LOCAL STATE SENATOR RECEIVES PIPE BOMB THREAT

(Franklin County, IN)--A Whitewater Valley elected official has been affected by the same type of incidents that are happening to other politicians across the country.  Indiana State Senator Jean Leising’s district includes parts of Fayette and Franklin County.  Leising said that her home in Oldenburg was the target of a pipe bomb threat on Saturday night.  Leising announced the threat on social media and linked it to national political tension calling it "a result of the D.C. political pundits for redistricting."  Several law enforcement agencies searched her home and found nothing of concern.
