INDIANAPOLIS — Every year it’s at the top of the resolution list to join a gym and get in shape but this year things are different and the fitness world has been left to adjust to the new norm.
“I feel like this is going to be the best year ever,” Camise Patterson said.
As a certified trainer and nutrition coach, Patterson is looking towards helping her clients crush their resolutions and goals in 2021.
“Normally I meet with clients in the gym or in their home,” Patterson said. “This year with COVID-19 and gyms closing down, it has become a virtual experience.”
Around this time each year gyms start advertising specials and deals to kick off the new year since its well known that new year, new me is said a lot Jan. 1.
“Most people have these goals in mind but this year it is really important that they stick to them past Jan. 31,” Patterson said.
INDIANAPOLIS — A new bill filed by two Indiana state senators would put the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department in the hands of a state-appointed board.
The bill, filed by State Senators Jack Sandlin (R-Indianapolis) and Scott Baldwin (R-Noblesville), would create a five-member board to “provide a new level of governance and civilian oversight” and reduce political influences, the state senators say. The mayor of Indianapolis and four members appointed by the governor would serve on the board.
If the bill makes it through the Statehouse, the board would take over in January 2023.
If enacted, the bill would:
Adopt, amend and enforce municipal ordinances
Resolutions and rules pertaining to the administration of IMPD
Serve as the merit board for the department
Appoint the police chief, who would operate the department
The move comes as the department faced a record level of homicides in 2020 and as the state legislature plans to begin looking at new bills tomorrow.
Sandlin says Senate Bill 168 came after he spoke with the community about concerns they have with the department. He says he took a look at models and ways he might be able to help respond to the issues and rebuild trust in the department.
“Indianapolis is an economic engine for the state of Indiana and we have people from all over the state to come to Indianapolis to visit, we have a great convention business, we have all these great sports teams,” Sandlin said. “We need to do something dramatic, in my opinion, and others, to try to take a look at the governance so we might be able to have an opportunity to reinstill that relationship and confidence in the community.”
