John,

 

Governor Holcomb delivered his virtual State of the State address to Hoosiers
on Tuesday to highlight the challenges –– and the even greater opportunities ––
facing our state in 2021.

 

From expanding broadband infrastructure to fighting again for pregnancy
accommodations for Hoosier moms in the workplace, the Governor laid out his
bold vision for how Indiana can take a massive leap forward in the upcoming
year.

Governor Holcomb outlined Indiana’s strong financial standing which continues
to defy all the odds and puts our state in a position to:

* Increase K-12 funding by $377 million and restore higher education funding
by $103 million in the coming year.
*
Pay down $400 million of teacher pension debt.

*
Pay off outstanding bonds and mortgages on I-69 and three state hospitals.

Governor Holcomb doubled down on his commitment to making the Hoosier
workforce stronger, more inclusive, and more prepared than ever before,
including:

*
Building on the past successes of Indiana’s Workforce Ready and Employer
Training Grant programs to fill thousands of open job positions.

*
Governor Holcomb is again asking the General Assembly to pass pregnancy
accommodations for expecting mothers.

Governor Holcomb laid out a strong foundation for modernizing and
strengthening Indiana’s infrastructure, including:

*
Completing I-69 from Evansville to Indianapolis, in addition to upgrading US
Routes 30 and 31.

*
Expanding on our Next Level Connections program that’s bringing rural
broadband to underserved communities. 

*
Steaming ahead on two of the nation’s largest public transit rail projects.

Governor Holcomb highlighted how Indiana’s investments in strong public health
are paying dividends for Hoosiers:

*
Indiana’s infant mortality rate now stands at an all-time record low.

*
Over 575,000 eligible Hoosiers have scheduled their COVID vaccines –– and you
can too by calling 211 or visitingourshot.in.gov <[link removed]>.

*
Indiana now leads the nation in adoptions out of foster care.

To close out his speech, Governor Holcomb emphasized the need to modernize our
state government so that it works for all Hoosiers by:

*
Outfitting all state police officers with body cameras.

*
Appointing our state’s first Chief Equity, Inclusion, and Opportunity Officer
to improve diversity outcomes across state government.

*
Getting Indiana’s diversity dashboard up and running as well as completing an
outside review of our state’s law enforcement agencies and academies.

John, despite all the challenges and roadblocks that 2020 threw at us, there’s
plenty of reasons for Hoosiers to be hopeful for a stronger, safer, and more
stable tomorrow here in Indiana. 

 

We’re glad that you’re on board, and we look forward to continuing our work
together to build One Indiana for All.
