennis Center.

The Screaming Eagles took a 2-1 lead after doubles play, but were unable to hold on for the upset win.

After falling behind the second-seeded Greyhounds after number three doubles, the seventh-seeded Eagles came back at number two doubles with an 8-4 win by sophomore Ilia Karelin (Ekaterinburg, Russia) and freshman Denis Davydov (Chorvatsky Grob, Slovakia). USI would take the lead after junior Samuel Kiladejo (London, England) and senior Aaron Barris (Marietta, Georgia) upset No. 16 Arklon Huertas Del Pino and Andrea Morlet 8-6 at number one.

USI was unable to win a singles match as UIndy took the first four matches to be completed for the 5-2 win. Barris battled at number three, winning the first set 6-4, and was tied 5-5 in the second, but the game was unfinished as the match had already been decided.

The Eagles concluded the season 16-11, their eighth consecutive winning season.

Indiana Grown by Wendy McNamara

0

Agriculture is an integral part of Indiana’s economy. We have 19 million acres of farms, forests and woodlands, and Indiana’s 57,500 farming operations grow, produce and process some of the highest-quality products around the world. In 2014, the General Assembly approved the Indiana Grown program to encourage Hoosiers to buy locally grown products.

Indiana Grown is a branding program helping Hoosier farmers and producers promote their products by encouraging consumers to buy local. After a business becomes a member, the Indiana Grown logo is placed on their products, which helps consumers more easily identify and purchase their goods.

This program keeps jobs and financial growth in the community by supporting Hoosier businesses in our state. It also supports job creation, building sustainable communities and preserving Indiana’s agricultural heritage. It is important to remember that when an Indiana Grown product is bought, no matter where from, it helps local farmers and producers succeed as well as the Indiana economy.

When shopping, look for the Indiana Grown label and help support our community by choosing local options. If you are interested in joining the Indiana Grown program, visit www.IndianaGrown.org.

Appeals Court Upholds Decision To Block Anthem Bid For Cigna

Appeals Court Upholds Decision To Block Anthem Bid For CignaIL for www.theindianalawyer.com

A federal appeals court on Friday left in place a decision blocking Indianapolis-based Anthem Inc.’s bid to buy rival health insurer Cigna Corp, saying that a bigger company is not better for consumers.

The 2-1 decision upholds a federal judge’s ruling in February that said the proposed $48 billion acquisition would reduce competition in the concentrated insurance market.

Anthem argued the merger would save $2.4 billion in medical costs and lead to lower consumer premiums. But the Justice Department said Anthem had no real plan to reach those savings. The government sued last summer to block the deal amid concerns over its effect on prices and consumer choices.

The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit likely dooms the merger effort that lasted nearly two years. Even Cigna has soured on the deal, filing a separate lawsuit seeking a $1.85 billion termination fee from Anthem and billions more in damages that include the amount Cigna shareholders would have received if the merger hadn’t failed.

Consumer groups had opposed the merger, saying it would have a negative impact on consumers and lead to fewer choices. Industry experts suggested any consumer impact from the deal would take years to materialize and could lead to savings in some areas but higher costs elsewhere.

Anthem had promoted the merger as a way to help the companies negotiate better prices with pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and doctor groups. They also said it would help cut expenses and add more customers.

Writing for the majority, Judge Judith Rogers said the lower court was correct to halt the merger “based on Anthem’s failure to show the kind of extraordinary efficiencies necessary to offset the conceded anticompetitive effect of the merger” in 14 states.

Rogers also said the merger would have a “substantial anticompetitive effect” in the Richmond, Virginia, large-group employer market.

In dissent, Judge Brett Kavanaugh said a merger would allow the larger company to negotiate lower provider rates and mean cost-savings for consumers. He said he would send the case back to the lower court for further deliberations.

Earlier this year, a federal judge also blocked a separate health insurer combination: Aetna’s roughly $34 billion acquisition of Medicare Advantage provider Humana Inc.

Jones Gets Second Provisional at “Ginas”

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Track & Field sophomore Hope Jones (Cumberland, Indiana) was the lone scorer for the Screaming Eagles at the loaded Hillsdale “Gina” Relays over the weekend.

Jones earned her second NCAA Division II provisional time of the season in the 10,000-meters with a time of 36 minutes, 13.84 seconds. Finishing runner-up in the event, Jones’ time ranks 27th in NCAA II during the outdoor season. The sophomore also has an NCAA II provisional in the 5,000-meters with the 50th-fastest time during the outdoor season.

In the 3,000-meter steeplechase, junior Kate Duty (Owensboro, Kentucky) ran her best time of the season, 11:20.72, to finish 17th in the event. The finish ranks Duty 61st nationally in NCAA II, fifteen seconds shy of a provisional.

A number of Eagles competed in the 5,000-meter open event, highlighted by sophomore Allison Rollins (Evansville, Indiana) placing 32nd. Not far behind Rollins, senior Bailey Knable (New Albany, Indiana) finished 34th, while junior Bryce Cutler (Benzonia, Michigan) crossed the finish line in 36th. Sophomore Micahlah Booher (Pendleton, Indiana) and senior Carly Whitesell (Zionsville, Indiana) rounded out the USI runners in 38th and 43rd, respectively.

USI returns to action at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships hosted by Saint Joseph’s College in Rennselaer, Indiana. The meet begins this Thursday, April 27, and runs through Saturday, April 29. The “last chance” meet will be held May 11-12 in Naperville, Illinois, at the Dr. Keeler Invitational, while the NCAA II Outdoor Championships are May 25-27 in Bradenton, Florida.
