EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Softball’s upcoming Ohio Valley Conference home series against the University of Tennessee at Martin at USI Softball Field has been moved up a day to avoid bad weather in the forecast on Saturday.

Attorney General Todd Rokita responds after attending Governor Mike Braun’s announcement of Executive Orders to ‘Make Indiana Healthy Again’
Attorney General Todd Rokita today issued the following response after attending Governor Mike Braun’s announcement of Executive Orders to ‘Make Indiana Healthy Again’ and a working lunch with the Governor, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Speaker of the House Todd Huston:
“Indiana is now going to lead in the movement to Make America Healthy Again! It was great to be at the landmark announcement today where the governor signed several executive orders aimed at improving the state’s health and well-being. These orders are the definition of Hoosier common sense.
“It was also an honor to have Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz here to stand with us as necessary changes are being made to fix the chronic health issues we are facing. Hoosiers in large numbers support the MAHA movement, and the promises that were made are now being kept thanks to the Trump and Braun administration.
Secretary Kennedy is exactly right when he said a healthy child can have 1000 dreams, but a sick kid can only have 1. We owe it to our children, our most precious assets, to give them access to nutritious foods and we owe parents transparency to empower them to make healthy choices.”
