EDITORIAL: THE TIME HAS FINALLY ARRIVED FOR 2014 BUDGETS RESULTS TO BE MADE PUBLIC
IT’S TIME FOR 2014 AUDITS RESULTS TO BE MADE PUBLIC
The time has finally come to see the State Board of Accounts audit of the City’s books for the year of 2014. We have been informed that the Mayor received the results of the audit a couple of days ago and the SBOA will release it to the pubic at some point this week.  The City-County Observer will provide a link to the audit  available shortly after its release. It appears that Paul Joyce, the SBOA director, has given Mayor Winnecke a little time to review the facts of the audit so his in-house spin doctors can polish and sugar-coat the findings about the state of our finances before dispensing it to the public for consumption.
The City-County Observer will be sharing our analysis of the audit with our readers over the days and weeks to come, as our limited resources allow us to fully examine the findings. When made public we invite our many readers to share their thoughts on the findings, especially in their special areas of expertise. It would seem to us that the mainstream media, with its considerable wherewithal, should be anxious to delve into the facts of the long overdue audit, but there is no reason at this time to believe that will happen.
The SBOA auditor’s findings concerning the allegations, made by former City Councilman and CPA John Friend, of unaccounted-for funds amounting to six (6) million dollars are of special interest. We will finally know whether Councilman Friend was right about the missing funds, or if City Controller Russ Lloyd was right in his vehement denial of the existence of any discrepancies. Mayor Winnecke and his Chief Deputy, Steve Shaffer, have strongly defended the stance of the Controller and displayed scorn for the opinion of Mr. Friend. We hear that this delicate subject may be dealt with very discreetly in a special supplement to the SBOA’s findings.If Mr. Friend is wrong about this issue he should publicly apologie to all involved for his unfounded assumptions concerning this issue.
We believe that if it turns out that Councilman Friend was correct in his statement that there is a deficit of six (6) million dollars in the finances of this city, that the Mayor should call a news conference and apologize to the voters. He should not tell us he “misspoke†nor that he was “ill-informed.†He should tell the truth about what he and his minions did to cover up this issue. We strongly suggest that the same press conference should include an announcement that he accepted the resignation of his City Controller ,Russell Lloyd. Jr.  Stay tuned. Things are about to get interesting.

YESTERYEAR-GRIEN BUILDING
YESTERYEAR-GRIEN BUILDING
Built between 1887 and 1889, the Grein Building was located at Second and Sycamore streets. The mammoth structure covered a quarter of a city block and was originally named the Business Men’s Association Building, reflecting the city’s rising prosperity around the turn-of-the-century. Down the block on Sycamore, the imposing Vendome Hotel opened a year later, and positioned between them was the new Grand Theater. The urban renewal movement claimed all three buildings by 1972; a parking garage has since replaced the old Grein Building.

Coverage for Autism Treatment Varies by State
Coverage for Autism Treatment Varies by State
 By Jen Fifield Child for The Pew Charitable Trusts
COLUMBIA, South Carolina — All morning at the Autism Academy of South Carolina, 6-year-old Brooke Sharpe has been doing what her therapist tells her to do: build a Mr. Potato Head; put together a four-piece puzzle of farm animals; roll a tennis ball.
Now it’s Brooke’s turn to choose. She touches an icon of Elsa from the movie “Frozen†on her iPad. When “Let It Go†begins to play, she swings her braids to the music. For Brooke, who has a severe form of autism and doesn’t speak, this is progress: Last year, unable to express a preference, she might have just flailed to the floor in tears, said Kristen Bettencourt, her therapist.
The treatment Brooke is receiving, “applied behavior analysis,†has been proven to help children with autism learn new skills, develop good behaviors and stop bad ones. It is the method known to work best for treating autism, but health insurance doesn’t always cover it.
Since 2001, 44 states have begun requiring some insurance plans to cover ABA for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. But the rules are all different, making for uneven coverage across states. Autism Speaks, a national nonprofit, estimates that 36 percent of Americans have access to autism coverage.
