Today we honored our commitment to ensure that this tax relief for Hoosiers had no adverse effect on the roads and infrastructure in our communities.

Since taking office, I have directed my cabinet secretaries and agency leadership teams to review operations, identify efficiencies, reduce unnecessary costs, and run state government with a more business-minded approach.

Thanks to those efforts, we are now seeing meaningful results, and I want you to share in that progress.

Our stronger fiscal discipline and better management across state government has enabled my administration to provide a one-time bonus to eligible state employees recognizing your hard work and contributions.

Our Constitution mandates equal protection under the law, because a system where the government picks winners and losers on the basis of race or sex can never be fair.

Affordability for Hoosiers is my top priority, and my appointees on the IURC have been tasked with making decisions that are fair for Hoosier families.

It gives us the option on difficult places — like infrastructure, reining in healthcare costs, early childhood learning — to invest, give some relief to taxpayers.

I’m seeking a commissioner who understands that every decision has a real impact on Hoosier families and businesses and who will keep ratepayers front and center.

I think he could see that (the IURC) was maybe going to be going in a little different direction.

As utility costs continue to rise, we need strong leadership committed to protecting consumers.

There are 50 of us, each has got its own unique personality.

I like the gentle competition among us.

When steel and concrete basically went up 50%, that means you’re getting a whole lot less now due to the inflation that’s still impacting it.

It’s not going to cost us anything in the sense that we’ve got reserves that are there for that intended purpose.

I want healthy utilities, and I want dependable generation. … Ratepayers, though, have got to be involved in that equation, not just given lip service.

Hoosiers deserve a system that offers support in challenging times but also requires individuals who are able to contribute to take meaningful responsibility for their own progress.

I’m going to take everything into consideration, but obviously if we did do anything, the Legislature would have to be interested in doing.

If you run government efficiently, and you’re getting the right economic development on the revenue side, you get a win-win.

I want to make sure that Hoosiers, not only when it comes to gasoline costs, … know that we’re doing everything we can to make their lives easier.

These savings will carry us through the heavy travel time of summer, across the Fourth of July and beyond.

This is only possible because Hoosiers demand commonsense fiscal management, and we’ve delivered.

The whole assessment system is something that needs to be looked at.

Whenever you’re talking about doing something like that — which yes, is something to look at — how are you going to replace it?
