    Property Tax Reform

    Leaders of Indiana’s GOP touted Senate Bill 1, the property-tax overhaul recently signed by Governor Mike Braun, as quote “historic tax relief” that will benefit most homeowners, farmers and small businesses. Democrats, however, denounced the measure as a “lose-lose” proposition that will result in higher local taxes and cuts in vital government services.

    Childcare

    The lack of affordable childcare can be viewed through various prisms: through the eyes of a single working parent, an understaffed business scrambling to hire and retain workers, or a child needing physical safety and a nurturing environment. Lawmakers examine the General Assembly’s ongoing effort to ease Indiana’s potentially crippling childcare shortage.

    Local Government

    Indiana has a love-hate relationship with “home rule,” a concept that, in theory, gives locals a fair degree of autonomy — but, in practice, often takes a back seat to the prerogatives of the General Assembly. Guests include Republican Senator Aaron Freeman of Indianapolis, Democratic Senator Fady Qaddoura of Indianapolis, and Terre Haute Mayor Brandon Sakbun.

    Economic Development

    In the 1980s and ’90s, Indiana viewed “economic development” as the enticement of high-profile, high-tech, high-wage manufacturers, ideally from other states if not other countries. More recently, a fair number of policymakers have called for greater transparency and the cultivation of smaller employers already established in Indiana.

    Infrastructure

    Do you call it a chuckhole or a pothole? A much tougher question: how do you pay to fill them all? Legislators look at a variety of funding options to satisfy Indiana’s growing need for infrastructure investment. From taxes to toll roads to targeted delivery fees, lawmakers try to find solutions that will keep Hoosiers on the road without widespread outcry about the cost.

    Higher Education

    As the General Assembly weighs new expectations and limitations on the state’s public colleges and universities, we’ll examine a multifaceted debate that more or less boils down to this: Are left-leaning institutions and professors trying to force beliefs on students or are conservative lawmakers attempting to impose their views at the expense of academic freedom?

    Energy

    Thanks to a push from the state’s publicly regulated utilities, cleaner, renewable sources of power, such as wind, water, and the sun, have carried an increasing share of the state’s energy load. Some members of the General Assembly have sought to slow Indiana’s transition from fossil fuels to renewables, citing concerns about reliability.