The mandates don’t apply to those companies, often large, that insure their own workers. In some states, small businesses are not required to offer coverage. Depending on the state, coverage may be available to state employees, Medicaid recipients and people purchasing insurance in the marketplaces created under the Affordable Care Act.
The breadth of the coverage also varies. Some states only require coverage up to a set dollar amount per year or a set number of hours of treatment per week, or only require the coverage until a child reaches a certain age, ranging from 8 to 21.
The highest annual cap was set at $50,000. That’s the cap in South Carolina, where coverage is required until age 16. Only California, Indiana, Massachusetts and Minnesota require the plans to cover the therapy without any limits on age, cost or frequency.
The disparities among states have sent families, such as Brooke’s, packing. Her parents, Alicia and Edwin Sharpe, sold their “gorgeous house†in Florida, left their jobs, and took $30,000 pay cuts to come to South Carolina, knowing that the state requires some employers to cover the Autism Academy’s full-time treatment program.
After the move, Alicia had to switch jobs twice to find coverage. Without insurance, Brooke’s program, which is full-day, five days a week, costs $50,000 a year.
State lawmakers who want to require insurers to cover the treatment say doing so will save their states money in the long run. The lifetime costs of each person with autism is estimated to be $3.2 million, including medical and treatment costs for families, and costs to society, such as loss of productivity. ABA therapy can reduce those costs, as children who receive the treatment early have less trouble adapting, allowing them to potentially hold a job and pay taxes in the future.
Many insurance companies and business groups oppose the mandates, arguing that they would result in steep premium increases. But, for some insurance companies, increases have been less than expected, at less than half of 1 percent.
National Movement
Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in children in the nation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About one in 68 children was reported to have autism spectrum disorder in 2010, up from 1 in 150 in 2002, according to the CDC.
Autism advocates say the national movement to expand coverage really started with one boy: Ryan Unumb. Ryan was diagnosed with autism in 2003, just before his second birthday.
His parents, Lorri and Dan Unumb, are attorneys. They pushed South Carolina to become the second state (Indiana was the first, in 2001) to require coverage of the therapy. Autism Speaks hired the couple to push for similar laws in other states. The Unumbs also are the founders of the Autism Academy.
In ABA, board certified behavior analysts and other therapists teach children using requests, repetition and rewards. Brooke knows activities by their one-word prompts, such as “building,†“standing†and “rolling.â€
Ryan, now 14, is learning prepositions. At the academy, his therapist, Courtney Lindler, tells him to stand behind something, or on top of it. This way, he will know how to stand in a line somewhere else. The two do push-ups, lunges and squats together — physical activity lessens his aggression.
The laws have come as more people have started to recognize the benefits of ABA therapy for autism, said David Mandell, director of the Center for Mental Health Policy and Services Research at the University of Pennsylvania. He said there is often resistance to covering conditions that doctors diagnose based on behavior, such as autism. Mandell expects mandates to be an easier sell once researchers can find biological markers for autism.
“If we were talking about pediatric cancer, we wouldn’t be having this discussion,†he said.
The six states that do not require that insurers cover the therapy are Alabama, Idaho, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Wyoming. Oklahoma and Alabama are considering bills that would mandate coverage.
Of the 44 states with requirements, 42 passed laws mandating the coverage; in Washington, coverage is required as a result of litigation; and in Ohio it is required because of an executive order from Republican Gov. John Kasich. In both Ohio and Iowa, the rules only apply to health plans for state employees.
Since 2012, 10 states with coverage requirements have expanded them, and Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio and South Carolina are considering doing so this year.
In Ohio, Republican state Rep. Cheryl Grossman has introduced a bill that would expand the coverage requirement to private employers. She said she knows the children who get treatment have a better chance of entering public schools, and achieving independence.
“I’m looking at it as an investment on behalf of these children, and a very meaningful way to help them succeed in their lives,†Grossman said.
