31+ min ago (492+ words) At its last meeting of the year Tuesday evening, the Porter County Council bestowed some early holiday season giving to themselves and their fellow elected officials with a $2,000 raise in 2026 by a vote of 4-3. Councilman Jeremy Rivas, D-2nd, explained his dissenting vote. "I heard all last year how dire the financial situation is, and now miracles happen," Rivas told his colleagues. The council had previously approved a $2,000 raise for all county employees for 2026, excluding elected officials as well as Sheriff's Office employees who have a separate raise structure. "We know what we signed up for. That's almost a 10% raise," Rivas said. He added that such a sum seemed unfairly disproportionate, while prosecutors prosecuting high-level offenders are seeing that $2,000 as a much smaller percentage of their total salaries. Council Vice President Red Stone, R-1st, and Councilwoman Michelle Harris, R-At-Large, joined Rivas in voting…...

" Julian Sayin threw three touchdown passes, including a 35-yarder to Jeremiah Smith on a fourth down in the second quarter, and No. 1 Ohio State beat No. 15 Michigan 27-9 in a dominant performance on Saturday. The defending national champion Buckeyes (12-0, 9-0 Big Ten) likely earned a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff.

2+ hour, 20+ min ago (946+ words) WASHINGTON " The Pentagon's investigation of Sen. Mark Kelly over a video that urges American troops to defy "illegal orders" has raised a slew of questions, and some criticism, from legal experts. Some say the Pentagon is misreading military law to go after Kelly as a retired Navy fighter pilot. Others say the Arizona Democrat cannot be prosecuted as a member of Congress. A group of former military prosecutors insists he did nothing wrong. The Pentagon announced the investigation last week after President Donald Trump's social media post accusing Kelly " and the five other Democratic lawmakers in the video " of sedition "punishable by DEATH." Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Kelly was facing investigation because he is the only one in that group who formally retired from the military and is still under the Pentagon's jurisdiction. Kelly dismissed the inquiry as the…...
