A Beautifully Choreographed Study In Collaborative Government

6

Last night’s City Council meeting was a beautifully choreographed study in collaborative government. Not a single “nay” vote was cast during the meeting.  Granted, most of the issues taken up were largely non-controversial. It was mostly re-zonings , accompanied by the a reciprocal agreement between the cities of Henderson and Evansville Fire Departments in case of a disaster. Fire Chief Mike Connolley delivered some good news to the Council when he informed them that money from a federal grant had been used to get firefighters a second set of gear. That will make it possible to get gear that is contaminated with carcinogens cleaned immediately and reduce the exposure to toxic materials.

We heard from Russ Lloyd about some fund-shuffling from the Riverboat Fund. Money from the Street and Road Fund is being replaced with boat money, as it is a capital expenditure. We expect this will be a regular occurrence until the $13 million that is not yet allocated is gone.  The City-County Plan for 2016 to 2035 was passed with praise for the plan and the Area Plan Commission.  No questions were asked, and no details offered. The Town of Darmstadt must also approve it, and we suspect there may be some questions when it is presented there.

Kelly Coures made his regular appearance to seek permission to juggle some DMD funds, when he told the Council that ECHO housing is passing a $30,000 grant it received along to AURORA, the homeless outreach program. The unexpected cut in Federal funding to that agency has left the city scrambling to find operating cash to keep the agency afloat. Coures also told the Council members about a press conference given earlier in the day, in which Councilman Weaver announced the kick-off of a Capital Campaign for AURORA, which will seek to raise $160,000 to devote to the operation of the agency.

DMD Director Kelly Coures  told City Council that he needs some extra money for paying for rooms for the neighborhood representatives that will be attending the Regional Neighborhoods Conference in Illinois.  He said DMD didn’t set aside enough to pay for the block of rooms they are furnishing for the various neighborhood activists that have been chosen to represent Evansville. Course never explained what kind of accommodations the Evansville tax payers was furnishing the collaborative neighborhood folks, not one Council member questioned it.

We had the distinct feeling that we were watching an amateur theater presentation instead of a meeting of the governing body of a vibrant city.

On the plus side, it does appear that Missy Mosby is beginning to be more familiar with Roberts Rules and is reading her lines better.

GREGG/HALE ANNOUNCE PLAN TO GROW JOBS, STIMULATE THE ECONOMY  

1
INDIANAPOLIS – Vowing to focus on the state’s economic vitality and not divisive social issues, today Democratic candidate for governor John Gregg announced a comprehensive 35-point plan to move Indiana forward.

Joined at the announcement by his running mate, State Rep. Christina Hale, the Gregg/Hale Economic Growth Plan includes detailed proposals to grow higher-wage jobs, attract and retain business and better prepare the Hoosier workforce for jobs of the future.

“While Mike Pence has been obsessing over social issues, Hoosier working families are falling further and further behind,” said Gregg, a former university president and Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives. “We need to reset our priorities and refocus on the big mission of economic growth for all Hoosiers in all communities across the state. That’s what our proposal does.”

It is the eighth in a series of policy proposals already released by the campaign. In addition to specific policy proposals, the Gregg/Hale Economic Growth Plan outlines benchmarks by which their administration will measure the state’s progress. Those metrics include reversing Indiana’s population decline, raising wages and increasing the number of Hoosiers with two-year degrees or more.

“Our plan takes the best ideas from business, labor, entrepreneurs, academic and economic development leaders to streamline programs, cut waste, better utilize our tax dollars and build upon the good things that have already been done,” said State Rep. Christina Hale, a former Kiwanis International executive. “Indiana’s economic challenges won’t be solved overnight, that’s why setting measurable goals and developing a long-term, strategic plan like this is so critically important. It’s about results.”

Specifically, the Gregg/Hale Economic Growth Plan includes:

• Building and Retaining a Skilled Workforce. As governor, Gregg will institute an optional pre-school for all 4-year olds across the state; pass a workshare program into law to secure more jobs; map existing workforce training efforts to create better coordination among service providers; and target more of the state’s training dollars towards high-wage, high-growth sectors of the economy: life sciences, advanced manufacturing, agribusiness, information technology and 21st century logistics.• Growing Indiana Small Business. Indiana ranks 47th in the nation for business startups. To spur growth Gregg will eliminate the 21st Century Research and Development Fund and repurpose its $40 million into a venture capital matching grant and loan program called the GO Fund; update the state’s venture capital tax credit; support the creation of business incubators in rural communities; order a review of the state’s tax code to help small business and; decouple state contracts so more Hoosier businesses can compete for state work.