But her bill is facing opposition from business groups and insurers.
In Ohio, plans offered on the Affordable Care Act marketplace cover the treatment, so people not happy with their employer’s coverage have the option of getting an individual plan there, said Keith Lake of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.
Lake said his organization is sympathetic to the plight of families with autistic children. But, he said, Grossman’s bill would increase insurance premiums for small businesses that can ill afford it — especially as the Legislature weighs similar coverage requirements for hearing aids and contraception.
“Anything that the Legislature does that further increases those premiums is a problem,†Lake said.
But premiums have increased less than expected.
In Missouri, where the coverage for treatment was capped at $40,000 a year until age 19, the state found that, in 2015, the mandate cost 30 cents per member per month. That’s at the lower end of the expected cost, said John Huff, director of the Missouri Department of Insurance.
The department estimated the mandate would increase claim payments by 0.2 to 0.5 percent. In 2015, 32,997 claims were filed and the mandate had raised premiums by 0.25 percent, on the low end of expectations.
“As much as anything it is an educational process†for lawmakers, Grossman said, “because we aren’t talking huge numbers here, but we are talking huge successes.â€
Roadblocks
But even in states that require coverage, families can have a hard time getting it.
After the law passed in New York in 2011, families couldn’t get the coverage for two years due to a licensing problem. The state Department of Financial Services was telling therapists they needed to get an ABA license in order to receive insurance reimbursement, yet the state had no ABA license available. In 2014, the Legislature amended the law, creating a licensing procedure.
In states such as New Jersey, some families have trouble finding therapists who will take their insurance, said Peter Bell, CEO of Eden Autism Services, a nonprofit there. Bell said some insurers’ plans reimburse therapists so little for the therapy that Eden cannot afford to accept them.
Medicaid reimbursement rates also are low in some states. In South Carolina, for example, Medicaid pays up to $15 an hour for therapists who normally charge $50 an hour and $58 for board certified behavior analysts who typically charge $125, Unumb said.
In a handful of states, such as Massachusetts, there is better access to coverage. The Massachusetts mandate includes small businesses and individual plans, and there are no caps. In addition, 62 percent of people working for companies that insure their own workers, which aren’t subject to the mandate, have coverage because their employers have chosen to offer it, according to Amy Weinstock, director of the Autism Insurance Resource Center at the University of Massachusetts, which helps families find coverage.
While the state hasn’t released information about the cost of the mandates, Weinstock said premiums have not gone up much. The law allows insurers to opt out if premiums increase more than 1 percent, and that isn’t happening, she said.
Brooke’s parents said the sacrifices they made to find coverage were worth it. Before they came here, autism had put their only daughter into a “zombie mode†— she wouldn’t even acknowledge them. Now, when they pick her up from the academy, she runs up to shower them with hugs and kisses.
“In the end, you have to do what you need to do for your child,†Edwin Sharpe said. “Because no one is going to care for your child the way you are.â€

Parents, Students, Educators Invited To Share Mandated Testing Concerns
Parents, Students, Educators Invited To Share Mandated Testing Concerns
(Position paper from the Campaign of Ann Ennis for State Representative)
Ann Ennis, Republican candidate for State Representative, invites parents, students and educators to share their stories of ISTEP 2015 on the eve of ISTEP 2016. Recently the state Senate adopted a plan to start all over after the 2017 ISTEP: yet another major change led by the same assessors who created ISTEP+.
The gathering is Saturday, February 27, from 7:30 until 9:30 am, Ennis will be at the Darmstadt Inn, 13130 Darmstadt Road, to record stories, statement or questions.
“We are seeing first hand and hearing frequently that the software and on-line testing process is not working any better this year than last,†Ennis said. It is time to talk openly about it.
Persons coming by the Darmstadt Inn that morning will have opportunity to make a short statement on digital media about their standardized testing experiences. Friends of Ann Ennis will assemble these into a short video to prompt others in the community to think of the ramifications of these expensive series of tests. They also can get particular questions about education policy in 2016 answered.
