Squeezing the state budget

Thursday, Jan. 8,2009 9:47 p.m.

Most students are probably not interested in discussing the nuances of Indiana’s state budget right after winter break. Yet an important fight will brew as Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and the soon-to-convene Indiana State Legislature brawl over the next budget. Such a fight may bring cuts to K-12 and higher education spending. Going into this fight, it is important to note two things. The first is that Indiana, unlike most other states right now, has a significant surplus. That surplus totals about $1.3 billion. The second is that Indiana’s government is divided; Democrats control the Indiana House of Representatives. Daniels and House Speaker Pat Bauer will pledge cooperation even while simultaneously seeking to undermine one another’s proposals.
