The Indiana General Assembly will be tackling some major issues this session. Road funding and education will be our top legislative priorities, and it is your ideas and opinions which help me best represent our district at the Statehouse. To better understand the goals we have for the upcoming session, we need to look at our past accomplishments in these areas, starting with roads.
As the year quickly comes to an end, I am preparing for the 2016 general assembly. This legislative session will be a short session, meaning we won’t be crafting and voting on our state’s biennial budget. The state Legislature must finish by March 14th. Instead of focusing on a budget, we will concentrate on education and road funding.
STATEHOUSE – State Representative Dave Ober (R-Albion) authored legislation that makes changes to Indiana’s election law, most notably, straight ticket voting.

Adjournment of session is just nine short days away. These last two weeks will be filled with hearing all remaining bills and getting them sent over to the Governor's desk. Two of those bills, which we are constitutionally obligated to pass are moving through the process. The first bill, the state budget, now resides over in the Senate where Senator Kenley and his colleagues are working
It has been seven days, since I last wrote to all of you, and unfortunately the situation at the Statehouse remains the same. The House Republicans have reported to session each day last week and the Democrat Caucus has remained camped out in Urbana, Illinois. Last week, Speaker Bosma extended our deadline date, so that we could fulfill our constitutional obligations of passing
If you read last week's column "Deadlines they are approaching," you know that this past week at the Statehouse was a critical week for us; it was the first of three deadline weeks set by House rules. To the frustration of House Republicans, the week's work was halted to a dead stop and the first crucial deadline was missed. The deadline missed was for bills on 3rd reading (final vote) in

February has already shaped up to be quite a month. On the house floor, we have witnessed spirited debates and at times intense discussions leading well into the night. With deadlines quickly approaching, it has been lots of hard work. Here at the General Assembly, we may not be exchanging Valentine's Day cards, but the Indiana House and the Indiana Senate are exchanging
I hope by the time you are reading this that you have chipped your way out of the ice storm from last week. I'm not in favor of lots of snow, but wow it sure beats the ice that we had to deal with. This past storm was no doubt one of the worst we have seen in a number

It's time for another interim committee update. As the summer winds down and autumn gears up, these study committees kick in to overdrive. Most committees must make their reports by November 1, which is remarkably closer than any of us can believe. One of the committees that I serve on is the Census Data Advisory Committee, which includes eight legislators.
Another week of the Indiana General Assembly's 2007 legislative session has gone by, and the process in the House of Representatives is still moving a bit slow for my liking. Very few bills were passed this week, and everything is getting bunched up in the process. I'm hopeful we can quicken the pace, because we still have several major issues that need to be addressed
Over the years, I have often mentioned the different staff roles and the hardworking individuals it takes to make the General Assembly successful. For example, the intern program is a great place for those who wish to have a role in public service. This year, I am excited about two interns to the Indiana House of Representatives, Jessica Wiseman and Lauren