“
The broader community is generally unaware of the financial and human cost of these mandated tests. Although parents and students are free to speak and need to speak up, schools discourage them from too much talk. As well, we think the educators who come will be retirees, because current teachers and administration are not able to speak out,†Ennis said.
Ennis has witnessed state officials’ distrust of local educators and how this has played out in anti-local and closed lips laws and statements. Local school administrators have no choice but to clamp-down on current staff talking about ISTEP concerns. For this reason, groups advocating against state mandated tests are discouraged from speaking to parents or in schools, she said. “So the community is not hearing the full story. ISTEP and other mandated tests are like a series of deep dark secrets. ‘What is on the test?’ ‘How does the equipment work?’ and ‘How much time is this eating up in day-to-day classrooms?’.  “As a volunteer in a local school, Ennis found herself quite accidentally in a classroom during the February 4 state-wide equipment stress-test that taxpayers funded for Pearson, the new Indiana ISTEP vendor. “There was a better than 25% equipment failure rate.â€
Ennis is a lifetime resident of District 64 with 30 years’ experience in civic leadership, including serving as Executive Director of Keep Evansville Beautiful (Evansville), and executive fund development positions with Habitat of Evansville, Ruth’s House (substance abuse recovery) and the Public Education Foundation of Evansville. She has been an officer in her family’s coal and oil exploration contracting firm, and worked in finance and media marketing.

15 justice semifinalists remain
Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com
Nine judges, four lawyers in private practice, a state lawmaker and a state attorney are semifinalists to replace Justice Brent Dickson on the Indiana Supreme Court. Thirteen men and two women from every region in the state will return for a second round of interviews next month.
The Judicial Nominating Commission selected 15 people as semifinalists from a field of 29 applicants on Feb. 19 after three days of interviews. They are:
• Judge James R. Ahler, Jasper Superior Court, Rensselaer
• Judge Vicki L. Carmichael, Clark Circuit Court 4, New Albany
• Magistrate Judge Paul R. Cherry, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Indiana, Hammond
• Judge Darrin M. Dolehanty, Wayne Superior Court 3, Richmond
• Judge Thomas J. Felts, Allen Circuit Court, Fort Wayne
• Thomas M. Fisher, Indiana solicitor general, Indianapolis
• Judge Frances C. Gull, Allen Superior Court, Fort Wayne
• Judge Steven L. Hostetler, St. Joseph Superior Court, South Bend
• Judge Matthew C. Kincaid, Boone Superior Court 1, Lebanon
• Mark A. Lienhoop; Newby Lewis Kaminski & Jones LLP, LaPorte
• Judge Steven R. Nation, Hamilton Superior Court 1, Noblesville
• Peter J. Rusthoven, Barnes & Thornburg LLP, Indianapolis
• Geoffrey G. Slaughter, Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, Indianapolis
• Rep. Thomas W. Washburne, Old National Bancorp, Evansville
• Thomas E. Wheeler II, Frost Brown Todd LLC, Indianapolis
Dickson, Indiana’s second-longest-serving justice on record, will retire April 29.
Here are highlights from the semifinalists’ interviews.
Judge James R. Ahler said his work on the Public Defender Commission gave him insight into the needs of indigent clients and said the state should examine options to the current county-by-county system that’s been under assault by lawsuits filed around the state.
Ahler highlighted his mix of experience – more than eight years as a trial court judge hearing a variety of cases preceded by a diverse practice with an emphasis on business law, and clerking for two judges on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. “I think I understand courts, and I understand lawyers and judges from big cities down to our smallest of counties.â€
Judge Vicki L. Carmichael until recently oversaw the busiest court in the state based on weighted caseload, Chief Justice Loretta Rush noted. Carmichael said the courts have a role to play in examining the allocation of resources, from public defender services to possibly sharing magistrates and judicial officers on a regional basis.
