Note to the Press – State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton), chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, issued the following statement in response to Gov. Mike Braun releasing the draft of his proposed state budget:
STATEHOUSE (Jan. 16, 2025) – "House Republicans share Gov. Braun's goals of providing tax relief for Hoosiers while investing in education, infrastructure and other essential services. Improving state government efficiency, balancing the state budget and living within our means are also shared objectives. With Medicaid expenditures currently growing at an unsustainable rate, we must carefully balance our investments with maintaining responsible reserves and avoiding future budget deficits. We look forward to working with the new administration and our Senate counterparts to achieve these results."
