Indiana ended fiscal year 2022 with a budget surplus of $3.9 BILLION (with a "B"!). This is the largest budget surplus for the state since at least 1976 (which was as far back as I went) by a huge margin and SIX TIMES what the state predicted it would see in 2022.

I would love to see this record surplus lead to record investment in education, healthcare, economic development, social programs and infrastructure.

@pollak @dougmasson like that legislature would even ponder that

It looks like they are considering giving public education money to entities we have no electoral oversight.

Giving money to public education? That flies in the face of their efforts to destroy it.

Nevermind the monstrous brain drain Indiana has been experiencing for about 20 years. Even with The Blade's effort to keep in-state tuition frozen, nominally not quite actually.

Maybe making sure nobody can get an abortion in their state.
