Opposition To Google’s Data Center, IN Students Miss Less School, Statehouse Gets Petitions Against Redistricting, Former Surgeon General Concerned With Federal COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance

Google’s proposed data center in South Indianapolis is facing another hurdle. At Monday night’s City-County Council meeting, Councilor Michael-Paul Hart, who represents the district, pulled the rezoning plan for more debate. Indiana students are missing less school, a sign that they are slowly recovering from a SURGE in absenteeism in the wake of the pandemic. Voter advocacy groups delivered petitions from about nine thousand Hoosiers to the Statehouse Tuesday, opposing a redistricting effort. There is growing confusion about who should - and can - get a vaccine for COVID-19 as advice from the federal government conflicts with that of some health experts.
