Summary

Republicans have a super majority in the Indiana General Assembly, so they have no one to blame but themselves for their last-minute scramble to find more than $2 billion in savings during the final week of the Legislative Session. With just days to go, it looks like multiple tax increases are on the table to fill the budget gap. Which will put lawmakers in a bad spot, given the public backlash over a very unpopular property tax bill passed just over a week ago. What's next in a dramatic sprint to the finish? Rob Kendall, Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, and Jim Merritt discuss on Statehouse Happenings.
