"While the president may want to try and take responsibility for the current fiscal surplus, it was we Republicans who held his feet to the fire - even forcing a government shutdown to get sound budgetary practices in place," he said.

Hosted by Steven C.Foster, chief of Warsaw Police Department, the meeting was mostly organizational to decide how the committee members want to proceed. The proposed "Countywide Safe School Commission" is a response to a recent state law allowing counties to establish commissions that will study and make recommendations on improving school security. Indiana law also requires every Indiana school corporation to designate a school safety specialist, and those officers are included on the countywide commission. After Thursday's discussion, commission members seemed most interested in pursuing two lines of inquiry: the safety and security of school buildings and facilities, and preventing problems and crises through educational alternatives.
