Democratic Rep. Patrick Bauer of South Bend says Republicans who control the Statehouse are trying to help the wealthy by cutting the corporate income tax. Bauer says this is a chance for the GOP to help the working class by suspending gas and sales taxes on gasoline for June, July and August.
Bauer says the move could cost the state $200 million. He wants to take that money from the state's projected reserves of $1 billion.
Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma says the idea is a "long shot" and that the budget should include at least $1 billion in reserves.
