INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Supreme Court has awarded $450,000 in grants that will pay for court reforms such as helping people not fluent in English get legal aid.

The funding that's being directed to the 15 counties, five pro bono districts and one committee is intended for reforms in two primary categories.

One effort will help courts in the chosen counties better manage the increasing caseload of people involved in lawsuits who don't have legal representation.

The grants' other aim is to help people who don't speak fluent English get legal aid.

GOP US Rep. Spartz, of Indiana, charged with bringing gun through airport security, officials say

Authorities say Indiana Republican U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz has been charged with bringing a firearm through airport security. Airport officials said Monday she was charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor. Spartz's office says she was traveling to Europe and mistakenly carried an unloaded handgun in the pocket of her suitcase while going through security at Washington Dulles International Airport. Spartz is a staunch Second Amendment Republican representing central Indiana. She won her primary in May after saying last year that she would retire from congress. The charge carries up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if convicted.
