STATEHOUSE (Dec. 15, 2022) — "Our state remains on sound financial footing thanks to Indiana's longstanding commitment to fiscal discipline.
"However, the economic growth is estimated to slow. While we have new money to spend, the agency requests to the State Budget Committee exceed that amount. Those requests do not include K-12 tuition support or increased Medicaid costs. We also have over $1 billion in capital project overruns from the 2021 budget.
"As we look toward our next state budget, I am confident that we can continue to make investments in the Hoosier state while exercising the discipline necessary to keep Indiana in a fiscally sound position."
