Indiana Legislature Concludes Session Amid Finances Debates
Indiana's seventy third general assembly adjourned after a 60 day session in which 245 of 927 bills were passed. Governor McCray secured a $2,000,000 Pendleton reformatory appropriation and a $17,470,842.09 budget package, while debates centered on gasoline tax auto fees and state finance shifts. The session preserved key boards and avoided broad educational reform, with party dynamics shaping future campaigns.
