Ind. Gov't. - General Assembly adjourns without budget; special session looms; what passed
A number of reports today on the failure of the General Assembly to pass a budget before midnight last night:
Eric Brader of the Evansville C&P - "Statehouse gets special session: Education cuts send talks into overtime"
Leslie Stedman Weidenbener of the LCJ - "Special session looms over budget impasse: School funding splits parties"
Niki Kelly of the Fort Wayne JG - "Split vote kills hope for budget: Special session required after rejection by House"
Eric Bradner also has a story on what passed and what failed. Puppy mills finally passed, with language that limits local units of government, after the end of this year, from enacting measures stricter than the new statute. See also this brief story in the South Bend Tribune on puppy mills. That paper also reports that the "bill that opponents said would limit women's access to abortions in Indiana has died Wednesday after the General Assembly adjourned without reaching a compromise on the contentious legislation.."
