Indiana SB528

Next week the Indiana Governor’s budget will be debated in House Ways & Means.  Now would be a very good time to contact Ways & Means members in support of keeping the horsemen’s money.

The message is simple: It makes no fiscal or public policy sense to destroy 10,000 jobs, $69 million in state and local tax revenues, a billion-dollar

industry and the investments of those who believed the state just six years ago in order to add $60 million to the state’s budget surplus.  If you are calling

someone in your district, tell them who you do business with back home.

Spread the word.  Please make the contacts and deliver the message.

W&M members: Tim Brown (Crawforsville) Chair; Suzanne Crouch ViceChair (Evansville); Greg Porter (Indianapolis) Ranking Minority Member; Jim Baird

(Greencastle); Steve Braun (Zionsville); Bob Cherry (Greenfield); Tom Dermody (LaPorte); Terry Goodin (Austin); Todd Huston (Fishers); Mike Karickhoff

(Kokomo); Clyde Kersey (Terre Haute); Sheila Klinker (Lafayette); Daniel Leonard (Huntington); Sharon Negele (Attica); David Niezgodski South Bend); Phyllis Pond

New Haven); Cherrish Pryor (Indianapolis); Maria Candelaria Reardon (Munster); Hal Slager (Schererville); Steven Stemler (Jeffersonville); Jeffrey Thompson

Cherry and Goodin have been and continue to be, very good friends of the horsemen.  We got supportive votes last year on this committee (on a free-standing bill that

would have taken money) from Baird, Cherry, Goodin, Karickhoff, Klinker, Pryor, Candelaria Reardon, Truitt and Ubelhor.  Thompson and Kersey were absent for the

vote last year.
