Indiana tuition ⬇️ Illinois tuition ⬆️ I froze all tuition and mandatory fee increases at all public colleges and universities for two academic years. I'll always prioritize ensuring you get the best value while protecting your bottom line!

Yesterday I showed FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton what Hoosier communities are facing as they recover from the recent severe storms and flooding in Carmel, Gary and Connersville. I’m grateful for @fema's partnership and for @POTUS @realDonaldTrump's swift approval of our major disaster declaration, which is already bringing critical assistance to Hoosiers and communities, like the ones we saw yesterday, as they rebuild and recover.

I am pleased to share that my request for a major disaster declaration has been approved for multiple counties. Thank you, @POTUS. This critical support will help Hoosiers recovering from historic storms and flooding. We’re grateful for this partnership as we work to rebuild, recover, and help communities get back on their feet.

I spoke with President Trump today about the severe storms and historic flooding impacting Indiana, and he informed me that he intends to approve our request for a Presidential Emergency Declaration. I’m grateful to President Trump for his commitment to getting Hoosiers the federal assistance we need as we continue responding and recovering.

My heart is with every Hoosier impacted by today’s severe weather. I am devastated to learn of the loss of life, injuries, and damaged homes. We are working around the clock with local officials, emergency responders and utility crews to get resources where they’re needed most following today’s severe storms and widespread power outages. I have directed the Indiana Department of Homeland Security to lead our state’s response efforts in collaboration with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Indiana State Police, Indiana National Guard, Indiana Department of Transportation, and the Indiana Department of Correction. ISP and INDOT are currently on the ground clearing roads and providing security and DNR and DOC are deploying additional crews to clear downed power lines and debris. I am continuing to assess conditions and stand ready to activate the Indiana National Guard if additional support is needed. Our priority is keeping Hoosiers safe, supporting communities as they assess the damage, and restoring power as quickly as possible. 🔵 Please stay off the roads where conditions are dangerous and follow guidance from local authorities. 🔵 If you have been affected by today’s storm, please contact your county emergency management agency. 🔵 If your power is out, cooling centers can be found in your area by visiting: on.in.gov/coolingcenters

Great visit to Franklin College yesterday with President Kerry Prather and Franklin Mayor Steve Barnett. Franklin College is helping build Indiana’s talent pipeline by preparing students for careers in our high-growth industries. Better yet, the vast majority of its graduates choose to build their careers right here in Indiana.

Affordability is priority one for my administration. Because of our strong focus on bringing down prices, Hoosiers not only have the lowest gas prices in the country, but we also will pay less this year for our 4th of July celebrations and less than the national average. indianacapitalchronicle.com/…
