Indiana House.
The Republican-ruled Senate voted this month to delay 2010 unemployment tax increases until 2011
in an effort to help employers retain workers during the difficult economy.
House Speaker Patrick Bauer says he

face on the increase this year. He says it’s needed to start replenishing the unemployment insurance fund, which owes $1.5
billion to the federal government.
