The Legislative Director Talking About Legislative Things

Ambre and Jason are back in the studio and update the audience on Indiana's Multisector Plan on Aging. Will the state be ready for the population to be older? The team is engaged and helping so Hoosiers can age in place. We're bringing the heat. Also, Ambre's water heater got fixed.

What is going on!? You may want to say not much, but Ambre and Jason (with a little help from Anna) taped this week’s episode from the Indiana Statehouse. They were there to hear which topics legislators will be discussing this interim. Is it going to be a busy summer? A boring summer? Also, did you have a recent birthday? All of this is discussed and more!

On this week's episode of The Legislative Director Talking about Legislative Things, Ambre and Jason are lacing up their running shoes. They're trading out the Statehouse and their lobbying threads for the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon and running shorts. Try to keep up! 

Ambre and Jason have non-eclipse news to share! We're just a month away from the 2024 Primaries, and AARP is rolling out Video Voter Guides for the gubernatorial contest. And there's an update from the Indiana Behavioral Health Commission, as well as Prosperity Indiana's recent conference.

On this week's episode, Ambre and Jason are joined by special guest Anna Forster, PhD. Anna joined AARP Indiana's volunteer Legislative Team during the 2024 General Assembly. They talk about her experiences in statehouse halls, an upcoming project, and of course, get hyped for Purdue's appearance in the Final Four!

On this episode of The Legislative Director Talking About Legislative Things, Ambre and Jason are ready for their close-up! They talk about their debut on Indy Now, AARP Indiana's sponsorship of a recent gubernatorial primary debate, and the team's plans around voter engagement.

On this week’s episode of The Legislative Director Talking about Legislative Things, Ambre is packing her bags. That’s right, this year’s legislative session is over, and the Legislative Director has a lot of people to thank before heading to the beach. Who and what are we thankful for this session? A 13th check for retired public servants, new measures curtailing predatory real estate practices, a pilot program expanding mobile integrated healthcare, and every single person, organization, and advocate who helped AARP Indiana secure these incredible victories for older Hoosiers! Oh, and did we tell you we're sponsoring a gubernatorial primary debate?

We didn't hear any bell! The 2024 Indiana General Assembly is duking it out in its last round. Can HB 1004 Pension Matters hang on? Could Producer Dan figure out a better metaphor for this political fight? Look, it's been a long, short session. All we know is that time is running out. And, Ambre and Jason take some time to preview what's next for the show.

Ambre and Jason are on the road again. This time it's down in Evansville for a rate case hearing. But they are safely stopped to give you an update on the latest from Southwestern Indiana and then they have HUGE news about dedicated lanes and the Blue Line in Indianapolis.

Legislative Director Ambre Marr and Not the Legislative Director Jason Tomcsi hunker down in the AARP Indiana studio for a quick Indiana General Assembly update. With a storm brewing outside, Ambre and Jason turn to a slate of bills that may need a rescue. Or, in the very least, a decent umbrella, as committee deadlines look more like squalls and less than light sprinkles. Will mobile integrated health, pension matters, and transportation weather the storm?
