The City of Indianapolis is taking matters into its own hands when it comes to guns and restricting right turns on red lights and state lawmakers are trying to stop them.
The city has taken a rare opportunity to undercut a trend of Indiana Republicans inserting themselves into how the city's Democrats want to lead.
The city is defying a new state law that prohibits regulating red-light turns.
Indianapolis will defy state lawmakers, led by Indianapolis Republican Sen. Aaron Freeman, and move forward a plan to make downtown no-turn-on-red.
The council plans to vote Monday to place no-turn-on-red restrictions at downtown intersections before the effective date of a state law banning the city from doing so. The local proposal includes an amendment designed to further insulate the city from state legislation.
