Lake County had 98 millionaires.\nMore than 30 percent of all Indiana returns reported income of $10,000 or less, while 22.8 percent had income of more than $50,000 in 2001.\nAnother article the IBRC is publishing in a bimonthly publication called INContext found more than 80 percent of state revenue comes from within the state.\nMorton Marcus, the center's former director, reviewed 2000 data from the Census Bureau and the Rockefeller Institute and found that Indiana derived 82.6 percent of its state and local government revenues from its own sources and 17.4 percent from the federal government.\nLecture to discuss political Islam\nThe IU Ottoman and Modern Turkish Chair is sponsoring a lecture on "Zones of Political Islam," at 9 p.m. tonight in Woodburn Hall, Room 120.
