Thanks for reaching out. I looked at it [petition] and I am generally supportive of the concept if the database is based on convictions and is applied equally to both men and women who have been convicted.

However, this isn’t an issue for which local legislation can be passed in Indiana. The request needs to be shared with state legislators.

Thanks,
Todd D. Barton
Mayor
City of Crawfordsville
