By Joni Howell, Manager, Government & Community Affairs...SEN. DAVID FORD HONORED: The Senate amended SB 111 to rename the Indiana Technology Fund to the Sen. David C. Ford School and Library Technology Fund.
Senate President Pro Tem David Long, R-Fort Wayne, offered the amendment to honor Ford, who is critically ill and fighting cancer. Ford, a Republican from Hartford City, has chaired the Senate Economic Development and Technology Fund since its inception in 2003.
"Senator Ford has been a respected leader, tireless advocate and visionary champion for initiatives aimed at increasing educational opportunities for Indiana children through the use of technology," the amendment said. "The Indiana General Assembly wishes to acknowledge Senator Ford's extraordinary efforts by renaming the Indiana Technology Fund in his honor."
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sen. Ford and his family.
