Hailey’s Law Possibility At Statehouse, Government Fraud Coalition, Noblesville School Layoffs, Indy’s Helipad Purchase On Hold, Lawmakers Move Fast To Lure Chicago Bears

After the recent disappearance and death of 17-year-old Hailey Buzbee from Fishers, state lawmakers said they are considering creating a new alert system for missing children. Indiana leaders will give “extra” scrutiny to Medicaid and other federally funded, state-administered social services programs as part of a new entity focused on fraud, waste and abuse. Noblesville Schools says it’s facing a budget deficit and will lay off some staff in the coming weeks to save more than three million dollars a year. The City of Indianapolis’ effort to purchase a downtown heliport, which they’re expected to use for a proposed soccer stadium, is on pause. Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston says lawmakers are moving quickly to pass legislation to lure the Chicago Bears to Indiana.
