Mayoral Candidate Debate & Donations, CHIPS Act, PFAS Research, Special Education Segregation

Candidates in the race for Indianapolis mayor, Hogsett and Shreve, debated top issues during the first televised meeting. The candidates recently reported their donations to the Marion County Board of Elections in a campaign worth close to $20.7 million (dollars) and counting. Indiana was named a tech hub under the federal CHIPS Act, a major win for Hoosiers'. Many experts say it is harmful to isolate children with disabilities. Nationally, however, public districts paid for about 166,000 students with disabilities to attend segregated schools.
