Interview with Rep. Scott Reske, 26 January 2009

Note: Dept of Homeland Security hold regional meetings in a room at the health center of the ISSCH children’s home. FEMA has been out last fall to tour the Home because the home is self-contained with power station, radio station and health center. State Police train on the grounds.

18 months ago ISSCH ALLOWED the State Police and Homeland Security to utilize the older boys divisions. The Home and both agencies were working out a utilization contract which would have allowed the two agencies to RENT some of the facilities. This would have generated a revenue base. What would have needed to happen was Indiana State Dept of Health (ISDH) & Homeland needed to sit down and sign an agreement. Apparently this was forwarded to Indiana State Dept of Health who never actioned it. Go figure, I would ume that either prior to or immediately after the ISDH announced closure they offered up the facility as a whole to Dept of Homeland Security.

So then, if the ISDH (Indiana State Dept of Health) had actioned this 18 months ago, the Home would have had an income stream that would have undermined their argument for closing it on the basis of cost-effectiveness. It seems that they preferred to ensure an insufficient income so that they could offload the entire facility.

This is like shooting the Indiana taxpayer in the foot. It means that taxpayers have been supporting the facility at a higher level than was necessary, since the Home could have been receiving Federal funding through these agencies. How are they going to justify that action to taxpayers on the basis of fiscal responsibility and good stewardship of taxpayer money?

Indiana is #30 in homeless children. So is the ISDH doing a good job monitoring these kids?

to be fair, I will use a Republican who has been labeled the weakest political person to run for white house.

Dan Quayle

After spending much of his youth in Arizona, he graduated from Huntington High School in Huntington, Indiana, in 1965. He then matriculated at DePauw University, where he received his B.A. degree in political science in 1969, and where he was a member of the fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon. After receiving his degree, Quayle joined the Indiana Army National Guard and served from 1969–1975, attaining the rank of Sergeant. While serving in the Guard, he earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in 1974 at Indiana University School of Law Indianapolis. It was at law school where Dan met his wife, Marilyn, who was taking night classes at the time. They married ten weeks later on November 18, 1972 and have three children: Tucker, Benjamin, and Corinne.

Quayle’s public service began in July 1971 when he became an investigator for the Consumer Protection Division of the Indiana Attorney General’s Office. Later that year, he became an administrative assistant to Governor Edgar Whitcomb. From 1973 to 1974, he was the Director of the Inheritance Tax Division of the Indiana Department of Revenue. Upon receiving his law degree, Quayle worked as associate publisher of his family’s newspaper, the Huntington Herald-Press, and practiced law with his wife in Huntington.

In 1976, Quayle was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Indiana’s Fourth Congressional District, defeating eight-term incumbent Democrat J. Edward Roush. He won reelection in 1978 by the greatest percentage margin ever achieved to that date in the northeast Indiana district. In 1980, at age 33, Quayle became the youngest person ever elected to the U.S. Senate from the state of Indiana, defeating three-term incumbent Democrat Birch Bayh. Making Indiana political history again, Quayle was reelected to the Senate in 1986 with the largest margin ever achieved to that date by a candidate in a statewide Indiana race. His 1986 victory was notable because several other Republican Senators elected in 1980 were not returned to office.

In April 1999, he announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for 2000, attacking George W. Bush by saying "we do not want another candidate who needs on-the-job training".

