State Police Announce Thanksgiving Holiday Project C.A.R.E. Results
Indianapolis, IN – The Indiana State Police have participated in the Combined Accident Reduction Effort (C.A.R.E.) since the inception of this multi-state enforcement project in 1977, of which Indiana and Michigan were the founding members. Now, more than three dozen local and state law enforcement agencies nationwide participate in this life saving enforcement project.
For the Thanksgiving Holiday Project C.A.R.E. was operational from November 21st through the 25th. Below are the Indiana results from this five day enforcement project.
While most information is self-explanatory, ‘CMV’ stands for Commercial Motor Vehicle and ‘Motorist Assists’ reflects the number of times motorists were assisted by state police officers while roadside. Examples of the type of assistance provided would include help with directions, changing a flat tire, calling a tow truck, obtaining fuel or other types of services to assist the motoring public.

From Dave Heine <house_republicans@subscriptions.iga.in.gov> in email today:
This election, Hoosier voters will decide through Public Question #1 if the Indiana Constitution should be amended to require the state legislature to enact honestly balanced state budgets. Although Indiana has maintained a balanced budget over the last seven years under conservative leadership, this proposed amendment would add an additional constitutional safeguard to prevent future legislatures from deficit spending gimmicks or passing debt on to our children and grandchildren.
It would also specifically require state lawmakers to prioritize pre-funded pensions before making other budgetary decisions. These added protections will not impact pre-funded pensions for firefighters, teachers and police officers, as confirmed by the Indiana Public Retirement System and by the professional organizations that represent teachers and public safety officers.Maintaining our fiscal integrity will help Indiana continue to thrive.
To read the full question as it will appear on the ballot and the proposed amendment in its entirety, click here. The Indiana Retired Teachers Association also provides facts to correct rumors and misinformation, while the Indiana Public Retirement System has prepared a Q&A that can be found here.
