LEAP District Spending Approaches $1 Billion
March 07, 2025
Spending on the controversial LEAP district nears $1 billion, with only Eli Lilly so far committed to the site. The Senate approves a study committee to look at relocating Indiana’s lowest performing casino from the southeast corner to one of three more profitable regions. A proposal to introduce consumer protections against medical debt collection fails to advance in the Senate. Host Brandon Smith is joined by Republican Mike O’Brien, Democrat Elise Shrock, Niki Kelly of the Indiana Capital Chronicle, and Kayla Dwyer of the Indianapolis Star to debate and discuss this week’s top stories.
