I totally agree with retired steel worker. If Hobart wants the annexation to be totally Merrilliville then they need to put the kids from that area in Hobart schools Hobart should be providing all services for that area. If that area is part of your city then take responsibility for all of it not just what you pick and choose.

People running that town must not have been born and raised there. Anyone who was knows the historical district is from Madison to Broadway on 73rd. What a waste of money for a town who claims to have no money.

The people of Crown Point should have voted Gayle Van Sessen in long and ago and they would not be dealing with the political corruption going on in Crown Point now. This guy was a mortgage broker for pete's sake. Look what happened to that industry with the corruption.

The Gary tower, like the other towers being closed, is contracted out by the FAA. The towers are manned by private firms. That is why the towers are being closed. If they were run by the FAA they would still probably be open. Every air traffic controller in the country is furloughed 11 days between April and September. If the elected officials could get their priorities together this would not be happening. Would like to know if the April through September that applies to Air traffic controllers also applies to the towers.

I think Lake County Politicians need to start sucking up to Indy. If the airport would have gotten half the money (175 million) the Indy 500 speedway did out of our tax money, we would not be having these conversations right now.

Thanks for the information. Saw this article a couple of days ago and tried to contact the number. Had to leave a message and still waiting for someone to get back to me. Obviously, this company must not be that interested in promoting this venue if they cannot return calls.

Among the services provided by the pro-life center are ultrasound, free pregnancy tests and post-abortion counseling.

For women who choose to parent, The Women’s Center provides pregnancy support through parenting classes, referrals and a learn and earn program. The center also provides information on adoption for clients who want to carry their children and are not ready to parent.

Hope they are also teaching them how to get a job and support these children without taxpayers paying for them

Unfortunately, affordable rental housing is slowly becoming a thing of the past. Landlords are being so penalized with fees many are giving up their properties. Landlords pay almost 3% more in property taxes than a homeowner does. Example, I have a house property taxes are 2580.00 per year. The owner occupied house next door is 650.00. Plus landlords are required to pay fees to cities for the new landlord registration tax that has been added to most properties and I am sure these fees will continue to go up on a yearly basis. To further penalize landlords, cities are trending toward not letting landlords work on their own properties. This creates high maintenance fees as all work will have to be done by licensed contractors even though the landlord might be a licensed contractor himself. When cities and towns and the state decide most landlords are providing a service and not there to fill their coiffures rents will come down.

He also said Bach was shot in the front of the neck at a distance of less than a foot to two feet away, had her neck bent back at the time, likely could not have spoken after suffering the wound, and died within five to 15 minutes.

McCoward must have had her by her hair which is why her neck was bent back. Her hand was by her chest when she was shot because she was probably trying to grab for the gun.
