The video highlights the overview of the taxpayer funded Indiana Economic Development Corporation and the “stakeholder” subsidiary Evansville Regional Economic Partnership. The “Republicans in bad standing” discuss the websites of both organizations and the structure.

The E-REP recently received a $45 million allotment to fund projects in Southwest Indiana. The organization asserts its “Private” and will not allow access to public scrutiny of taxpayer funded projects per a recent VANDERBURGH County Commissioners meeting.

The VANDERBURGH Commission entered into an agreement for “Economic Development Services” in the amount of $300,000.

Houston based CenterPoint Energy provides utility services in Evansville, Indiana. The Texas location is suing.

Why CenterPoint Energy is accused of overcharging customers for years
Judge rules on PUC / CenterPoint CenterPoint Energy, Money, Customers, Hurricane Beryl, Houston, Texas, KPRC 2 Investigates, Public Utility Commission Of Texas, Electric Bills

A judge has denied CenterPoint Energy’s request to dismiss its rate review. The company must now return to the table with regulatory leaders from every city in its service area to negotiate new rates that we all pay on our electric bills. Investigative reporter Amy Davis explains why CenterPoint has been accused of overcharging all of us for years.

RELATED: Details on PUC ruling related to CenterPoint rate increases
If you actually look at your electric bill every month you will notice several different fees and charges.
Amy used her most recent bill as an example.
Used: 3,270 kilowatts of electricity. Electric provider charges = $224 for the energy.
Then they added CenterPoint’s rate. Your bill might also label CenterPoint’s charges as “TDU fees” or Transmission and distribution utility fees.

Chamber: Indiana needs a statewide water plan to avoid conflicts over development

The LEAP pipeline project has created a tug-of-war over the water supply in Tippecanoe County — between residents there and those who want to create an industrial district in Lebanon. The Indiana Chamber of Commerce said conflicts like this show the state needs to start water planning now.

A new report by the Chamber said there’s plenty of water in Indiana right now, but with central Indiana growing and proposed development in other parts of the state — there may not be enough to meet demand in the future. It's an update to a report the Chamber put out a decade ago.

Since 2019, the state has been slowly working to complete regional water studies. Jack Wittman is a hydrologist with INTERA, which helped prepare the Chamber's report. He said the LEAP project has shown the state needs regional and state water plans.

“So it helps us see what other things can we do to make sure that we already anticipated these questions and were ready with information and data," Wittman said.
READ MORE: Growing central Indiana will need more water in the future

Wittman said water plans can help identify what different regions need and where the state can accommodate economic growth — like near the Brookville Reservoir, about an hour northwest of Cincinnati.

“Brookville is not used very much, hardly at all — a couple million gallons a day and it has a huge capacity. So there’s an opportunity basically near Brookville," he said.
Among other things, the Chamber recommends putting one team in charge of statewide water planning, better monitoring Indiana’s water resources and funding water research.

COLBERT COMMENT: The article says the “Chamber” will be conducting a study of water conservation. The “Chamber” is the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. Do not be misled. This is a private NGO that will lobby weak Indiana legislators that will embrace their campaign contributions to “sponsor” a water conservation bill. The project In Lebanon will have to supplement water consumption for the biotech industry. It’s a terrible location. The solution is to waste taxpayers money on a business venture to transport water 50 miles to to the project. Remember the Wabash and Erie Canal that almost bankrupted the state? WARNING ⚠️

Indiana Secretary of State issues Cease and Desist against BlackRock, Inc. for alleged fraud against Hoosier investors

INDIANAPOLIS — Via the Indiana Securities Division, Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales issued a Summary Cease and Desist Order on Thursday against BlackRock, Inc.

The investment company is known for being the world’s largest asset manager, as well as an investment company with multinational coverage. It also provides exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and promotes what is known as ESG factors (environmental, social and governance) on portfolio companies.

However, the Securities Division argues that the assertions BlackRock has made in relation to their ESG products are often false and misleading. The company is accused of telling clients their financial prospects and outcomes would be better in the long run through ESG-backed funds, but Morales stated there is little to no evidence to back that up.
On the other hand, BlackRock claims their funds that are not marketed as ESG do not follow an ESG investment strategy. With that said, they have issued several statements and actions committed to using all of their managed assets, while incorporating ESG considerations. This includes working towards zero carbon emissions, a press release said.

