McNutt Era Legislation Backed By Indiana Assembly
The General Assembly enacted many McNutt administration measures to meet emergencies and align with New Deal aims. Critics accused the legislature of being a rubber stamp, while some Democrats rebelled, and McNutt defended reforms including the Reorganization Act reducing departments from 169 to 8 and giving the governor broad staffing control. The Gross Income tax and Liquor Control Act drew sharp opposition from small retailers and anti monopoly critics respectively.

Indiana Social Security Legislation Drive By McNutt Era
The excerpt describes Indiana adopting a state financed aid program for the aged, aligning with federal Social Security outlines, and McNutt urging a special session to harmonize laws. It notes Democratic majorities in 1933 and 1935, Perkins’ resignation amid intra party disputes, and a 1933 bill postponing municipal elections to save 300000 amid budget pressures.
