Holcomb Says Outgoing Welfare Chief Wrong About Funding For Opioid Crisis

Gov. Eric Holcomb is disputing allegations made by his outgoing child welfare chief accusing his administration of slashing program funding while Indiana is gripped by an opioid crisis. The Republican governor said Monday that funding for the Department of Child Services has actually increased over the last year, not decreased. Holcomb also said that he shares the same commitment to children as outgoing agency director Mary Beth Bonaventura.
