Pence Asks Gary Leaders to Come Up With Long-Term Plan

INDIANAPOLIS (WOWO): We told you last week about the request from Gary's mayor for Indiana police to help its stressed police department.

Pence asked Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson in a letter to give details on how the assistance fits into the city's “longer-term plans for self-sufficiency,” especially after Lake County adopted a 1.5 percent income tax in May.
