Fiscally Responsible Leadership

In recent years, Senate Republicans have prioritized tax cuts and fiscal responsibility to help keep more dollars in the pockets of hardworking Hoosiers.

Why it matters: Fiscal responsibility has allowed the state to maintain low tax rates for Hoosiers.

In recent years, I have supported many efforts to continue our mission of maintaining fiscal responsibility while cutting taxes.

Doubling the small-business personal property tax exemption is providing an additional $18 million in annual tax relief for 30,000 small businesses statewide.
To support families, we doubled the income-tax deduction parents can claim for a new child and eliminated fees on textbooks.
Eliminating a tax on utilities has reduced Hoosiers' energy bills by over $200 million per year.
To pave the way for future tax reform and keep our promises to retirees, we are paying down our state's largest pension fund years ahead of schedule.
To ensure tax dollars are used as efficiently as possible, we established a process to transfer unused dedicated state revenues to the General Fund.

Fiscally conservative leadership has allowed Indiana to lower income-tax rates and maintain one of the lowest property-tax rates in the nation, and as your state senator, I will continue to support policies that make us a fiscal envy of the nation.

Indiana named 'Best State for Business'

This week, the state is celebrating the more than 534,000 small businesses in Indiana as part of Small Business Week.

Chief Executive Magazine recently named Indiana as the top state in the Midwest and sixth-best state in the country to do business.

This ranking comes on the heels of several recent economic development announcements including an $11 billion investment from Amazon, $2 billion investment from Google and $1.4 billion investment from Toyota.
