GREGG, HALE RELEASE VETERANS SERVICES PLAN
Proposal focuses on jobs, skills and better customer service
INDIANAPOLIS – Calling for a renewed commitment to those who have served in our nation’s military, today John Gregg, Democratic candidate for governor, released a proposal to improve state services for veterans.
According to recent reports, Indiana is ranked second to last in the nation for military retirees and 46th worst for veterans receiving the benefits they have earned. Between 2013 and 2014, Indiana saw a 65 percent increase in the number of veterans leaving the state.
“Indiana can and should be a more veteran-friendly state, and will be with new leadership that focuses on practical solutions and creative partnerships, not politics, ideology or empty rhetoric,†said Gregg, a former university president and Speaker of the Indiana House. “Hoosier veterans are motivated, hardworking and bring unique skills to our state. Indiana needs to do all it can to better engage them in our economy and assist in getting them the benefits they have earned.â€
The Gregg/Hale Veterans Services Plan will be implemented by re-prioritizing Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs spending and eliminating duplicative services, all done without raising taxes. The proposal includes:
•   Streamlining Job Placement Assistance Services. Governor Gregg will order a comprehensive review of the state’s job placement services for veterans to eliminate duplication and confusion and will create new partnerships with the state’s colleges and universities to develop short-term skills programs that result in transferable skills, credentials and certifications.
•    Implementing a Statewide Marketing and Outreach Campaign. As proposed in a 2014 internal Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs evaluation, a Gregg/Hale administration will develop a statewide marketing campaign to educate veterans on the various benefits they are eligible for and how to access them.
•   Adding Veteran Service Officers. In order to leverage more federal benefits and assist more Hoosier veterans, a Gregg/Hale administration will create state level service officers and add women veteran service officers, offer evening and weekend office hours to more easily accommodate the needs of Hoosier veterans and better coordinate with veterans’ service organizations that are already providing assistance. Increasing the amount of federal benefits Hoosier veterans receive by just 10 percent a year, or $853 million, would generate approximately $17 million more in tax dollars.
•   Attracting More Service Members and Veterans to Indiana. Active duty service members are discharged at installations across the country, including in the Midwest, at a rate of more than 1,000 per month. As governor, Gregg will ask his lieutenant governor, Christina Hale, to lead a working group made of various veteran organizations and other stakeholders from the business, civic and philanthropic communities to develop policy and programs to market Indiana to discharged veterans and their families as their next home – helping to fill Indiana’s projected shortage of skilled workers.
•    Increasing Advocacy on Behalf of Hoosier Veterans.  In addition to advocating for more veteran benefits, Governor Gregg will direct the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs to seek more federal funding to better support Hoosier veterans and their families and assist federal agencies wherever possible to improve services and reduce wait times.
“John Gregg and I are committed to making immediate and necessary improvements to support Hoosier veterans, their families and their futures,†said State Representative Christina Hale, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor. “They have served us and now we have the opportunity to do a better job of serving them – and it’s a responsibility we will meet.â€

Mentally ill women should have attorney, 7th Circuit rules
Scott Roberts for www.theindianalawyer.con
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled a mentally ill woman who filed a federal lawsuit challenging her conviction and sentence for murder should have had a lawyer appointed to her and remanded the case to District Court.
Anastazia Schmid was convicted in state court of murdering her boyfriend in 2001. During the trial she testified she heard a voice telling her she is the Messiah. She said the voice told her the boyfriend needed to die because he sexually abused her daughter. She was sentenced to 55 years in prison, the last five suspended to probation.
She sought collateral review in state court and had a lawyer appointed to her. When those proceedings were finished, she filed in federal court, but the District Court ruled her filing was 15 months too late. Schmid, who filed pro se, argued equitable tolling should have applied because the previous lawyer on the case was slow in getting needed papers to her, and because of her mental problems. The District Court denied her filing as untimely as Schmid did not identify the particular documents she needed or why she needed them.
The 7th Circuit ruled that the District Court should have appointed counsel to Schmid. “Counsel could have investigated Schmid’s mental condition and explored the contents of prior counsel’s files, formulating an explanation for delay satisfactory to the district judge. We remand this case with directions to appoint counsel and, if appropriate, hold an evidentiary hearing,†Judge Frank Easterbrook wrote for the panel.
The case is Anastazia Schmid v. Steven McCauley, superintendent, Indiana Women’s Prison, 14-2974.

IS IT TRUE JUNE 8, 2016
IS IT TRUE that being selected as a “Promise Zone” puts Evansville on a list of 20 places across the country from Appalachia, to the Choctaw Reservation, to the most impoverished areas of big cites, that have been identified as “20 of the highest poverty urban, rural, and tribal communities across America?…while this designation is an opportunity to move toward positive change it is not in any way an endorsement for the status quo in Evansville?…being identified as on the same level as the worst parts of cities like Atlanta, Philadelphia, Camden, and Los Angeles is absolutely not a badge of honor?
IS IT TRUE this designation as a “Promise Zone” is an indictment of what 50 years of crony capitalism under the thumb of the machine has done to Evansville, Indiana? …this is a wake up call and an offer of outside help to fix the things that a legacy of leadership has failed to do?
IS IT TRUE we urge you to open the attached link so you can read the details of yet another “Pie In the Sky” governmental give away program to help local leaders put people back to work? Â …the last paragraph of this link says it all?
http://www.rd.usda.gov/about-rd/initiatives/promise-zones
IS IT TRUEÂ that once again Mayor Winnecke is dealt another unexpected financial blow? Â …the mainstream media reported that the Streetscape portion of the IU Downtown Medical School is over budget by 20% which is part of the overall Medical School Bond?
IS IT TRUE that the Mayor Winnecke should be getting accustomed  to capital project being over budget considering that his North Mains Street project was originally touted at $13 million and now it’s $18 million?
IS IT TRUE he now has convinced the apparent financially challenged City Council leadership that the  $5 million dollar cost overrun for the North Main project was to be expected? …can anyone help us to convince the City Council leadership that a 40% increase of a public works project is unacceptable?
IS IT TRUE that the original downtown Hotel budget went over budget by $14 million dollars?  … right after that information was made public, we began to hear the phase, “Value Engineering† which is code for a cheapened down the Hotel project?  … consequently “Value Engineering” mean”, no roof-top lounge, no in-door swinging pool,  no central air conditioning, no 10 story structure,  no apartment facility which our medical students could had utilized for housing.?  …we can’t wait to see how the Mayor is going to make “Value Engineering”  adjustments to  the new Downtown Medical School?
FOOTNOTES: Our next “IS IT TRUE†will be posted on this coming Friday.
