Gary funds use charge shocks Indiana budget laws
An Indiana board charged Gary with illegally spending more than 2.3 million in public funds between 1958 and 1961 under a lax budget regime. The report blames Mayor Chacharis, later jailed for tax evasion, and successors Visclosky and Sheriff-elect Truchan for improper payments, overdrafts, and fund misuse.

GOP Demands Tax Action Be Delayed In Indiana
Indiana Republicans refuse to push tax measures until state needs are scientifically verified. Sen. D Russell Bontrager and Sen. Charles Kellum said education funding figures were too high and no sales or gross income tax was advocated. They reviewed mental health and benevolent institutions estimates as preliminary and discussed committee assignments and procedures to avoid last minute logjams. Three steps to ease property tax were proposed including allowing local units to levy.
