$500 million effort to transform regional economies and a daunting challenge in
an extended interview on this weekend’s edition of Inside Indiana Business with
Gerry Dick...The second-term governor says he is very bullish on the state’s

The bottom line: “The state's updated fiscal forecast in April projected an
increase of $2.4 billion in tax revenue over the next three years compared to
December's projections. This report reflects confidence in Indiana's future and
proof that years of responsible fiscal stewardship played a key role in
Indiana's strong emergence out of the pandemic. That's why our new biennial
budget pays down debt and makes strategic investments in our citizens, schools,
communities and infrastructure.” –– State Rep. Bob Heaton (R-46)

saving money in the long run and $500 million will help shore up the depleted
unemployment insurance trust fund.” –– The Bond Buyer
