8 thoughts on “Holcomb signs 91 more bills, finishes session without veto

  1. I find it odd that the MASSIVE double digit percentage pay raises granted for Indiana’s Executive Branch Office Holders in this just enacted budget bill is not mentioned in this article. Our autocratic Republican legislature leaders did that behind closed doors without any public notice or hearings . While also denying a 1% cola increase to retired State Employees.

    1. As so accurately pointed out on IWIR (Thank you Ann), even with the resulting increases (near $200,000 for the Gov) they will still be eligible to receive Private School Vouchers under the Legislature and Gov’s increased income eligibility guidelines. Clearly another piece of the ongoing plan to eliminate our Public School System. Once known as the American Equalizer.
      It’s also worth noting that the Private Schools continue to receive tax monies while being exempt from most of the laws, guidelines and regulations the Public Schools are required to follow.

  2. It appears that after 2 terms (legal limit) of serving as a somewhat Old School moderate Republican (aka extinct), it is time for the Gov to change. That is, if he expects to have any chance of being elected in any future Republican primary election.
    I assume his calculation is heavily based on him often being labeled as a RINO by the extreme Right Wing majority in his party, who create solutions to problems that do not exist. Their reason? To create the illusion that their political opposition supports continuing these non-existent problems.
    Example, can anyone name a school in Indiana that teaches Sexuality and Gender to their students in Kindergarten thru the Third Grade?

  3. Nancy H., Exactly what did Holcomb sign that you’d classify as “RIGHT WING”? For that matter, how do you define right wing? And no one is eliminating Public School Systems. But many Public School Systems in challenged areas are failing their students and communities. For those students, private school vouchers are the American Equalizer, and those benefits should be available to the tax-paying middle class as well as the less fortunate.

    1. Private school vouchers for the upper (white) middle class, book bans, LGBTQ discrimination, taking local control away from cities and towns…

  4. Stunning. Simply stunning. 252 bills enacted this year. Did we really need 252 more laws? How in the world did this State ever get by the last few years without these additional laws and rules? And there were 1200 bills proposed! That is an average of eight proposals from each and every State congressman. Thank God their position is not their full time job. Who know what more they could dream up.

  5. Teacher discussion bill sponsors called it “deregulation.” (SB486) Really? The only thing left that hasn’t been dismantled is wages and benefits. Discussion teams over time will fade away. The Indiana Legislature just exacerbated the teacher shortage.

  6. They dismantled those in their 2012 Session when they made Indiana a “Right to Work” State. More accurately describd as the Right to Work for Less.
