Hoosier lawmakers are back in session and this season we're getting a full serving of school lunches, cellphone limits for students, firing squad proposals ... oh my. It's still early days at the Statehouse, so what will and won't move forward is very much up for grabs, but you can stay informed with all that's happening by reading the great work from the Indiana Capital Chronicle team, amongst others.
Also, reporters at the Journal Gazette share a story that reminds readers of a different time in our state's history. Retirees from General Electric gathered for the last time as part of the GE Quarter Century Club, what was once a robust social club boasting nearly 500 members.
Finally, while few of us want to consider it, it's nearly tax time. The IndyStar provides some good tips to remember before you file. Education is empowerment, so make sure to give the story a read.
Let us know about interesting things that are happening in your part of the state. As always, thanks for reading. |
