Ind. Gov't. - "AG blasted for GUEA scholarships plan"
John Byrne of the Gary Post-Tribune reports today in a story that begins:
INDIANAPOLIS -- State Rep. Charlie Brown of Gary blasted outgoing Attorney General Steve Carter on Monday for earmarking funds recovered from the disbanded Gary Urban Enterprise Association for scholarships at Indiana University Northwest.Brown said Carter exceeded his authority by unilaterally tabbing $675,000 in GUEA funds for scholarships.
"Perhaps this is a good way for the $675,000 to be used, but this is a decision that should be made by the people of the area that was supposed to benefit from GUEA," Brown said. "The original intent was for the people of the Emerson neighborhood to determine the best uses of the money, not some person ruling from on high down in Indianapolis."
