• Lafayette woman said 'No Kings' should pay for security at protests (jconline.com) — Taxpayer-funded security for the recurring "No Kings" marches in downtown Lafayette is drawing pushback from resident Cindy Pratt, who calls them political rallies. Speaking at a Tippecanoe County Council meeting, she argued organizers like Greater Lafayette Indivisible should cover security costs, while council member and group president Lisa Dullum maintains the courthouse marches are legitimate protests.
