Prospects for Tax Cuts Boosted by Governor’s Support
INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana legislators pushing for significant tax cuts are now getting some support from Gov. Eric Holcomb.
Indiana legislators pushing for significant tax cuts are now getting some support from Gov. Eric Holcomb. The governor had sided for months with Senate Republicans reluctant to embrace major tax cuts, citing uncertainty about the economy despite a big jump in tax collections boosting the state’s budget surplus.
Sen. Todd Young speaks on the impact of inflation.
Last week, Sen. Todd Young joined fellow Republicans at a press conference on the impact bad Democratic policies have had on inflation, and consequently, Hoosier families.
"Forty years, a forty-year high in price inflation and $276 in additional expenditures for working families each month, that’s the average amount that Hoosier families are having to pay on account of policy decisions.
“I’ll continue to advocate for smart policies, as opposed to these ill-advised policies, because this is having a real impact on rank-and-file Americans, and it has to stop."
Happy President's Day!
