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) – “I've heard from so many across the community who are feeling the sting of paying more for everyday needs. Providing another automatic taxpayer refund is a quick and efficient way to help Hoosiers offset some of these increasing costs," said State Rep. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville).

“While we've long prioritized keeping taxes low, Hoosiers' pocketbooks continue to get hit by soaring costs caused by the failed leadership in Washington, D.C. Now is the time for additional tax relief as we work our way out of this inflationary pressure," said State Rep. Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee.

“I look forward to joining House lawmakers soon to return more money to the hardworking Hoosiers who earned it. It's the right move at a time when we're experiencing the worst inflation in decades," said State Rep. Alan Morrison (R-Brazil).
