An Agreement to Agree
Indiana lawmakers took their first step toward dealing with a potential $1 billion budget shortfall. They agreed to work toward an agreement on how the process will work.
In a two-hour budget committee meeting that got testy for a bit, lawmakers and representatives from the Governor’s Office agreed to have their budget sub-committee use figures from both the Governor and the Legislature when crafting a new budget.
Lawmakers also agreed to bring in two outside budget experts and have something to work with by their next meeting which is May 26.
With all this agreement, drawing up a document should be child’s play. (Insert sarcasm here)
