Indiana lawmakers pass 7.7 billion budget in special session
In a Monday special session Indiana lawmakers approved a 7.7 billion operating construction and highway budget, funding a local mental health center Mounds State Park and juvenile justice programs despite opposition. A tax control bill limiting local tax increases was approved, while a police fire pension reform bill with funding plans was advanced, and measures on license plates and corporate growth tax phasedown were also passed. The package totals and details reflect a bid to sustain state services and address property tax relief over the next years.
