Special Judge Appointed In Judge, Wife Shooting Case, Despite Weather Senators Still Meet Monday, Civilian Led Police Board, Indiana Civic Health Index, Wienie 500 Returns

from WFYI News Now

Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush appointed a special judge after Tippecanoe County Judge Steven Meyer and his wife were both wounded by a shooter at their home in Lafayette. Parts of Indianapolis saw over eleven inches of snow over the weekend but Senators still gathered Monday afternoon at the statehouse. A bill that would ban children under a certain age from owning or using social media was changed slightly in the Senate this week. Civilian-led police oversight boards would become advisory only under a bill moving through the Indiana legislature. Results are in for the latest report that grades Indiana's civic health, or how well Hoosiers interact with their government. After relishing the roar of an enthusiastic crowd, the Wienie 500 will return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