Carmichael also said she would focus on the needs of children and families. “The guardian ad litem/CASA program is very near and dear to my heart,†she said.
Magistrate Judge Paul R. Cherry thought he would continue his role as a federal magistrate judge for the rest of his life, but he said he considers the opportunity to be appointed to the Indiana Supreme Court a grand way to expand his more than 27 years on the state and federal bench. “I think it’s the right thing for my career at this point,†he said.
The DeKalb County native said he would bring a “deep well of experience†not just from his years on the bench but also as a private practitioner and prosecutor before that.
Judge Darrin M. Dolehanty’s work advocating for representation for juvenile offenders was praised by Rush, but he said it was she who deserved credit for making it happen. “The long and short of it is, it’s the right thing to do,†he said. “This makes perfect sense.â€
Dolehanty said he’s grateful to serve on a strategic planning committee for the court. Asked about the most important attribute in a justice, he said patience. “With patience, all the other issues can be resolved,†he said.
Judge Thomas J. Felts said the mentorship of a judge early in his career taught him lessons that he now tries to impart to young attorneys and judges, and he stressed his connections in the Legislature as an asset he would bring to the court.
Felts said he believed lawyers would step up to fill the pro bono needs of unrepresented litigants, but noted there may be a time in the future when the court may have to take steps to encourage more volunteer legal assistance. “You never say never,†he said.
Indiana Solicitor General Thomas M. Fisher is a familiar face arguing cases for the state before appellate courts, and Rush commended the quality of his advocacy. Fisher said he would welcome the ability to read both sides of a case and apply the law. “It’s a much better way for me to think about the law.â€
Having argued before the U.S. Supreme Court three times in state cases, Fisher was asked how he prepares. “I cloister myself in the office, lock the door and ignore phone calls,†he said. “It’s a very intense process.â€
Judge Frances C. Gull was recognized by Rush as a statewide leader in judicial reform and problem-solving courts. Given the opportunity to serve on the Supreme Court, Gull said she would hope to build on those efforts. She said she would work toward “making sure every citizen in state of Indiana has access to problem-solving courts†such as drug and veteran courts.
She also said public defenders are underpaid and she would reach out to law school students to get them interested in pro bono and public service work.
Judge Steven L. Hostetler said his nearly three years on the bench preceded by 15 years as a practicing lawyer representing businesses working through insolvency and bankruptcy give him a unique perspective that includes agricultural issues and “all kinds of economic issues facing businesses in our state.â€
Hostetler enjoys mentoring young lawyers and new lawyers and said “it’s very important we do that – more mature lawyers try to mentor young lawyers, especially those trying to get out and hang a shingle.â€
Boone Superior Court 1 Judge Matthew C. Kincaid shakes hands with Judicial Nominating Commission member Lynette Long during his interview session Feb. 18. Kincaid is among 15 applicants who will be interviewed again next month.(Photo courtesy Indiana Courts)Judge Matthew C. Kincaid, the son of a long-serving Boone County judge, said his desire to enter the legal profession was informed by discussions around the home in his youth about matters that came before the court. “I was just always instilled with a respect for lawyers and a respect for the law that made it a natural conclusion for me to study law,†he said.
With 13 years’ experience on the bench after private practice, he said the time to apply was right. “I’m not too old, and I’m not too young,†he said.
Judge Steven R. Nation said he’s always tried to build consensus and treat those who appear before him with respect. He said he also has administrative experience that would benefit the court. “When people are there in front of the court, they must feel you are fair and listen to them and give them an opportunity to speak,†he said.
He said it’s as important that people in towns such as Cicero and Atlanta have access to the same level of public services as people in Carmel or Fishers.
Barnes & Thornburgh LLP partner Peter Rusthoven, center, sits in the interview chair before the commission on Feb. 17. Rusthoven is among 15 applicants who will be interviewed again next month. (Photo courtesy Indiana Courts)Peter J. Rusthoven was asked whether his extensive high-profile experience in federal court and in the administration of President Ronald Reagan might make appointment to the Supreme Court less of an achievement. “I don’t view this as being stuck at the state level, I view this as being where I want to be,†Rusthoven said.
