about the IEDC, about elevatevate, about where our money's going, and about

what it appears to be just rotten, rotten apple, the entire IEDC, because Elevate is so involved

with this to its core. I mean, I think if we get to the

not just unwisely. And I don't want to say illegally, because I don't know, we'll see what the

audit actually shows. But this report from Indiana Insight shows millions and millions of dollars

may have been improperly spent. And it is, it should be alarming to every single citizen.

So elevate ventures is at the core of this, and they bill themselves as, quote,

the most active venture capital investor in the Great Lakes region and one of the most active

globally, as well as one of the most successful public-private partnerships in the United

States. And they're at the core of this IEDC controversy because a lot of money's gone out.

We don't know where a lot of it went, what the results were for the money. And according to this

report from Indiana Insight, it's not good from what they've been able to put together thus far.

They're a key player. They're under scrutiny, as you mentioned.

They receive $6 million a year from the state.

No, no, go back.
