Holcomb, Crouch prepare to party at inaugural gala
When Gov. Eric Holcomb and Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch were sworn in for their second terms in January, COVID-19 vaccinations were just materializing.
So, a socially distanced oath occurred with only 50 people in attendance rather than thousands.
No balloons and certainly no hugging.
Six months later and the Holcomb for Indiana campaign is gearing up to host a concert and black-tie inaugural gala.
“These events aren t just to celebrate our governor and lieutenant governor, this is a way for us to bring together the entire Holcomb-Crouch team that worked so hard to make the governor s historic reelection happen and to celebrate all Hoosiers for their sacrifice and resilience during the global pandemic,” campaign manager Kyle Hupfer said. “These events will be a great opportunity to remember our shared victories and reaffirm our commitment to helping Governor Holcomb continue building One Indiana for All.”
Paddock, Hahhurst seek help to create passenger rail service

A Fort Wayne councilman asked a few congressmen this week to support increased federal funding for expanded passenger rail service.
City Councilman Geoff Paddock and former councilman Tom Hayhurst, both Democrats, sent a letter on behalf of the Northern Indiana Passenger Rail Association to U.S. Rep. Jim Banks, Sen. Mike Braun, Sen. Todd Young and Rep. Jackie Walorski, all of whom are Republicans, and Democratic Rep. Frank Mrvan. Over the past 20 years, we have laid extensive groundwork for modern passenger rail service from Columbus, Ohio to Chicago, with stops in Fort Wayne, Warsaw, Plymouth, Valparaiso, and Gary, the letter states. Enhanced passenger rail service through Fort Wayne and the other cities will result in significant economic development and environmental and quality of life improvements for every citizen of northern Indiana.

After many years of hard work, things may be aligning for an eventual return of passenger rail service to Fort Wayne and northern Indiana.
The Northern Indiana Passenger Rail Association has advocated for the return of train service for more than a decade. I have personally been an advocate for more than two decades, realizing this is a mode of transportation that is needed to move individuals and grow our economy.
