Re-upping this story from earlier in the week. Gov. Braun signed an executive order limiting transgender Hoosiers' ability to change their driver's licenses. But he initially said it wouldn't do that. The administration later acknowledged the governor misspoke.

3 more women accuse Indiana Senate Minority Leader Greg Taylor of sexual misconduct
Taylor was recently reelected by a majority of his caucus as its leader, hours after IndyStar reported on initial allegations of sexual harassment.
The three women accuse Taylor of abusing his position as a lawmaker by making unwanted advances, touching them without permission and forcibly kissing a legislative intern against her will after following her into the women’s bathroom.
That makes six allegations.
