Police officers win four year contract with pay and benefit raises
The police reach a new four year agreement running January 1 2012 to December 31 2015 approved by supervisors after prior approval by the department. The pact adds a 25 dollar yearly uniform allowance for seven full time and two part time officers. It extends the pay scale for new hires to five years. A longevity benefit of 50 dollars per year after 15 years is paid every five years. The post of superintendent is vacant so the in charge officer gains 1.50 dollars extra per hour when filling that role. Health insurance costs may rise with officers paying five percent up to 500 dollars yearly plus new officers paying ten percent up to 500 dollars. The agreement also includes authorization to seek cheaper insurance.

Favoring Fairness in Online Sales Tax Reform
Luke Kerley argues for the Fairness Act to unify sales tax rules across states via the Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement. The proposal would require remote retailers to collect and remit taxes once states adopt uniform definitions, with no extra costs to online sellers. Revenue would boost state funds, potentially funding Indiana's inheritance tax repeal.
