Fiscally Responsible Leadership

Why it matters: Fiscal responsibility has allowed the state to maintain low tax rates for Hoosiers and return $1.5 billion to Hoosier taxpayers.

In recent years, I have supported many efforts to continue our mission of maintaining fiscal responsibility while cutting taxes.

• Doubling the small-business personal property tax exemption is providing an additional $18 million in annual tax relief for 30,000 small businesses statewide.
• Eliminating a tax on utilities has reduced Hoosiers’ energy bills by over $200 million per year.
• To ensure tax dollars are used as efficiently as possible, we established a process to transfer unused dedicated state revenues to the General Fund.

Fiscally conservative leadership has allowed Indiana to lower income tax rates and maintain one of the lowest property tax rates in the nation, and as your state senator, I will continue to support policies that make us a fiscal envy of the nation.
