“This proposed budget achieves all of my objectives: It is honestly balanced, maintains prudent reserves, and preserves our AAA credit rating. It continues support for what’s working in our state while funding key priorities to take Indiana to the next level—long term funding for roads and bridges, high-quality education opportunities to prepare Indiana’s rapidly changing workforce, a strong focus on attacking Indiana’s drug epidemic, and great service to Indiana citizens. I look forward to working closely with state lawmakers in the weeks ahead, and I’m confident we’ll conclude this session with a budget that meets our key priorities for Indiana’s future.”
