Stop Making Police Into Bad Guys!
Government is, itself, supposed to be governed. Regulators are to be regulated. And justices are supposed to be just. That is how the police are to be policed.
Police officers can’t reasonably be expected to enforce, impose and collect counterproductive, unfair, unconstitutional rules, fines, takings, prohibitions, mandates, taxes and punishments that have already become so numerous as to be unknowable, so complex as to be uninterpretable, and so unreasonable as to be unenforceable in any fair and uniform way.
Unfortunately, our government is destructively, unsustainably, and of course unconstitutionally, corrupt.
But just as counterproductive, unconstitutional foreign policy creates problems around the world and brings them back home, bad politics made immigration a problem in a nation of immigrants. It fans the flames of race and other class divisions. And of course, bad, unconstitutional politics has destroyed our respect of important institutions and civic roles…like police.
It’s good that more communities are remembering that police forces didn’t use to be, and don’t have to be, operated by politicians. Competition is good.
But let’s all remember that the current problems with policing are with the politicians who hire, train, equip, pay, direct and discipline them.
In other words, police are taking the hit for bad politics.
No other candidate for IN08 US House has any intention or desire to regulate our government. They all want it bigger, costlier, more dangerously powerful.
I am the only candidate who wants to put a leash where it most needs to be put. On politicians!
How?
There isn’t a candidate with more written on that subject. Please see my blog at https://wedeclare.wordpress.com/, and my websites at http://andrewhorning.wix.com/horningforcongress and http://www.horning4congress.com/ for more information than you’ll find on any other candidate.
NEWS FROM CHANNEL 44 T V -OWENSBORO HEALTH PERFORMS FIRST FETUS ECHOCARDIOGRAM
by BRITNEY TAYLOR KENTUCKY, OWENSBORO
Owensboro Health Regional Hospital partnered with University of Louisville to perform the first fetal echocardiogram.
A fetal echocardiogram (echo for short) is a diagnostic tool that uses ultrasound waves to create images of a baby’s heart. These images show the structure and function of the baby’s heart. A doctor can then review the images allowing them to diagnose heart conditions and problems. The fetal echo is designed to help identify “high-risk pregnancies†and take the proper steps to care for the mother and baby.
The first fetal echo was completed June 6th at Owensboro Health by sonographers with the electrodiagnostics unit. The images were sent to a UofL doctor and other specialists. According to specialists from Owensboro Health and UofL, this enhances prenatal and newborn care in Owensboro and the surrounding region.
Manager of the Electrodiagnostics unit at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital, RN, Sara Abell says, “The goal is to identify babies with cardiac defects and manage their care in the safest way possible, and for as many babies to be delivered as close to home as possible. Fetal echocardiograms can help the physicians guide the families appropriately.â€

TROPICANA EVANSVILLE TO BREAK GROUND ON NEW ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX JULY 19
In an ongoing commitment to give players MORE, Tropicana Evansville will break ground on a new 75,000 square foot entertainment complex Tuesday, July 19, 2016. The new development will dramatically transform the 21-year-old riverfront casino property.
“Evansville is the entertainment hub of the entire Tri-State Area. This extensive expansion project, along with Tropicana’s distinctive service program, will provide guests with a new and vibrant hospitality experience,” said John Chaszar, General Manager of Tropicana Evansville.
The ground breaking event will be held at the construction site from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on July 19. Tropicana representatives will gather with local and state officials and invited guests to officially launch the construction phase of the land-based entertainment complex.
Joining Chaszar will be Tropicana Entertainment President & CEO, Tony Rodio; Evansville Mayor, Lloyd Winnecke; and Executive Director of the Indiana Gaming Commission, Sara Tait. Media representatives are invited to attend the ground breaking event. Reserved parking will be provided for media vehicles at the construction site entrance.
The expansion project includes 45,000 square feet of new gaming space, a yet-to-be-named upscale restaurant and bar, a deli, and a combination lounge/entertainment venue. The new facility is expected to open in December of 2017. Visit the live Construction Cam feed atwww.tropevansville.com to watch the project take shape.
Southern District Mandatory Pro Bono Service To Start In October
Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com
Attorneys could be tapped to handle cases under the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana’s new mandatory pro bono rule before the end of this year.
The District Court has adopted Local Rule 87, which is designed to bolster the number of lawyers available to represent pro se litigants at no charge. Two pools of attorneys will be created — the volunteer panel will consist of lawyers who offer their services to the court, and the obligatory panel will be filled with lawyers who are required to provide representation.
Unrepresented litigants who have shown the court they cannot afford legal assistance and whose cases have cleared substantial hurdles, like surviving summary judgment, will be provided pro bono attorneys. If none of the volunteer attorneys take the case, the court will pull a lawyer from the obligatory pool.
Attorneys who have appeared before the court at least 10 times in civil cases during 2015 will be placed in the obligatory panel and assigned cases. The calculation is based on the number of court appearances filed, not on the length of time representing a particular client. If a lawyer files an appearance in 2015 and the case continues through 2016 and into 2017, the court will only count that as one appearance.
The new rule will take effect Sept. 1, 2016, but the first obligatory panel will not become active until Oct. 1. Lawyers chosen to be in the first round will be notified of their selection about a month in advance.
New obligatory panels will be pulled together each quarter. Similar to jury pools, attorneys who are placed in the panel but not given a case will be absolved from serving in the obligatory panels created during the next three quarters.
Malpractice insurance coverage will be available through the Heartland Pro Bono Counsel and the Indiana Pro Bono Districts.
The new rule was formulated by a court-appointed committee in response to a series of remands from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. Cases were being sent back because the Chicago panel felt the District Court should have recruited counsel to represent the indigent litigants. Many of these litigants are incarcerated.
Posted for public comment in May 2016, the proposed rule brought 10 written comments which, according to the court, is a record.
In response to concerns from the Indiana State Bar Association and the Indianapolis Bar Association, the court altered the language in the Duties of Recruited Counsel section. Now an attorney tapped from the obligatory panel has seven days to file a motion to withdraw if representing the pro se litigant would conflict with an existing client.
Lawyers who provide their services pro bono to unrepresented litigants will be able to recoup some money for expenses.
According to a general order issued with the announcement of the adoption of the new rule, attorneys recruited to provide representation may petition the court for prepayment or reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses.
The expenses considered appropriate for reimbursement or prepayment include deposition and transcription costs; travel expenses; fees for serving papers and appearance of witnesses; interpreter services; and costs of photocopies, photographs and telephone calls.
Attorneys must get approval in advance if the expense will exceed $1,000. Also, all requests for payment of expenses must be filed with and approved by the judge assigned to the case. No payment will be made without a court order.
The money for the expenses will be appropriated from the court’s Library Fund. Recruited counsel who are awarded fees must repay the fund for any expenses paid as part of litigating the case.
The District Court is preparing resources to help attorneys who represent these clients. It is planning a continuing legal education program for Sept. 21, and it will be making James Chapman available to attorneys who have questions about their pro bono cases. Chapman is an Illinois attorney and has worked extensively with prisoners through his organization, the Illinois Institute for Community Law and Affairs.
For more information, attorneys should visit the Southern Indiana District Court’s website and click on the “Pro Bono Opportunities & Resources†bar in the center of the screen.
