Greg Ballard Secures Spot on Indiana Secretary of State Ballot as Lincoln Party Candidate

Greg Ballard Secures Spot on Indiana Secretary of State Ballot as Lincoln Party Candidate

Former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard has successfully secured a place on the ballot for the upcoming Indiana Secretary of State race as a candidate from the newly formed Lincoln Party. Ballard achieved this by collecting 40,361 valid signatures, surpassing the required 36,943 signatures. This development follows Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales's certification of Ballard's nomination. Ballard, who served as Indianapolis's Republican mayor from 2008 to 2016, will compete against Republican Max Engling, Democrat Beau Bayh, and Libertarian Lauri Shillings in the November election. The Lincoln Party aims to establish itself as a viable political force, and if Ballard garners more than 2% of the vote, the party's candidates will automatically appear on the general election ballot for the next four years.

Governor Braun Appoints New Utilities Commissioner Amid Affordability Concerns

Governor Braun Appoints New Utilities Commissioner Amid Affordability Concerns

Governor Mike Braun of Indiana has appointed Joby Jerrells as the new commissioner for the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). This decision comes in the wake of a controversial rate increase approved by the commission for AES Indiana, which led to the resignation of a commissioner and the appointment of a new chair. Jerrells, who previously served as the chief counsel of the Advisory Division and Ethics Counsel at the Indiana Office of Attorney General, will replace Commissioner David Veleta. The IURC is responsible for overseeing utility rates and ensuring a balance between affordability, reliability, and the interests of ratepayers and utility companies. Jerrells' appointment is part of a broader push by Governor Braun to address affordability issues and explore nuclear energy options in the state.

Indiana Implements New Law Requiring Students to Lock Up Cellphones During School

A new law in Indiana, signed by Governor Mike Braun, mandates that students must keep their cellphones locked away during the entire school day. Senate Bill 78, effective from the start of the new school year, requires students to leave their devices at home or store them in their backpacks, purses, or lockers. Previously, students were allowed to use their phones during lunch and between classes. The law aims to reduce distractions and increase student engagement in the classroom. However, it has sparked mixed reactions, with some students and parents expressing concerns about safety and communication during emergencies.

Brown County Board Seeks to Expand Deam Wilderness and Establish New Recreation Area

Brown County Board Seeks to Expand Deam Wilderness and Establish New Recreation Area

The Brown County Board of Commissioners has voted to request the reintroduction of federal legislation aimed at expanding the Charles C. Deam Wilderness Area and establishing a new National Recreation Area in Indiana. The proposed legislation, known as the Benjamin Harrison National Recreation Area and Wilderness Establishment Act, was initially introduced by former U.S. Senator Mike Braun and Representative Erin Houchin in 2023 and 2024. It seeks to double the size of the Deam Wilderness from 12,953 acres to 28,253 acres. The expansion would involve adding over 15,000 acres of existing Hoosier National Forest land. The legislation includes provisions to maintain access for mountain bikers and equestrians while imposing stricter regulations on recreational activities and land management compared to national forests.
