Emails obtained by IndyStar revealed that city staff had initially planned to recommend that the Metropolitan Development Commission deny a request for a Martindale-Brightwood data center but flipped 12 days later.

@jordantsmith09 But @jordantsmith09 talked to multiple public records experts who said they believed victims' identities could be protected under an independent system.

“Perhaps the stated concern is a fig leaf for some other reluctance to create an independent authority," an IU professor says.

[Hayleigh Colombo @hayleighcolombo]

@jordantsmith09 This story also reveals that Mayor Joe Hogsett opposes the reform an independent law firm recommended: a third-party review of complaints outside of the mayor's office.

The mayor's office says their opposition lies in the desire to protect victims from being publicly identified.

Big story out today from @jordantsmith09: A year+ after Vop Osili had sheriffs forcibly remove Lauren Roberts from the City-County Council chambers, the reforms she was calling for - to protect city workers from sexual harassment - have stalled.

This is a wild story. As the state poured millions of dollars into improvements at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, officials appear to have overlooked a dangerous shortcoming -- bullets escaping the facility's gun range.

Per sources -- and I'm trying to figure out the math on this -- Nance's deal is a minimum deal and that fits under the apron.

BREAKING: The company planning to build a data center on Indy's east side has scaled backs its plans and pledged community commitments, after outcry from neighbors.

I tried writing that story multiple times, but the tides continued to shift.

Finally, IndyCar has *actually* found the momentum the sport has longed for.

The road there since Penske’s purchase was…rocky.

Reporters from @IndyStar and @mirrorindy will take your questions about our series examining Mayor Joe Hogsett's ethics promises. Join us at 3 pm tomorrow on @Reddit.

[IndyStar @indystar]

For more than a year, IndyStar investigative reporter Ryan Murphy followed reports that bullets were escaping the gun range at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in Plainfield — the state's largest police training facility.

Through public records, internal documents, whistleblower complaints and interviews, she uncovered a troubling safety issue that raises serious questions about oversight, accountability and a taxpayer-funded renovation project that has already cost more than $100 million.

In this video, Ryan breaks down her investigation, including how bullets and shrapnel were reportedly found far beyond their intended targets, what safety inspectors discovered, and why state officials are now spending additional money to address the problem.

🎥 Hear Ryan explain what she uncovered and why it matters.

I've decided to recover from that USMNT match by reading City-County Council updates

[IndyStar @indystar]

The City-County Council voted not to extend the youth curfew to 17-year-olds. Opponents of the proposal said older teens deserve independence. https://t.co/6oKc2fG5uA

[Jordan Smith @jordantsmith09]

BREAKING: In a divided vote, the Indianapolis City-County Council approved major vehicle tax hikes to fund road repairs.

But with the mayor's opposition and several Democrats voting no, the plan may not survive a potential veto.

How much you could pay:

Anthony Bailey was released in 2024 after a judge found he received an "unusually long" sentence (60 years for robbery, carjacking, firearms). He has since rebuilt his life. Prosecutors plan to seek a court order to send him back to prison. https://t.co/MAwWENMppg via @indystar

[Kristine Phillips @bykristinep]

Maryam Kanna, Bailey's attorney, said sending him back to prison “undercuts” the notion that the system should rehabilitate.

“Even if I work really hard to get an education, to learn skills that I can use as a productive member of society, I could still go back in.” @indystar

Here's some truth about Fever star Caitlin Clark, her fans, her detractors, opponents like Alyssa Thomas – and the league itself.
Bottom line:
The WNBA had better start protecting its most important player.
