Republican AG Todd Rokita Spending Taxpayer Dollars on Personal Legal Defense
Last week, the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission filed a misconduct complaint against Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita for his attack of a doctor who provided abortion care to a ten year old rape victim. It’s come out that Rokita spent nearly $200,000 in Indiana taxpayer dollars on his pursuit of Bernard. Now, Rokita is spending thousands more of your dollars for the personal defense of his law license.
Rokita’s actions continue to keep Indiana in the news for all the wrong reasons. His use of hardworking Hoosiers’ money to defend his own law license is wrong. Indiana deserves better.
Each week, the State Party will highlight key policy from Democrats at the Statehouse or across the state. Democrats deliver a better future for Hoosier families, and we urge you to share this information with your networks.
Share State Representative Carey Hamilton
This week, State Rep. Carey Hamilton (Indianapolis) amplified her call for Indiana to abolish the “Pink Tax”, taxes on menstrual products and other feminine hygiene products. Her renewed call comes in the wake of the conservative Texas legislature passing a bill that eradicates the discriminatory tax.
Rep. Hamilton believes the Indiana legislature has the opportunity to put politics aside like Texas did and pass similar legislation to equal the playing field. Indiana Democrats will continue to fight for the elimination of unfair taxes that make basic hygiene products and healthcare inaccessible.