• Supporting Existing Business. Gregg’s plans call for revitalizing the state’s trade and export assistance efforts to help small and medium sized Hoosier businesses; creating a taskforce to fight tax fraud; improving broadband access in underserved areas and; mapping Indiana’s water and sewer infrastructure in order to prioritize future projects.

• Streamlining the State’s Economic and Training Efforts. Gregg will diversify the Indiana Economic Development Corporation board to include education, infrastructure and workforce experts and will require quicker turnarounds and more transparency in the agency; work with the state’s 69 airports to better utilize land for new economic development opportunities; and align all state agency service maps to ensure greater collaboration and support to local communities.

• Leveraging Partnerships. Gregg will seek legislation to give local governments the flexibility to use local option income taxes for economic development and quality of life projects and; he will designate a staffer within the governor’s office to work with the $6 billion philanthropic community in Indiana to better coordinate efforts, secure funding for state projects and develop new partnerships.

• Rebuilding the State’s Reputation. With the state’s economy still suffering from Governor Pence’s discriminatory Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Gregg will work to repeal the law, update the state’s civil rights code to include LGBT Hoosiers and create a public-private advertising fund to help repair the state’s image.

The Gregg/Hale Economic Growth Plan will be funded using existing dollars within the state budget and will require no additional funding. To read the entire plan, click here or visit http://www.greggforgovernor.com/issues/economic-growth/

7th Circuit Affirms Government Employees Must Resign After Elected To Office

7th Circuit Court Affirms Government Employees Must Resign After Elected To Office

Scott Roberts for www.theindianalawyer.com

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an Indiana law that prevents people employed by the government to also hold elected office in the same municipality they are employed in. The law was challenged by a host of individuals who both serve on city and town councils and work for the same town as police officers, office managers and firefighters.

Led by Matthew Claussen, the plaintiffs claimed the law violated their First Amendment rights as well as their rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Passed in 2012, Indiana Code 3-5-9-5 states” an individual is considered to have resigned as a government employee when the individual assumes an elected office of the unit that employs the individual.”

The plaintiffs sued the state of Indiana and the Indiana State Board of Accounts in the Northern District of Indiana, and the state field a motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). The defendants amended their complaint before the ruling and substituted Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as defendant. The District Court granted the motion to dismiss.

Circuit Court Judge Joel Flaum pointed out in his decision that the Indiana law falls within the bounds of settled U.S. Supreme Court precedent and noted that time and again the Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of “resign-to-run” laws. While Indiana’s law does not force a candidate to resign if they want to run for elected office in the same municipality they are employed in, it does make them resign if they are elected.

Plaintiffs argued the right to hold office is derived from the right to vote and is a fundamental right, and the law burdens voters by limiting the field of candidates from which they may choose. However, the 7th Circuit said the right to assume or hold office once elected is not a fundamental right and said “there is ‘no palpable distinction’ between a prohibition on running for office and a prohibition on holding office,” citing Krisher v. Sharpe 763 F. Supp. 1313, 1319 (E.D. Pa 1991).

The law must balance an individual’s First Amendment rights with public interest, Flaum said, and in this case the public interest outweighs the First Amendment rights. Flaum wrote, “Indiana has a genuine and compelling interest in avoiding corruption and self?dealing and the appearance of such things,” and allowing civil servants to serve on a legislative body where they can set their own salary “provides an opportunity for self-dealing and gives the appearance of possible corruption.” There may also be laws that come up for vote that an elected official might have a particular interest in.

Plaintiffs’ 14th Amendment claims also fail because the law passes a rational basis analysis test. They claimed government contractors and civil servants derive a financial benefit from the government employing them, but only the civil servants are subject to the law. However, Indiana subjects contractors to extensive disclosure requirements and the state does not have to address all manifestations of corruption at once.

The case is Matthew D. Claussen, et al. v. Michael R. Pence, Governor of the State of Indiana, et al., 16-1003.

Keeping Federal Mandates Out Of Hoosier Bathrooms

Keeping Federal Mandates Out Of Hoosier Bathrooms

by Ron Beacon

Gender identity and the use of school bathrooms and locker rooms is a major topic of discussion across the nation, from newspaper headlines, to debates in school board meetings and mandates from the federal government.

Recently, President Barack Obama set forth guidelines for how schools across the nation should handle bathroom usage. These guidelines say that schools must now allow students who identify as transgender the option to use the bathroom and locker room that matches their gender identity, not their biological sex. The U.S. Department of Education is threatening to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars Hoosier schools receive in federal funding if they do not comply.

