The bowls are part of the Empty Bowls Evansville project, which raises money to fight hunger among undernourished veterans. Last year’s event brought in eight thousand dollars.

Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced Monday he will be signing a proclamation calling a special legislative session for the General Assembly to convene on Monday, November 3rd to consider altering the boundaries of Indiana’s congressional districts and to consider resolving an important issue regarding federal and state tax compliance that must be addressed. Officials say Indiana uses federal tax law as the starting point for the Indiana tax return, and the recent changes to federal tax law in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act include provisions that impact Indiana state tax filings. They say addressing this discrepancy through a special session will provide taxpayers, accountants and businesses the confidence and clarity ahead of filing season, avoid amended returns and filing delays and continue the Indiana Department of Revenue’s strong record of fiscal management.
