Mike Braun: “We’ll backfill those lost revenues into locals, so they won’t have to worry about it.”

I have mobilized state and local resources, declared a Statewide Disaster Emergency and deployed the Indiana National Guard.

As we celebrate 250 years of American freedom, these signs are a fitting tribute to Indiana’s proud legacy as the Crossroads of America.

Bring in more crews. Put every available resource into the field. Get creative. Get the job done. Hoosiers have waited long enough.

My heart is with the families and loved ones of the five Hoosiers we have lost and every family whose life has been changed by these storms.
