Give Braun credit. He’s the clueless out of touch governor he promised to be.
Keep Indiana great. Thank goodness we have Republicans who know how to run a government to keep us out of debt, and block those stupid, wacko California, Hollywood, George Soros, and Bill Gates liberal BS policies from ruining us.
“ School spending, more than half of the state’s $46 billion two-year budget, would get a 2% increase each year under Braun’s budget but will likely see income from property taxes shrink. When asked how those schools would cope, Braun said the school districts should save some of the incoming dollars in rainy day funds.
“The ones that poorly managed how they spent and overtaxed in the process are who we’re going to get back down to Mother Earth,” Braun said.”
So, Beth, who’s the ignorant person now?
Here’s the reality – people flock in Indiana to the places with the real nice schools that spend lots of money on them. Look at the palaces in the donut counties, Carmel and Center Grove and Avon and Mount Vernon.
The solution isn’t to cut spending on education, it’s to increase it and replicate that model throughout Indiana. That’s the only hope for over half of Indiana’s counties. Instead, we want to fund charter schools. How’s that make sense?

As opposed to the reversions under Holcomb? Get that data and compare. Reversions are the way of life in state gov’t. Agencies do not spend all of their approved budgeted amounts and are required to revert. It happened under the previous D and R administrations.
Does any intelligent person think there was a more qualified candidate in the race for governor this past year? Give the guy a chance to prove what he can do as a leader.
I think it’s admirable that he is one politician, who for a change looks for ways to save on certain part of the budget to pay for other things (rather than just asking for more money). I don’t know about you, Joe B., but that’s the way I run my household budget.
If it was your household budget, you wouldn’t choose to cut your income knowing tough times are coming. Look at the revenue forecasts.
None of this is necessary. Property taxes don’t have to be cut.
“But they’re so high!”
Yeah, and so is the appraised value of your property.
The 2% “increase” in education spending is another cut, it doesn’t even keep up with inflation. If you proposed a 2% increase in salaries for police, they’d say the same.
They started off great giving no raises to the state employees. Job well done!