I have researched Indiana law and spoken with local prosecutors on this issue. There is no law in Indiana prohibiting anyone from using the bathroom of their choice. A person can walk into a public bathroom and use it for what a bathroom was intended to be used for and still be a law-abiding citizen. If other actions take place in the bathroom, like indecent exposure or harassment, for example, then the bathroom is not being used for what it was intended for and these actions become a criminal offense.

Schools can put policies in place to keep students safe. This is where I believe those closer to their citizens are best suited to handle local issues. School boards throughout the state are already implementing, on a case-by-case basis, guidelines on behalf of their students. School board leaders, which are elected by local residents, can do what is best for students on an individual basis instead of a one-size fits all mandate from the federal government. Currently, schools across the state are conducting open forums and meetings, encouraging respectful dialogue with parents and community members to ensure that the appropriate decision is made to have a welcoming learning environment for students.

Last month, Indiana Congressman Luke Messer introduced the PUBLIC School Act (Prohibiting the Usurpation of Bathroom Laws through Independent Choice School Act), which would allow schools to make decisions regarding gender identity and the use of school bathrooms and locker rooms, while not losing their federal funds for not complying.

While Messer is working hard for Indiana at the federal level, state lawmakers on the Interim Study Committee on Courts and the Judiciary also will be meeting throughout the summer and fall months to examine civil rights issues related to gender identity and sexual orientation.

So I can better serve you and our community, I encourage you to contact me with your thoughts on this topic and others by calling 317-232-9833 or emailing me h75@iga.in.gov. Stay up-to-date with the work being done at the Statehouse by signing up to receive my email updates at www.in.gov/75.

Pereira Joins Highly Touted  Recruiting Class

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – This morning, University of Evansville Head Women’s Tennis Coach Jayson Wiseman announced the signing of Nicoli Attili Pereira to a National Letter of Intent to join the Purple Aces Women’s Tennis Program beginning fall of 2016.

Pereira hails from Santos, Brazil where she has been a highly successful junior tennis player. Since 2012 Nicoli has been the champion or runner up in 13 Brazilian national tournaments and has also competed in several ITF international events. Pereira has been ranked as high as #3 in Brazil for Girl’s 18 and under.

“I am exceptionally pleased to announce the addition of Nicoli Pereira to our program for the 2016-17 season,” Wiseman said.  “Her all court game and match experience at such a high level will be an excellent addition to our line up in both singles and doubles.”

“The addition of Nicoli to this recruiting class along with our returning players gives us much more quality and depth than last season,” Wiseman added.  “With the group of young women we will have on the courts next season, we have great expectations for next year.

California-Based Tech Firm Relocating Headquarters from Silicon Valley to Indiana

0

Indianapolis - Governor Mike Pence and Lt. Governor Eric Holcomb joined Carmel city officials and executives from Determine Inc. (NASDAQ: DTRM) today as the company announced plans to relocate its headquarters from San Mateo, California, to Carmel, Indiana, advancing growth in Central Indiana’s tech community which is adding jobs three times faster than the national average.

“Indiana’s tech sector is thriving, and today I am proud to mark yet another milestone as we welcome Determine’s global headquarters to the Hoosier state,” said Governor Pence. “In Indiana, we maintain a balanced budget and have cut costs and taxes, creating a fiscally predictable environment that allows entrepreneurs and job creators to invest in what matters most – their business and their employees. With a strong community of innovators, top universities training tomorrow’s leaders and a business climate designed for job creation, I am confident that Indiana will be a key partner in supporting Determine’s growth worldwide.”

Determine, a global provider of cloud-based contract lifecycle management, will invest $720,191 to lease and equip a 9,000-square-foot office at 615 W. Carmel Drive in Carmel, which will officially become Determine’s global headquarters this month. Expanding from an Indiana satellite office in Carmel, the build out of the new space is now complete and the headquarters will provide a home base for the company’s growing operations worldwide, which today also includes offices in California, Georgia, France and the United Kingdom. Serving more than 300 clients around the world, including many Fortune 100 companies, Determine’s customers include Kellogg’s, Republic Airways, Sony Music Entertainment, Brunswick, AOL, Cushman & Wakefield and Nordstrom.

As part of its growth, Determine plans to add 24 high-wage jobs at its new Hamilton County headquarters by 2019. The company currently employs more than 160 associates globally, including approximately 35 in Indiana. Determine is now hiring for customer support, professional services, software development and financial positions. Interested applicants may apply online at www.determine.com/jobs.

