Indiana House Bill 1594 raises fear of public records loss
Indiana lawmakers navigate a busy final session as House Bill 1594 moves from committee. The measure would restrict public disclosure of State Board of Accounts findings, sending misconduct reports to the attorney general who could shield or suppress them. Critics warn it threatens fiscal oversight and increases risk of fraud. Greene county officials and local sports coverage appear alongside notes on Switz City sectional games and local bath tubs history in Bloomfield.

Pentagon eyes continuing draft amid volunteer shortfall
Pentagon sources say proposals from a yearlong manpower study will urge renewing the draft to sustain Army Navy and Air Force strength. Enlistments have fallen since last year’s election talk of ending conscription and drafts have risen to fill gaps. Projections suggest an all volunteer force may fall short by about 1 to 1.5 million over five years. The Army currently drafts, but conscription influences enlistment and officer programs across services and reserves.
