TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Indiana lawmakers are trying to stifle “no prosecute” policies in Hoosier counties. The author of the bill, Indianapolis State Senator Mike Young, says the bill ensures that local authorities can’t create a list of crimes they won’t prosecute.
The most notable instance of this is in Marion County. That prosecutor chooses not to file charges against anyone in possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana.

Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), discussed his push to direct Senate committees to craft legislation to protect American jobs and outcompete China.
Below are Senator Schumer’s remarks, which can also be viewed here:
Today on our caucus call, I directed the chairs and members of our relevant committees to start drafting a legislative package to outcompete China and create new American jobs.
The legislation will have as its centerpiece a bicameral, bipartisan bill, the Endless Frontiers Act, which I introduced last year with (Sen.) Todd Young (R-IN), and Representatives Ro Khanna (D-CA), and Mike Gallagher (R-WI) in the House. And it will take the key cutting industries and make American investments so we will outcompete China in all of them.