I have been considering starting up my own business, as I’ve been doing a lot of consulting work since the company I worked for folded a month ago. I’m starting to get a decent amount of projects that will provide reoccurring revenue, and would like to know how I go about getting a company name set up, along with tax ID and all the other pertinent things. I live south of Indianapolis, and trying to read through information on the state website is confusing at best. Anyone have any good information or ideas on where to start? Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Modern day slavery also known as “human trafficking.” Traffickers look for individuals who are poor, unemployed, or families that are in high debt, mainly women and children in certain countries. Victims are convinced with false promises of a good job and a better way of living, and then forced to work under abusive and inhuman conditions. Victims of trafficking are brought into the system through several means. Most victims of trafficking today come from three populations. First, parents may sell children to traffickers in order to pay off debts or gain income. Second, runaways or other displaced persons may be picked up by traffickers. Third, people who are seeking entry to other countries may be picked up by traffickers, and typically are misled into thinking that they will be free after being smuggled across the border.
Definitions may very base upon that cultural variation of the crime. In the United States, when people think of human trafficking, they often refer to the illegal practice of migrant smuggling. They picture illegal immigrants from countries like Mexico or China arriving into the United States by way of freight trailer or cargo boat in search for job opportunities and freedom. Human trafficking is defined as sex trafficking in which commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or in which the person forced to perform such an act is under 18.
The recruitment, transportation, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force or fraud, for the purpose of subjecting that person to involuntary hard labor, high debts owed, or slavery. Men, women, and children worldwide were bought, sold, transported, and held against their will in unsafe and abusive conditions. Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing forms of commerce and crime throughout the world. While men, women, and children are trafficked throughout many countries into forced labor situations in sweatshops and agricultural sites, the majority of victims are women and children trafficking into the sex trade for the purpose of prostitution, sex tourism, pornography and other sexual services. Most recent Department of States estimates indicate that 700,000 to million women and children are trafficked each year across the world, 50,000 of them into and within the United States (Chauang, J., 2006). The International Organization for Migrations (IOM) estimate the rate could be much higher, stating that as many as two million men, women and children were trafficking across borders in 2001 (IOM website, 2003).
Illegal aliens look for the help of “traffickers” to be transporter into another country, mainly the United States. Traffickers, work in small, large, or highly organized groups, arranging for everything from transportation to fake identification, visas, passports and work documents for the aliens. While the conditions of transportation may be unknown, “smuggled” aliens knowingly and willingly enter the destination country to work or find work, they agree to being smuggled. However, a smuggling relationship may allow the opportunity for the smuggler to alter the relationship to trafficking. Persons who seek the help of smugglers often become victims of trafficking, in the destination country or en route. When victims have never consented to being smuggled are either kidnapped or deceived with false employment offers. Traffickers make a profit between seven billion and ten billion dollars a year globally, and it is know as the third largest source of illicit trade, behind guns and narcotics. According to U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, the intelligence community predicts that revenue from trafficking “will outstrip the illicit trade in guns and narcotics within a decade.” (Chauang, J., 2006).

History
Early trafficking efforts focused on white slavery. In 1904, the International Agreement for the Suppression of the White Slave Traffic was created, although very few countries signed it. In the following decades, the focus on trafficking continued to be on women and children who were sold into prostitution. The first concerted international effort to combat trafficking came in 1949, with the U.N. Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others. Like other such conventions before it, the document focused on the trafficking of women and children for prostitution. The U.S. at the same time was undertaking its own efforts to combat global human trafficking. In 2000, Congress passed the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (also referred to as the Trafficking Victims Protection Act), the first U.S. law to comprehensively address the various aspects of human trafficking. The act included measures to help those who were trafficked and to increase punishment for traffickers, as well as to bolster other countries’ efforts against trafficking. President Bill Clinton (D, 1993-2000) signed the act in October 2000, hailing it as "the most significant step we’ve ever taken to secure the health and safety of women at home and around the world." With regard to dealing with those who have been trafficked, the law represented a turnaround in policy. Previously, those found working illicitly were treated as criminals. The 2000 act changed that, treating those people as victims of a crime and seeking to help rather than punish them. Under the act, victims can be given a special visa, called a T-visa, allowing them to stay in the U.S. for up to three years if they would face hardship upon deportation. In return, the victims agree to assist in the investigation and prosecution of the traffickers. (As of March 2004, 448 victims of trafficking had been granted a T-visa.) The U.S. has also cracked down on Americans who may contribute to trafficking abroad. For example, Congress has passed legislation under which Americans who travel overseas to frequent child prostitutes, known as "sex tourism," can be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. And the Defense Department has also established a "zero tolerance" policy toward U.S. servicemen who may contribute to human trafficking overseas. In addition, individual states have also begun to pass human trafficking legislation. Texas and Washington State were the first two states to pass such legislation, and Arizona and California are considering similar legislation.

If you’re looking for work, and a good place to live…why not the Hoosier state?

The Carmel, Ind. based, Telamon Corporation, is looking to add 250 positions over the next 4 years to the already thriving wireless technology systems company.

The state of Indiana offered CEO Albert Chen, an incentive laden deal of $1.25 million in performance based tax credit, along with state funded training dollars, and tax abatement.

