State Legislators Prepare For Economic Challenges

INDIANAPOLIS - State Sen.Kent Adams' red light camera bill was defeated in the House this session, after failing to receive a hearing. This is the third year the senator representing Warsaw initiated the bill. Speaker of the House Pat Bauer (D-South Bend) refused to assign the legislation to committee, effectively killing it. "The speaker's own mayor and police department supported SB 3, along with the cities of Elkhart, Fort Wayne and Warsaw, and I was hopeful the bill would be discussed and heard on its own merits, with opportunity for these cities and local citizens to be heard in public testimony during committee," Adams said Wednesday. Senate Republicans have other promotions, though, including a package of economic initiatives to create high-paying jobs.The JOBS Plan is tacked onto HB 2008 - The Energize Indiana legislation.

Car Memories
