Indy Hires Attorney to Prosecute Violent Crimes, Bill to Reduce Wetland Protections, FSSA Cuts, Walk & Talk Tours for NBA All-Star Weekend

Indianapolis has hired the first of three attorneys whose jobs will be to prosecute more people on the federal level for violent crimes. A controversial bill that would reduce protections for the state’s wetlands is headed to Governor Eric Holcomb’s desk. The Family and Social Services Administration proposed cuts to a program that supports care for children with disabilities - the lieutenant governor and families of medically complex children are calling for a pause to the implementation of the cuts. The NBA All-Star Game comes to Indianapolis soon - a series of arts and cultural events are planned for visitors and residents, including the return of the Through2Eyes cultural tour, with a nod to basketball.
