Rep. Frizzell unveils 2015 Legislative Agenda
STATEHOUSE - State Representative Dave Frizzell (R-Indianapolis) along with Indiana House Speaker Brian C. Bosma (R-Indianapolis) and members of the House Republican Caucus unveiled the 2015 House Republican Legislative Agenda. They outlined their plan to increase accountability for all Hoosiers while strengthening Indiana in four major categories: Budget, Education, Ethics and Public Safety. “As elected leaders, we must be accountable to Hoosiers – accountability is our responsibility. I look forward to working together this legislative session to address these issues,” said Speaker Bosma. Even though Indiana’s economic statistics are at an all-time high, public safety continues to be an issue impacting the state. “With my experience as a member of the Public Health Committee, I understand the importance of protecting and ensuring the well-being of all Hoosiers,” said Rep. Frizzell. “Prioritizing public safety shows the dedication House Republicans have to improving the welfare of all those within Indiana.” Currently, Indiana is tied for the third highest amount of police deaths and is ranked as having the fifth highest infant mortality rate. According to the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV), 1,743 victims were turned away due to lack of space at their shelters. “House Republicans will continue advocating and passing legislative that safeguards Hoosier families,” said Rep. Frizzell. “Our goal is to provide additional tools to local governments, which can be used to better protect our communities.” House Republicans will be working with local communities, strategically investing funds and working with the ICADV on multiple issues. The House will also be partnering with ICADV as the Speaker’s charity initiative for the year. -30-
