Bills to Fight Negligent Landlords, Lawmakers Tell FSSA to Pause Proposed Cuts, Safety on Public Beaches, Employers Paying for Training and Education

Housing advocates gathered at the Statehouse yesterday to rally behind legislation that protects renters against negligent landlords. The lieutenant governor and several lawmakers have called for the Family and Social Services Administration to “pause” proposed cuts. 39 people drowned in Lake Michigan last year. Six of them along Indiana beaches and other public sites - a state senator is trying to pass legislation that would require all public beaches and piers to have rescue equipment nearby. Some Indiana companies are paying for employee training and education to invest in their workforce.
