Associated Press, "Indiana Library Faces Major Budget Cuts," Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Herald-Times, January 31, 2015, p. A5. NOTE: This the publication of this article, the governor has re-evaluated his position on the issue and the elimination of the genealogy department at the state library is no longer under imminent threat. The item below was abstracted from the original by Randi Richardson who provided the text in parenthesis. Gov. Mike Pence developed a budget plan that reduced the Indiana State Library's funding by 24 percent which would eliminate the library's genealogy department as well as access to a number of licensed databases. Meanwhile the state proposes to fund the construction of a new (and sorely needed) state archives.
