Today’s Political Happenings…
More Firings on the Way?
I’m hearing rumblings that more bodies could hit the floor over at the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. Agency Director Heather Bolejack is already on paid administrative leave pending an investigation into improper activities allegedly involving travel and no-bid contracts. Now the agency’s Board of Trustees will meet Friday to discuss “personnel” matters. Sources within the Institute tell me three to five more employees could face disciplinary action. Stay tuned.
Another Appeal
The Indiana House of Representatives filed its appeal to Judge David Hamilton’s ruling banning sectarian prayers in the Chamber. In the 60-page document, the House argues that there is nothing in past case law that prohibits the invoking the invoking the name of Jesus in legislative prayers. It also goes on to say the ban is unworkable and interferes with the “internal workings of a co-sovereign legislature.” Keep it tuned.
