Studying Important Issues
|
As a part-time legislature, my colleagues and I have the opportunity to conduct in-depth studies on complicated issues by participating in summer study committees.
This year, these committees will focus on issues like mental health among veterans, crime trends, traffic fatalities, artificial intelligence and more.
Work will also continue on topics from the 2023 legislative session including studying the state's high health care costs, reviewing Medicaid costs, services and possible changes in existing services, and continuing to plan for Indiana's major road and bridge needs.
Perhaps most importantly, the State and Local Tax Review Task Force will take a comprehensive look at Indiana's tax system. While Indiana has consistently ranked among the best tax climates in the country, this new task force will look for ways to reduce or eliminate certain taxes so Hoosiers can keep more of their hard-earned money.

General Motors Invests in Fort Wayne
|
Earlier this week, state and local officials met with General Motors (GM) to announce plans to invest $632 million into their local facility, Fort Wayne Assembly.
The investment will be utilized to bolster GM's manufacturing operations at the northeast Indiana facility, supporting the production of the next-generation trucks, new equipment and conveyors. Additionally, it will provide support to nearly 4,000 Hoosier employees working at the facility.
This partnership and investment will continue to provide jobs for residents of Allen County and further the economical successes taking place throughout Fort Wayne and Allen County.
Since 2013, GM has invested over $1.2 billion in Fort Wayne Assembly alone and more than $2.8 billion in Indiana manufacturing operations.