“We are so excited to be moving from California’s Silicon Valley to Indiana’s Silicon Prairie to make our new corporate home,” said Patrick Stakenas, president and chief executive officer of Determine. “The exceptionally high quality of the talent pool in Indiana, the strong, growing technology sector along with a centralized location, which makes it easy for us to stay in touch with our operations in Europe as well as the West Coast, made the choice obvious. Locating in Carmel offers us an extremely solid business environment and a quality of life that will allow us to attract and retain talented employees. Due to these key points, the bulk of our future U.S.-based growth will be in Indiana, and we look forward to a long and valued relationship with the city of Carmel and the state of Indiana.”

Founded as Selectica in 1996, the company rebranded as Determine just last year after acquiring Carmel-based Iasta in 2014 and France-based b-pack in 2015. With the merger of the three companies, Determine is a leading global provider of SaaS Source to Pay and Enterprise Contract Lifecycle Management solutions offered through the Determine Cloud Platform, which includes strategic sourcing, supplier management, contract management and procure-to-pay applications. Determine was recently recognized by Spend Matters, a business-to-business publication, as a Top 50 Provider to Know after earning $7.1 million in revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016.

“Carmel is always pleased when a company decides to establish its headquarters here,” said Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard. “But it’s even more gratifying when a company as prestigious as Determine, which was already in a great location near San Francisco, recognizes the benefits of moving its headquarters to Indiana, specifically Carmel. We welcome Determine into our family of more than 100 corporate headquarters and we look forward to watching you expand in the future.”

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Determine Inc. up to $400,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Carmel supports the project.

In Indiana, Determine is joining a booming tech community and a growing list of firms like Appirio and Rook Security that have relocated headquarters operations from California. Just last month, California-based Salesforce announced plans to invest $40 million into its Indiana operations, establishing Salesforce Tower Indianapolis and creating 800 new high-wage jobs over the next few years. According to real estate firm CBRE Research, the Indianapolis area added more than 3,000 high-tech jobs from 2012 to 2014, growing at a rate of 18 percent and exceeding the national average of 5.7 percent.

USI finishes 25th in final Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings

0

The University of Southern Indiana Department of Athletics posted its second consecutive top 25 finish in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup standings, finishing the 2015-16 academic year ranked No. 25 in the nation as announced by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.

USI, which is under the leadership of Director of Athletics Jon Mark Hall, was one of three Great Lakes Valley Conference schools to be ranked in the top 25, with Lewis University and the University of Indianapolis finishing sixth and seventh, respectively.

Grand Valley State University held its position as the top Athletic Department in the country for the third straight year and 11th time in the last 13 years after racking up 1070 points, more than 300 points ahead of second-place St. Leo University.

The Screaming Eagles, who finished with 463.0 points, got scoring contributions in nine sports, including six of their eight spring sports.

“We are proud of our top 25 finish in the Learfield Directors’ Cup Standings this year,” Hall said. “Our cross country programs had an outstanding fall and our spring sports really finished strong for us, capped by the great postseason run by our baseball team.

“This is a true indication of how hard our student-athletes and coaches are working and we hope we can continue to improve on our place in these standings,” Hall continued. USI was 24th a year ago after finishing 32nd in 2013-14. Its top finish prior to the 2014-15 season was 30th in 1997-98.

USI Men’s and Women’s Cross Country began the year with 10th-place finishes at the NCAA II Championships before Men’s Track & Field earned a 26th-place finish at the NCAA II Indoor Championships.

In the spring, the Eagles received contributions from Men’s Tennis, Softball, and Women’s Golf before Men’s and Women’s Track & Field posted finishes of 21st and 31st, respectively, at the NCAA II Outdoor Championships.

USI Baseball capped the year off with its fourth NCAA II Championship Series appearance in the last 10 years.

After finishing the fall season ranked No. 24, the Eagles dropped into a tie for No. 53 in the standings with 182 total points heading into the spring. USI, however, received a combined 280.5 points from its spring sports, including a Department-best 78 from Baseball, to leap-frog back into the top 25. The 280.5 points ranked No. 14 in the nation for spring sport scoring.

In all, Men’s Cross Country/Track & Field accounted for 167 points, while Women’s Cross Country/Track & Field accounted for 108 points. Women’s Golf racked up 60 points, while Softball and Men’s Tennis each contributed 25 points.

On the conference level, USI finished fourth in the final All-Sports Trophy standings for 2015-16. The Eagles were eighth in the Commissioner’s Cup standings in 2015-16.
