Our News -
21Jul08 Monday - Councillor Marilyn Pfisterer has initiated a proposal intended to help find gainful employment for the 500 ex-offenders that are released in Marion County every month. "This proposal is a bi-partisan effort that is intended to help impact the crime rate in Marion County by helping previously incarcerated people find jobs instead of turning back to a life of crime." says Councilor Pfisterer - Proposal No. 296, 2008 requires the City of Indianapolis/Marion County Purchasing division to grant preference to businesses that have programs for the hiring of previously incarcerated persons. Councillor Pfisterer said that Marion County receives the highest number of ex-offenders in the entire state of Indiana. The proposal passed out of the Administration and Finance Committee on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 and will be heard at the full Council on Monday July 21, 2008. | If you are interested is supporting her proposal you might want to be there at 7:00 PM on Monday evening | Click on Press Release
