Note to the Press – Area legislators provided the following statements today after Gov. Eric Holcomb announced his plan to call state lawmakers back to the Statehouse for a special session to provide inflation relief to Hoosier taxpayers:
STATEHOUSE (June 9, 2022) – "Hoosiers are working hard every day while facing historically high inflation, and they deserve some relief. An additional automatic taxpayer refund this year would put money directly in the hands of taxpayers, where it belongs," said State Rep. Dale DeVon (R-Granger).
"This would be a responsible step in managing taxpayer dollars. After supporting the largest tax cut in state history, I'm ready to return to the Statehouse and ensure this second automatic taxpayer refund happens for Hoosiers," said State Rep. Jake Teshka (R-South Bend).
"An additional automatic taxpayer refund this year would be an efficient way to provide quick and substantial relief to hardworking Hoosiers. When looking at the state's strong finances and then considering the hardships caused by inflation, this is a responsible approach in doing what is right on behalf of taxpayers," said State Rep. Tim Wesco (R-Osceola).
