My name is Michael Schwab. You may remember I am the grandfather of the three children killed in Rochester on Oct. 30 while waiting to board their school bus. I am also the father of the children’s mother, Brittany Ingle.

To everyone across Indiana:

We recently came one step closer to seeing the MaxStrong Bill (Senate Bill #2) become law thanks to Senator Randy Head and the entire Indiana Senate who unanimously passed the bill 49-0. The bill now moves to the House for final vote and if passed it will be sent to the governor to be signed into law. Since Oct. 20 when my grandchildren Mason, Alivia and Xzavier were killed by a vehicle that failed to stop for a school bus stop arm, people from Rochester and throughout Indiana as well as people from across the country have prayed, loved and supported our family to help us through this horrible tragedy.   You all rallied around us and supported our efforts to help bring new meaningful legislation forward and without you, today would not have been possible.   Thank you, Indiana.

Our family is happier than words can describe that this bill will now move to the House for vote and it’s a big win for the safety of all children in Indiana that ride school busses, but we are not done yet.  We still need your help.   We need everyone to continue to call, email and write your legislators in the House to tell them you want them to vote to approve the “MaxStrong Bill” in memory of “Mason, Alivia and Xzavier. Together we will get this important piece of legislation passed and signed into law  to help keep all children that ride school busses in Indiana safe. Again, thank you to everyone for their continued love, prayers, support and efforts.

Regards,

Michael Schwab