Speaking on the issue, Diego Morales stated “Investment companies that engage in fraudulent activities not only betray the trust of their clients but undermine the integrity of our financial markets.” He then added that his office “…is committed to rigorously enforcing the
law and strengthening our regulatory frameworks to ensure Hoosier investors are protected and that those who exploit the system are held accountable”.

For more information on this Cease and Desist Order or further questions regarding investments, please contact the Indiana Securities Division at (317) 232-6681.

US Education secretary to launch back-to-school bus tour that includes swing states

U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Thursday he is launching a “2024 Back to School Bus Tour” in early September that will include stops in multiple battleground states across the United States as he and other Biden administration officials highlight their work in investing in public education.

While not a campaign event, the Sept. 3-6 tour will take place in the swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, along with stops in Indiana and Illinois. As schools are getting back in session, the department said Cardona, Deputy Secretary of Education Cindy Marten and Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal will shed light on the administration’s “commitment to helping students and communities recover from the impacts of the pandemic by improving academic achievement and succeed from cradle to college and career.”

Cardona said “this year’s Back to School Bus Tour will remind the American people why the Biden-Harris Administration has unapologetically fought for public education, the foundation of opportunity in this country, and the contrast between our efforts and those who wish to destroy public education,” per a Thursday statement.

The Education secretary added that he is “looking forward to lifting up what’s working in public education and celebrating the exciting work taking place in our schools and communities to ensure that all students, no matter their race, place, or background, have opportunities to succeed and contribute to our country.”
Cardona and other officials will be talking about some of the Biden administration’s initiatives in education, such as promoting the importance of regular attendance, providing student debt relief — including through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program — expanding full-service community schools and widening mental health support access at schools.

The department said it has invested more than $357 billion under the Biden administration to “strengthen education across America.”
This year’s tour, with a “Fighting for Public Education” theme, will kick off in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Sept. 3. Other stops in the Badger State will include Madison and Milwaukee. The Education Department said White House domestic policy adviser Neera Tanden and Mandy Cohen, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will also be at some of the stops.
Officials will also visit Chicago, Illinois, and La Porte, Indiana.

Cardona and other administration officials will then take the tour to Michigan, with stops in Grand Rapids, Lansing and Detroit. Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association , will join the tour in Grand Rapids, according to the department. NEA is the largest labor union in the country.
The tour will wrap up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and feature U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. Both the NEA and AFT have endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, the vice president.

COLBERT COMMENT:

Southwest Indiana Legislators continue the invasive “mental health” narrative in the public schools. The “clinics” in the Evansville VANDERBURGH School Corporation is a cancer, establishing a dangerous precedent that the School Administrators embrace without parental or taxpayer consent.

IEDC secures budget approval for LEAP pipeline, land and infrastructure

Indiana’s State Budget Committee on Thursday approved a combined $101 million for a water pipeline, land and infrastructure for a controversial industrial park.

The Indiana Economic Development Corp. (IEDC) also landed permission to augment its deal closing fund by a separate $101 million for a battery plant project worth $6 billion.
Skeptical and supportive lawmakers sparred during the 90-minutes committee meeting, held in Bloomington.

” Qaddoura added. “Then we show up here today and ask for a $101 million augmentation for economic development. It really reflects values.”
Sen. Chris Garten, R-Charlestown, countered that the IEDC will pay the money back — “Medicaid is not.”

Shortly after, however, he encouraged IEDC representative Mark Wasky to “expedite those (land sales) as fast as humanly possible” and repay the state’s General Fund within the 2025 fiscal year.

Pipeline advances
The IEDC asked for permission to spend $50 million out of its Deal Closing Fund on a water pipeline stretching from the Indianapolis area to the city of Lebanon in Boone County.

The quasi-public agency said it would hand the funds to the Indiana Finance Authority (IFA) for bond financing. The money would cover the first five years of debt service coverage.

Lebanon hosts the Limitless Exploration/Advanced Pace (LEAP) Innovation District, envisioned as a massive advanced industrial park. Its sole confirmed tenant is homegrown pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Co., with a $9 billion project.

