John,
Governor Holcomb just unveiled his budget proposal for Indiana–– the ninth
straight balanced budget in a row –– and we’re here to give you the full
picture of what’s in it.
Here’s the bottom line:
While states all across the country have to make drastic funding cuts across
the board, Hoosiers will be seeing the exact opposite.
You read that right, John.
Indiana’s schools, roads, and businesses will actually be seeing an increase
in funding over the coming year as a result of Governor Holcomb’s common-sense
fiscal management –– and that’s great news for every Hoosier.

Here are some of Governor Holcomb’s top budget priorities:
Protect Indiana’s historic investments in K-12 Education
Throughout the pandemic, our teachers, administrators, and schools have gone
above and beyond to safely teach students. We must provide them an increase in
funding under the new budget so that they can continue to support children’s
education.
Maintain Support for Manufacturing Readiness Grants
The pandemic made it clear that we as a nation must create and support
manufacturing operations. By investing in manufacturing grants, Hoosier
companies will be able to lead the way in creating critical products such as
personal protective equipment.
Defend historic investments in Workforce Ready and Employer Training Grants
Indiana has made historic investments in the Hoosier workforce since 2017,
leading to more businesses setting up shop and more jobs being created right
here at home. As Indiana looks to come out of the pandemic stronger than ever,
we must continue to pave the way for a strong recovery by investing in the
Hoosier workforce and the jobs of tomorrow.
Pay down debt to save Hoosiers on future interest payments
Governor Holcomb’s budget proposal doubles down on fiscal responsibility by
paying off $702 million in various state and local debt liabilities. This
payment will save Hoosiers money by eliminating future interest payments and
will also free up money local school corporations can use for teacher pay
increases.

Each of these crucial investments will pave the way for better schools,
stronger infrastructure, more jobs, and more booming businesses within our
state borders not just in 2021, but for years to come.
Governor Holcomb couldn’t be any more proud of how Hoosiers have stepped up in
the face of all the challenges brought on by the pandemic, and he’s even more
excited about our future.
