Increases for public education, cuts to public health in Gov. Mike Braun's first budget

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun wants to shrink state government over the next two years. Driving the news: Braun's biennial budget proposal, released Thursday, calls for new tax cuts and reductions in state spending while maintaining support for public schools and Medicaid.
Governor Mike Braun of Indiana has proposed his first state budget, which includes significant increases for public education and cuts to public health initiatives. The budget aims to boost K-12 education funding by $1.1 billion over the next two years, focusing on teacher pay raises and expanding school choice options like vouchers for private schools. However, it also proposes reductions in public health spending, notably by eliminating funding for the state's public health commission established to address health disparities post-COVID-19. This move has sparked debate, with critics arguing that it undermines efforts to improve public health infrastructure and address ongoing health crises. Additionally, the budget includes tax cuts, which Braun claims will benefit Hoosiers by returning money to taxpayers, but this has raised concerns about the long-term fiscal health of the state and its ability to fund essential services.
