The Mayor, City Councillors Rozelle Boyd and Jackie Nytes, and volunteers from Emmis Communications, One America, WellPoint and the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce will be passing out "$100 Grand" candy bars at the Statehouse today to legislators and other visitors to the Statehouse.
WHEN: TODAY - Wednesday, April 20

Last week, the Mayor held a rally at the Statehouse to urge state legislators to use the final days of the legislative session to pass Indianapolis Works. Since then, volunteers have been holding a banner outside the Statehouse urging the legislators to act and reminding the public about the consequences of inaction.
