State Sen. Ryan Mishler (R-Mishawaka) made the following statement regarding the passage of House Enrolled Act 1001:
"Despite the concerning revenue forecast that was presented earlier this month, I worked with my fellow budget leaders to craft a balanced state budget for the next biennium that reflects Senate Republicans' commitment to fiscal responsibility.
"This budget ensures K-12 education remains fully funded and receives a 2% increase in both 2026 and 2027. It also works hand-in-hand with legislation I worked on this session to find efficiencies in our state's Medicaid program to help get that spending under control. In addition, it adds in more transparency measures to ensure Hoosiers know where their taxpayer dollars are being spent.
"Thanks to our fiscally conservative approach in previous years, Indiana is still in a stable position, but we need to tighten our belt and remain cautious with the changes in the economy. I will continue to work toward finding ways to increase efficiency and transparency during the next biennium."