But Lilly and other tenants sought by the IEDC need lots of water for their work, and Lebanon — which has hit water capacity — wants to keep developing.

The pipeline will deliver about 25 million gallons daily to Lebanon, per the IEDC. Citizens Energy Group, which runs Indianapolis’ water and stormwater system, would supply the pipeline.

“They have multiple well fields and multiple treatment plants that they are currently engineering to figure out … the optimum way to draw water,” IFA Chief Operating Officer Jim McGoff said.
The pipeline would “satisfy” water needs in the LEAP District and in Boone County for the next 15-20 years, according to McGoff.

Wasky said the pipeline’s long-term expenses wouldn’t drive up bills for existing ratepayers. He told the committee impacts “will be limited to new tenants of LEAP and new users added to the Lebanon water utility system.”

A larger pipeline stretching 50 miles from Tippecanoe County to the district, capable of carrying 100 million gallons daily, is on pause while IFA researches its feasibility.

The expanded studies are expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year, McGoff said.
The IEDC also asked to spend $36 million on property acquisition, deposits and option payments for about 1,850 acres of land. The acreage is intended for three LEAP District projects.

While the deals aren’t finalized, Wasky said he was “very confident” in IEDC’s ability to secure them.

Finally, the IEDC requested to use $15 million for infrastructure work within LEAP: upgrading roadways, installing a roundabout and installing utilities.

The members of the Indiana State Budget Committee for 2024 include:

- Representative Jeff Thompson as the Chair (R, Lizton)
-al for LEAP pipeline, land(R, Bremen)
-budget approval for LEAP pipelin(D, Indianapolis)
- approval for LEAP pipeline, l(D, South Bend)
-et approval for LEAP Acting State Budget Director

-et approval for LEAP pipel(R, Charleston)
-et approval for LEAP pipeline, land(D, Indianapolis)
- approval for LEAP pipeline(D, Indianapolis)

These members are responsible for overseeing and making decisions regarding the state's budget, ensuring that fiscal policies align with the needs and priorities of Indiana.

Ex-sheriff Jamey Noel to change plea and admit guilt in criminal case

A former Indiana sheriff facing 31 felony counts has asked a judge to change his original not guilty plea.
Jamey Noel has been under investigation by Indiana State Police since June 2023. He faces 31 felony charges, to which he originally pleaded not guilty.
Attorney Zachary Stewart - one of Noel's two defense attorneys - filed a request Thursday in Clark County Circuit Court asking for a change of plea hearing at the court's "earliest convenience." The request did not indicate how Noel intends to plea.

Special Prosecutor Ric Hertel told WHAS11 Friday Noel will be "admitting guilt to crimes he's committed," and a sentencing date will be set Monday.
The change of plea hearing is set for Monday at 11 a.m.
Also Friday, Clarksville police officer and Clark County Councilman John Miller was arrested in connection to the investigation. An arrest warrant was issued for former Councilwoman Brittney Ferree.
RELATED: Officer John Miller arrested in Jamey Noel investigation; warrant issued for Noel mistress Brittney Ferree
CASE BACKGROUND
Jamey Noel is facing 31 felony charges, including counts of theft, tax evasion, corrupt business practices, ghost employment, official misconduct and money laundering. The ISP investigation began in June 2023 following allegations that Noel directed jail staff to work on his personal property and run his personal errands while on county time. 
His wife Misty Noel pleaded not guilty to 10 felonies; five counts of theft and five counts of tax evasion.
Daughter Kasey Noel pleaded not guilty to nine felonies; five counts of theft and four counts of tax evasion.
According to previous court documents, Hearon found millions of dollars of personal purchases made by all three on Utica Township Volunteer Firefighter Association credit cards. He also stated they failed to disclose income on their taxes over a five-year span.
Jamey ran UTVFA for many years until January when he was ousted by the board.
In March, investigators uncovered over $100,000 in tuition and education-related payments were made from the cards by Jamey and Misty. Hearon asked a judge for permission to search Indiana University records regarding Josey and Gracy Noel -- Jamey and Misty's other daughters who are currently enrolled at IU campuses.
In April, ISP said the family spent over $300,000 on vacations using fire department funds without reimbursement. Noel was ordered to serve 60 days in jail on April 9 after a judge found him in contempt of court for having firearms in his home in violation of his bond conditions.

