  • 2012 Platform Was Drafted After Soliciting Testimony from a Geographically Diverse Range of Hoosiers at Hearings in South Bend, New Albany and Indianapolis

    2012 Platform Was Drafted After Soliciting Testimony from a Geographically Diverse Range of Hoosiers at Hearings in South Bend, New Albany and Indianapolis

    Preamble We've come a long way in a short time. With a focus and a commitment to serve Hoosier taxpayers, and not special interests, Indiana's Party of Purpose has enacted improvements that have made government smaller and more efficient, improved our state's economy, and ensured Indiana's Comeback continues to move full steam ahead. After years of government spending and debt, Republican leadership balanced the budget without raising taxes. At the same time, services have improved across the state. A leaner state government has actually improved quality. Our Bureau of Motor Vehicles is now a model for efficiency, moving customers through in 10 minutes or less. Major Moves has improved infrastructure by providing a decade worth of funding for projects around the state that had been promised and delayed for decades. Property taxes in Indiana are among the lowest in the nation, having been cut by 30 percent and capped permanently by the voters and by our State Constitution. Along the way, we have lived by a number of simple principles, but atop that list is the fact that Hoosiers know what's best for Hoosiers. We don't ask for, or want, the federal government to interfere with or dictate how we should live our lives. The improvements we have made, together, have come from within, from Hoosiers. We owe a debt of gratitude to Governor Mitch Daniels and Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman , our dynamic Hoosier duo, who have worked and led to make Indiana a better place to live, work and invest, alongside House Speaker Brian Bosma , Senate President Pro Tempore David Long and our majorities in the House and Senate.

  • State of the Statehouse

    State of the Statehouse

    hile elections sometime deliver results that are unexpected (the list is a long one; I’m sure you have your favorite upsets), there are also certain givens leading up to each voting responsibility. Two at the top of the list are: 1. Politicians, or maybe more accurately the people involved in the Wpolitical process, will repeatedly tell us why any election is important. That refrain is amplified in 2010, mostly because it determines who holds the mighty gavel – and pen – the following year. 2. A sea of change is coming, with the party out of power using that mantra to help regain control. The adage applies this time around, but it’s a different type of change than what was experienced two years ago or during the memorable mid-term election of 1994. The Indiana Chamber’s nonpartisan political action committee, Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), has a focused mission: help elect thoughtful candidates to the Indiana General Assembly who support pro-economy, pro-jobs legislation and initiatives. Jeff Brantley, with 20 years of experience in Indiana in a variety of roles, leads that effort as vice president of political affairs. Kevin Brinegar, Chamber president, has been with this organization for 18 years and involved in the legislative/political process for 30 years. Brinegar uses two key words – power and authority – in addressing topic No. 1. The 2010 election, of course, coincides with the 2010 census. Following the annual people count, the political party that controls the House and Senate in Indiana (and many other states), has the “power and authority to redraw district boundaries.
