 Summer committee will look at infrastructure, traffic flow:
(from 071219 News Update)

The summer and fall months are excellent opportunities for Indiana lawmakers to study and examine important issues facing Hoosiers and our community.

I was recently selected to serve as vice chair of the Interim Study Committee on Roads and Transportation, which examines issues impacting Indiana’s transportation infrastructure and recommends potential legislation. I was also appointed to serve on the National Conference of State Legislatures 2020 Legislative Summit Host Committee, which will prepare and plan for the national legislative summit taking place in Indiana in 2020.

Hearings and meetings typically occur at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, and can be viewed online at iga.in.gov. Members of the public are welcomed to attend and testify. To learn more about what I will be examining in the coming months, click here.

State Sen. Jim Tomes to serve on study committees:
(from 070919 Press release)
State Sen. Jim Tomes will serve on the following study committees and commission during the summer and fall to help prepare lawmakers for the 2020 legislative session:
· Interim Study Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources
· Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Code
· Indiana Veterans’ Affairs Commission.
“Study committees provide lawmakers the opportunity to take a closer look at issues that are important to Hoosiers,” Tomes said. “I look forward to hearing testimony from stakeholders and experts in many different areas, including farmland preservation in Indiana as well as a multi-year review of current trends in criminal behavior, sentencing, incarceration and treatment.”

When Indiana’s part-time legislature is not in session, lawmakers serve on interim study committees that meet to review the state’s top issues, as identified by the General Assembly during the prior legislative session. Study committee topics are assigned by the bipartisan Legislative Council, comprised of 16 voting members – eight from the Senate and eight from the House of Representatives.

Braun announces bipartisan “Build America, Buy America” Act :(from 070919 Press Release)

U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Mike Braun (R-IN), Gary Peters (D-MI) and Rob Portman (D-OH) today announced they will be introducing legislation this week to apply Buy America rules to all taxpayer-funded infrastructure and public works projects. Currently, Buy America rules have not been fully implemented with respect to all federal programs that provide grants for the construction of infrastructure. This means American-made iron, steel and manufactured products are required for some infrastructure projects, but not all. When Chinese- or Russian- made steel and other products are used instead of American products, it steals jobs from U.S. workers.

The Senators’ bipartisan bill, the Build America, Buy America Act, would implement Buy America rules across the board – ensuring that American taxpayer dollars are used to buy American-made iron, steel and manufactured products for any federally funded infrastructure projects.


“In Indiana, Made-in-America is more than a slogan: More Hoosiers are employed in manufacturing than in any other industry,” said Braun. “U.S. infrastructure projects ought to support workers and create jobs in South Bend and Gary, not in Shenzhen and Guangzhou.”

 Americans walked on the moon 50 years ago this Saturday –
Fifty years ago today, July 16, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong,  Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins embarked on the Apollo 11 space mission to place a man on the moon.  Four days later , July 20, 1969,  Armstrong relayed to mission control:
“Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed” . 
 Across the country and around the world people stopped to watch in awe as Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot onto another planetary body on July 20, 1969.  Upon placing his feet on the lunar surface, Armstrong radioed back to Earth, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
 Putting a man on the moon should rank as the greatest feat in human history. No other nation has repeated what America accomplished 50 years ago.  The only foot prints you will find on the moon were made by Americans.
