What a great day in Grant County! Thank you Taylor University President Dr. Michael Lindsay and the President’s Fellows for the campus visit to see the tremendous growth and for our time together discussing the State of Indiana’s finances, public service and our guiding faith. Also had the honor to sit down with Mayor of Gas City Bill Rock to hear about future economic development coming their way and it brought back super memories of working with American Woodmark on behalf of the state when they chose to locate in Gas City in 1998!

As a member of the State Board of Finance, we voted today to approve Gas Tax revenue reimbursements from the month of June. This afternoon our office distributed those payments, and counties, cities and towns can expect to receive the funds in the next 2-3 days. For more information, read the full press release:

As floodwaters recede in parts of the state, I will continue urgently deploying every available resource to help Hoosiers recover.

I’m directing every available state resource toward response and recovery efforts, including activating Indiana’s State Disaster Relief Fund to provide up to $5,000 in emergency aid to eligible Hoosiers in need.

We’ll continue working around the clock to help families recover, rebuild and make Indiana whole again.

Indiana 211 is accepting damage reports for Dearborn, Delaware, Fayette, Franklin, Hamilton, Henry, Lake, LaPorte, Madison, Marshall, Morgan, Newton, Pike, Porter, Pulaski, Randolph, Tipton and Wayne counties for severe weather impacting these communities beginning Aug. 11.

To help establish a comprehensive assessment of damage, residents can call 866-211-9966 or visit the Indiana 211 website (on.in.gov/IN-211).

Collecting assessments via this process will help IDHS determine damage estimates and develop the next course of action in the disaster recovery process. 211 can also help residents connect to local resources to aid in response and recovery.

Today the Indiana Deferred Compensation Committee that governs the Hoosier START plan, announced our approval to switch to a new international investment option that has no exposure to China (including Hong Kong). This further protects participants and advances ongoing efforts to align on this matter with state law that governs pensions.

The Indiana State Fair has officially begun and has “Always Been a Hit!” — which is this year’s theme courtesy of the Indianapolis Indians! Bright and early this morning it was good to gather to enjoy the great tradition of the Pork Ham Breakfast headlined by Governor Mike Braun and sponsored by the Pork Producers, followed by the opening ceremony at the New State Fair Train Depot!
