A bill already under consideration by the Indiana Legislature orders that any worker who request a religious exemption to an employer’s vaccine mandate can automatically get one, “without further inquiry.” As John Russell reports, the bill raises thorny questions about the balance between a worker’s religious freedoms and the right of employers to keep workplaces safe. Also in this week’s issue, Mickey Shuey questions whether city tourism and sports officials properly vetted  a financially troubled developmental football association before it racked up some $1.4 million in unpaid bills in Indianapolis last spring. And Dave Lindquist explains how the College Football Playoff National Championship, set for Jan. 10 in Indianapolis, plans to make a big investment in local teachers.
