Governor Holcomb focuses on drug epidemic, infant mortality rate during 2018 State of the State Adress

Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb delivered his 2018 State of the State address to a joint convention of the Indiana General Assembly on Tuesday with a focus on four main goals this year: Hoosier jobs, Hoosier education, fighting the drug epidemic and battling infant mortality. “This year, my focus can be summed up in three words: people, people, people,” Holcomb said. Holcomb also reiterated his pledge to conduct a “transparent review” of the state’s troubled Department of Child Services. “There is no one in this state that cares more about Hoosier children than I do,” said Holcomb. “I’ll do whatever’s necessary to ensure the success of our agency and its mission.”
