NEXT (3-7) on 93 WIBC Indianapolis: We start the big show. Talking about homicides in #Indy and if the Indianapolis City-County Council is showing enough urgency to deal with the issue. Plus, #Biden going door to door with vaccines? Rob Kendall at 3:35, Brian Mowery at 5:05 and Joe Reitz at 5:20.

When Prosecutor Mears stood before the public safety committee, he was either ignorant of the process or misleading. Either way, it seems “absent” is a word that describes the prosecutor's office. fox59.com/news/indycrime…

I remember last week when @LeroyRobinsonD1 Ryan Mears Mayor Joe Hogsett Vop Osili and others held a purely show of a “public safety” meeting to pat each other on the back and convince Indy that our criminal justice system is working. This is awful. Something has to change.

See Minority Leader Brian Mowery's statement on today's public safety press conference:

Tonight is the North Shadeland Alliance Crime Summit. Mayor Joe Hogsett never responded to the invite and Ryan Mears declined. Luckily Rev Dr Charles Harrison is here leading a discussion with a packed house on trying to curb the record violence.

As violent crime spirals out of control, there was a packed house at last night's North Shadeland Alliance Crime Summit. Sadly, Mayor Joe Hogsett and Prosecutor Ryan Mears were both no shows.

This is a result of a lack of leadership. This didn't have to be this way. Our thoughts and prayers are with the U.S. servicemen and women and all other victims in Afghanistan. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

Every time the prosecutor goes before the Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee he gets shielded from answering the tough questions. Why won't Chairman Robinson let the prosecutor speak?

Thank you leader Brian Mowery for recognizing the brave and selfless men and women of task force 1! These are some of the best leaders the Hoosier state has to offer.

Be sure to RSVP for the holiday reception with Leader Brian Mowery and Councillor Paul M. Annee featuring special guest Rep. Greg Pence! The details are below!

We certainly remember! Imagine where we could be had this been taken serious when we introduced it!

This is something Leader Brian Mowery and Republican councilors have been proposing for some time. Hopefully, now the judiciary is doing the same, it will get some traction! indystar.com/story/news/202…

.State Senator Fady Qaddoura and Senator J.D. Ford today Indianapolis City-County Council and Vop Osili started "shadow redistricting hearings." There were no maps available for voters to comment on. Given past outrage, we look forward to you condemning these "shadow hearings" mailchi.mp/indyrepublican…]

"Young has 29 prior felonies on his record and was under GPS monitoring at the time of his arrest and the events that led up to it." How many priors does it take for Ryan Mears to hold an offender accountable? fox59.com/news/indycrime…

You can’t make this stuff up…

Thank you, Michael-Paul Hart and Indy Council GOP, for leading on this issue! Indy deserves accountability!

To have Ryan Mears talking about victim advocacy is beyond disingenuous and a slap in the face to the record/growing number of victims in this county. Indianapolis needs a prosecutor that will be a victim advocate. Indy needs Cyndi Carrasco