The investigation also uncovered Jamey fathered a child with former Clark County Councilwoman Brittney Ferree and made child support payments with UTVFA funds. In July, it was revealed Noel spent $104,971.51 in department funds on child support between March 2020 and September 2023.
Jamey Noel's vast automobile collection has been under scrutiny by investigators since the beginning of the investigation.
According to court documents, 133 vehicles are registered to the Utica Township Volunteer Fire Department and New Chapel EMS. A review of those vehicles showed several were "inconsistent" with a not-for-profit fire department and EMS business.
Jamey is accused of orchestrating a vehicle trading and selling scheme where he traded in several cars registered to the UTVFA for vehicles he then registered to himself for personal use. In some cases, he allegedly sold them and pocketed the money.
Court documents released in early March indicated 26 containers of military surplus equipment belonging to the Clark County Sheriff's Office were found on a property in Deputy, Indiana. Hearon alleged Noel sold multiple items belonging to the sheriff's office and sold them for personal gain.
The investigation has also focused on former Scott County Sheriff Kenneth Hughbanks, a friend and associate of Jamey's. Hearon said Hughbanks failed to report over $200,000 in income on his taxes. He has not been charged.

Chick-Fil-A To Launch ‘Family Friendly’ Streaming Service

Popular fast food chain Chick-Fil-A is in talks to expand its scope beyond chicken sandwiches, as the chain is currently in talks to get into the television/streaming business. The restaurant chain is currently meeting with producers with the goal of eventually launching its own streaming service.

The company has been working with several high-profile producers and other television producers to create family-friendly shows, according to a report from Deadline. Chick-Fil-A also intends to focus on unnoscripted reality programming, according to the report.

In addition, the brand is working on licensing and acquiring additional assets to go alongside original program.

In one example, the company is working on game show format produced by Glassman Media, which produces the NBC game show “The Wall,” as well as Sugar23, which produced “13 Reasons Why” on Netflix.
Chick-Fil-A has reportedly ordered 10 episodes of the game show, according to Deadline.

Unnoscripted reality shows for the new project will have a budget of around $400,00 per half hour. The programming development is being led by Brian Gibson, whose past work history includes the History channel’s “Top Gear” reboot and Fox’s “The X Factor.”

Chick-Fil-A is also rumored to be exploring the possibility of noscripted programming and animation as well. The service could launch as early as the end of 2024.
The new venture will mark the first time Chick-Fil-A has waded into the content creation business. The company has produced short, free skits and shows that are uploaded for free on its website in the past, including the short animated series “Stories of Evergreen Hills.”

Chick-Fil-A has not provided additional details on the streaming service since the Deadline report was released.

If the endeavor is launched, Chick-Fil-A will be joining the likes of ride-sharing giant Lyft and Air BnB in the content creation business, though the content they create is likely to be very different. Lyft has produced shows such as “Lucky Lyft,” a show hosted by a drag queen, while Air BnB produced an LGBT-themed documentary for MTV.

Governor Holcomb betrayed Hoosiers last week by vetoing HB 1041, the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act. This bill would have provided protections for girls’ sports programs through the high school level in our state.
The people of Indiana were loud and clear in their support for this bill as seen with its passing by both the House and Senate.

But Governor Holcomb has officially discarded common sense and reality. He has abandoned the majority of Hoosiers who put him into office by choosing to side with the ACLU and woke corporate interests bent on bullying government officials into implementing their radical agenda.

This veto comes just days after a biological man won the NCAA noscript for women’s swimming, despite having male chromosomes and the skeletal and muscular advantages that come with it.

Despite saying that protecting fairness in women’s sports was “a worthy cause for sure,” Holcomb’s concerns about the bill are surface level at best and another excuse to avoid controversy.

Hoosiers, you deserve better. Our female athletes certainly deserve better. The Indiana House Speaker has already announced their intention to overturn the Governor’s veto in May.

Indiana Family Institute urges lawmakers to override the Governor’s veto, reinstate this bill, and encourage the Governor to stop abandoning the majority of Hoosiers who put him into office. Indiana girls and women deserve a fair playing field.
Governor Holcomb failed all Hoosiers – but this fight isn’t over. Click here to urge your lawmakers to override his veto on the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act.
