STATEHOUSE UPDATE: INDIANA SENATE PASSES BUDGET, GAMING, NEW TAXING POWERS
Following the lead of the Indiana House of Represenatives, the state Senate passed a new budget, property tax relief, expanded gaming and new taxing power for local governments. The Senate passed concurrent measures that passed in the house, however critics called the measures short term, involved too much government spending and were only band-aid solutions to Indiana’s long-term problems. The measures now go Governor Mitch Daniels for his signature.
