INDIANAPOLIS — Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statement regarding state Sen. Luke Kenley’s announcement today that he plans to retire from the Indiana Senate on Sept. 30:
Few understand the intricacies of Indiana’s finances like Luke Kenley. He has been an essential state-budget architect for years and years, and he is widely respected for both his expertise and his no-nonsense approach to lawmaking. Even though he is moving on to the next chapter in his life, many will continue to seek his counsel—including me. So, even though he won’t be in the Senate Chamber come January, and he’ll have a little more time to spend at his ranch in Texas, he will continue to contribute to our state’s success in countless ways.
