@tonykatz Trivia Night for @93wibc was a roaring success! Everyone had a great time, and the breadsticks and pizza provided by Greek’s Pizzeria was delicious! I had fun meeting some of the listeners and totally getting trounced in the contest. 😆
@tonykatz@greekspizzeria@93wibc Fantastic time at your Trivia Night, TK! I'll always attend as many of your events as I can.
BTW when we met after tonight's event, I mentioned to you @AmyMek, founder of @RAIRFoundation. Worth you looking into. Amy would be a splendid guest on your show.
IDHS warns against disaster assistance fraud
INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) is warning survivors of the August 2026 disaster about attempts to fraudulently acquire state and federal disaster assistance.
State Disaster Relief Funds are intended for the survivors of disaster events to help those affected rebuild. The improper use and receipt of funds will be pursued by the State of Indiana to the maximum extent possible under Indiana law.
The State Disaster Relief Funds (SDRF) administered by IDHS are only intended for eligible applicants. Individual assistance is available for individuals and families to be spent on eligible categories.
For a period of up to three (3) years, in accordance with Indiana Code, IDHS has the authority to inspect and audit property that was the subject of financial assistance. If individuals are found to be in violation, IDHS may exercise all legal rights to recover funds and related costs of recovery for improperly received or spent assistance.
During the auditing of applications and funds received, IDHS will work with all local, state and federal entities to pursue SDRF funds that have been improperly or fraudulently obtained. This includes partnering with Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita to pursue civil actions in the recuperation of state funds, as well as with state and federal law enforcement to pursue applicable criminal charges.
Assistance in filing documents or filling out an application for federal or state assistance is available at no cost. Be careful of offers from those who say they will do it for a small fee. Spending state or federal assistance on ineligible expenses, such as taxes, repaying someone who completed your application, or any expense not listed in Indiana Code may be subjected to an audit and legal repercussions. IDHS is actively investigating cases of fraud and abuse of state disaster assistance.

INDIANAPOLIS—Today, Congressman André Carson (IN-07) made the following statement in response to ICE agents shooting a man in New York yesterday with a child in the car:
"A 5-year-old was in the backseat when ICE agents shot at a car multiple times in New York yesterday. Opening fire near a child is unsafe. Firing a gun in the middle of a busy street is unsafe. Performing arrests while masked and wearing construction vests is unsafe.
"This administration will continue to try and defend their reckless, rogue, and cruel activity by insisting it’s about safety. It’s not, and it never was."
