With COVID-19 Restrictions Challenged, Indiana Governor Asks State Supreme Court to Strike Down Law Empowering Legislature

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb addresses the media after meeting with former residents and taking a brief tour of the West Calumet Housing Complex with EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt on April 19, 2017, in East Chicago, Ind. All of the residents of the complex were ordered to move by the East Chicago Housing Authority after the soil and many homes in the complex were found to contain high levels of lead. The area has been declared an EPA superfund site. This was Pruitt's first visit to a superfund site since being named the agency's administrator. The complex is scheduled for demolition.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb is asking the state’s Supreme Court to review a lower court ruling that upheld limits on the governor’s emergency powers.

The appeal comes as President Joe Biden, Congress, governors, state legislatures, mayors, and local lawmakers across the United States battle over their proper respective roles in dealing with the CCP virus, the pathogen that causes the disease COVID-19.