The move will keep Telamon’s growth in Carmel, as it adds 100 jobs this year, for a company that reports $450 million in revenue annually.

Forbes Magazine recently voted Hamilton County Indiana, as the best place to raise a family in the country.

Other tech companies in the area, combine with Telamon, to make Central Indiana the fastest growing tech-job market in the Midwest, and #4 in the nation.

With cell phone technology always changing, and phone sales being one of the few surging retail businesses in the country these days, Telamon, which is the Greek word for support, is in a great position to take care of itself, and its employees.

i live in greenfield indiana and i need the number for the indiana revenue service…………….i still have not received my stimulous check what do i do????????????????????????????????

Look up your state’s IRS # and call them. They put the wrong address on mine and sent it to BFE. I called and checked on it and they tried to tell me that I live somewhere else. They had to cancel the check out and send me another one. It took around 4-6 weeks to receive the reproduced check. Several people I know have encountered this as well. My best advice is to call and first check the address that they sent it to. They will not foward it to another address, if you moved. If one Small detail is wrong, they with send it to a post office and the post office will return it back to the IRS. From what I gather, they are very picky with the checks. If you lived at 10210 main and they sent it to 10201 by mistake. Then your check would be returned. Some people I know complained because the IRS left off 101 North Main, and sent the check to 101 Main, and small things like that.

An Indiana woman has been accused of filing false claims for tax refunds, while serving as office manager of an H&R Block branch in Indianapolis.

US Attorney Timothy Morrison said Fishers resident Lori Crisp, 44, worked as both an office manager and a preparer of federal tax returns in 2005 and 2006, when the alleged crimes occurred. Morrison said Crisp prepared and electronically filed 47 false claims for refunds using fraudulent W-2 forms. Of the 47, he said, 46 showed the same wages of $34,289 and 36 claimed fraudulent education credits. T

he total amount of claimed refunds was $218,000 dollars. Morrison said $34,000 in refunds were issued before agents with the Internal Revenue Service detected the scheme. “The scheme was to obtain $218,000 in refunds in the names of people whose addresses are not on the returns and who don’t know that the returns are being filed,” said istant U.S. Attorney Susan Heckard Dowd.

Crisp faces a possible five-year prison term and a $250,000 fine if convicted.

I live in a large community in Southeastern Indiana, USA. When I say large, I mean we have a population of over 5,000 and nearly 200 miles of roads. We just got turned down on ‘town status’ by our local county commissioners. The main reasons for this was the loss of property tax revenue for the county and the loss of income tax revenue for the municipality that is close by. The county says that we are a gated community and that the county can tell us what to do. The county sheriff’s department says that we are a private community and they have no authority what-so-ever within our boundaries. Each property owner pays individual property taxes on each lot to the county. The county gets nearly $1 million in property taxes. The closest municipality gets $2 million plus in income taxes.

A private community is one in which the members join voluntarily. They can be an association or a proprietary organization.

Associations include condominiums, residential associations, and cooperatives.

Examples of proprietary communities are hotels, shopping centers, apartment housing, and office buildings.

In its modern form, a gated community is a form of residential community sometimes characterized by a closed perimeter of walls and fences, but always containing controlled entrances for pedestrians, bicycles, and automobiles. Gated communities usually consist of small residential streets and include various amenities. For smaller communities this may be only a park or other common area. For larger communities, it may be possible for residents to stay within the community for most day-to-day activities.

Im starting a business that will mostly provide powder coating to build a revenue, but I have been working on some prototypes for car parts that I want to be able to provide in the future as well. Some are for looks while some would be performance upgrades. I would like a somewhat short and catchy name that people are going to remember, but not cheap and cheesy. Initials would be good like Toyota’s TRD, but it would have to stand for something that would represent my business. And I don’t really want it to be something powder coating because I really want to offer much more then that in the future. I live in Knox Indiana, so if its something with knox/hoosier in it, it might work, i dunno im kinda blank, anyone have any good ideas?
lol, ya i wasnt planning on using toyota, i just used their trd program as an example of how initials could be used, I get your point, but i dont wanna mimic some company, thats what cheap off brands do, I want to provide the highest quality of everything i provide, not a 2nd best
