History’s echoes hit home in Indy as Revolutionary War veterans—some heroes, some fugitives—left their mark in Indiana’s founding. From Lieutenant John Hanna and Sergeant Isaac Cool buried side-by-side in Floral Park, to Philburd Wright who became a judge, William Miller who fled the Whiskey Rebellion, and Robert Carr who helped secure Yorktown’s victory, these real people shaped the state’s early days. Their stories—of loyalty, rebellion, and resilience—reveal how America’s founding threads still weave through Indianapolis today.

Indiana’s utility regulators are hitting back at soaring electricity bills with a bold new plan, backed by thousands of public complaints and a state law pushing for change. The IURC has slapped five major utilities with five clear demands: double customer aid, boost energy efficiency for low-income households, and dramatically improve transparency on how rates are set and money is spent. Two new investigations are underway to scrutinize profit models and rate adjustments. Consumer advocates and even the governor are cheering the move, calling it a long-overdue stand for fairness. The commission is also urging other state agencies and lawmakers to tackle the crisis from multiple angles — from tax policy to merger oversight — making this the most comprehensive push yet to make energy more affordable for Hoosier families.

Indiana’s finances are booming—despite earlier budget cuts and federal headwinds—thanks to a growing surplus and reserves, with Governor Mike Braun touting efficiency as the key. But while the state’s coffers fill, critics argue everyday Hoosiers are still hurting, especially after cuts to public services and Medicaid. Democrats push to redirect funds to schools and local governments, while Braun envisions investing in healthcare and property tax relief. The debate rages: should Indiana use this windfall to fix what’s broken—or just reward its own success?

Indiana’s Secretary of State race is heating up with Beau Bayh pulling ahead in fundraising, raking in nearly $3 million since launching his campaign — a massive early lead. Meanwhile, GOP nominee Max Engling trails behind both Bayh and third-party contender Greg Ballard, who’s outraising Engling despite not being a major party candidate. Engling’s campaign, born from a GOP convention upheaval that ousted current Secretary Diego Morales, has only raised over $200K so far. Bayh’s momentum is undeniable — he raised nearly $2 million in just three months, dwarfing past Democratic totals. As Election Day nears, Bayh’s cash advantage looks solid, but Ballard’s fundraising surge signals a surprisingly competitive field.

Police linked him to pawn shop transactions on the same days the thefts occurred, identifying 50-year-old Steven Martin Jr. As the suspect. With repair costs soaring and pastors urging him to seek help instead of facing charges, Martin now faces a $2,500 bond—offering a chance for redemption before justice takes its course.
