Summary

State Public Safety Secretary Jennifer-Ruth Green abruptly resigned last week, raising red flags across Indiana.

The agreement came while Green was the subject of an investigation from the Inspector General. What will be the fallout from the once rising Republican star calling it quits under a cloud of alleged scandal? Rob Kendall, Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, and Jim Merritt discuss on Statehouse Happenings.
