Special Session = Special Questions
As Indiana lawmakers convene for the first day of the special session, here are some questions I think are worth asking…
- With one side wanting a two-year budget and the other a one-year budget, how will lawmakers reach a compromise?
- When will they leave?
- Will lawmakers adopt a school funding formula that allots more money to schools per student or per district?
- When will they leave?
- Will there be a cap on charter schools?
- When will they leave?
- What’s going to happen with the CIB?
- When will they leave?
- Will gaming manage to make it into the budget?
- Are they gone, yet?
Of course I do caution you, that when it comes to the Indiana General Assembly, just when thought you had the answers, lawmakers come along and change the questions.