“Working at the state level on this court would be more rewarding for me.†He also said his administrative experience would be useful on the court.
Geoffrey G. Slaughter told the commission his work as president of the Indiana Bar Foundation has illuminated the need to extend civil representation and legal assistance to unrepresented litigants and those in need.
Chairing the Judicial Nominating Commission, Indiana Chief Justice Loretta Rush reviews an application as she interviews a candidate seeking to replace retiring Justice Brent Dickson. (Photo courtesy Indiana Courts)“I bring the practitioner’s perspective,†he said. “I like to think I would bring to the court experience in some substantive areas of law in which I’ve had some relevant experience, mostly in the business realm,†he said.
Rep. Thomas W. Washburne was asked about his unique credentials as a state representative and corporate counsel. “I think being in the General Assembly is an interesting experience for a lawyer because you find yourself being a lawyer to a lot of people,†he said. “When you’re an in-house lawyer, you’re dealing first hand with the impacts decisions have on people.â€
He would hope people would say of his service that he was “fair, honest, well-reasoned, and cared deeply about the country.â€
Thomas E. Wheeler II stressed his 30 years as a trial lawyer and his connections with the Legislature and current and former governors. The former chairman of the Indiana Election Commission, whose decision that stripped the office from former Secretary of State Charlie White was affirmed by the high court, noted the political nature of the case.
He said the bipartisan committee handled the case collegially. “We were able to work together, and that’s what needed to happen,†Wheeler said.•

BREAKING NEWS: Evansville Attorney Lori Sherman launches Bid For Democrat Nomination To House District 77 Seat
Attorney Lori Sherman Launches Bid For Democrat Nomination To House District 77 Seat
Evansville, IN – Evansville native and Attorney Lori Sherman today announced the kickoff of her campaign for the Democrat nomination for the Indiana House in District 77. She officially entered the primary race on Feb. 1, when she filed with the Indiana Board of Election at Indianapolis.
This is Sherman’s first run for public office, and she made her decision after talking with the community – those she seeks to serve in the State House. She pledged to be “a voice for the under-represented, an advocate for children and families, and a beacon of hope for those who have gone for far too long without it.â€
“Serving as a State Representative is about people rather than politics,†she said.
If elected, Sherman will be the first African-American woman to serve as State Representative in District 77.
“I believe that success should not be reserved for those who can afford it or those who were born with advantages that make it easy to achieve success,†Sherman added, explaining that she was born into a large family living below the poverty line. She realized at an early age that in order to change her circumstance, she would have to work hard and tirelessly to find her purpose in life.
After graduating from Culver Elementary, Glenwood Middle School and Harry A. Burke High School with honors, Sherman attended Bennett College for Women in Greensboro, N.C. where she received her degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.
She was admitted to a number of top-tier law schools, but she accepted a scholarship to Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law in Bloomington in order to return to the Midwest. She is one of five African-American attorneys currently practicing in Evansville. Sherman works for the Indiana Department of Child Services.
As State Representative, she will focus on family and children’s issues, creation of jobs that pay a living wage, preventing blight and overhaul of the ISTEP system. She will work tirelessly for the inclusion of Ivy Tech in the IU Medical Center in Evansville.
More information about Sherman and her campaign will appear on Sherman’s website, www.lorisherman31-8-9.com. The web address references the Bible verse Proverbs 31: 8-9, which embodies Sherman’s passion and willingness to advocate for people.
“It took a village to raise me, and I give much of the credit to Sheila Huff, Denise Strawn and Sheri Chestnut at Glenwood Middle School. They refused to give up on me, and they gave me hope. I owe them a lot. Because so many of my teachers took a special interest in me, I am obligated to make good on their investment,†she added.
