LPIN Podcast: 023 Indiana’s Legislature Fails to Fulfill Its Only Constitutionally Mandated Duty

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Chris Spangle, Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of Indiana notes that while the Legislature couldn’t pass a budget, it found time to do more important things- like name a State Pie. There were a host of other important things that weren’t discussed, much less voted on, such as the Kernan-Shepard Report recommendations for the consolidation of government.

Because the budget was not passed, a special session will happen, costing Hoosier taxpayers a minimum of $25,000 a day, at a time when money is tight and could have been spent on better things, or better yet, not spent at all. Spangle argues that Libertarians would have passed a budget, would have had the meaningful dialogue on the issues, and generally would be better stewards of taxpayer dollars.
