Carson to lie in state at the Capitol rotunda

Via Mitch Harper at Fort Wayne Observed:

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniel has begun arrangements for the body of U.S. Representative Julia Carson to lie in state at the Indiana Statehouse.

Additionally, the Governor has ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff until sunset on the day of interment.

Congresswoman Carson began her career as an elected official as a State Representative and then as a State Senator before moving on to the Center Township Trustee’s office. She was first elected to Congress in 1996 following the retirement of Andy Jacobs.
