I've been a republican my whole life but to me this is despicable. Its a race to the bottom with the third world when it comes to trying to fetch manufacturing back by lowering wages. Only fools think that is going to really work. You can see that in the southern states they can't hold on to jobs any better than we can up here.
Much praise to Pat Bauer and the democrats and, most of all, to the the nine BOLD AND WISE republicans who voted and fought against this.
Yup, in Marion County we surely do have the best justice money can buy.
If Republican slating fees are $12,000 they've been lowered. They as of very recently was $25,000.
Indiana law does not require law enforcement agencies to remove "police blotter" records, nor does it require Court Clerks to remove their records. Limiting expungements in this way renders them useless, since many private firms check local and county records for employers. The result is the crime will be discovered, and the applicant rejected. Expungement means just that, and should be required of all criminal justice agencies.
Hope everything turned out okay. My father was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to 65 yrs in jail in Indiana and after serving 17 yrs, the other co-defendants finally came forward and confessed he was not there. The court exonerated him, but left the conviction on his record. And of course, Indiana can lock you up on a wrongful conviction, but want pay you a dime for you time. Laws need to change, period!! My dad has since passed, but I trying to make it better.
