A trio of Indiana’s budget leaders emphasized their confidence in the state’s finances at the end of the 2025 fiscal year during a Tuesday press conference — with $2.5 billion in the bank. But three Indianapolis Democrats painted a far darker picture for the average Hoosier.
“Hoosiers can remain confident that our financial footing is stable, despite a year marked by economic fluctuations and a lower-than-expected forecast,” said State Comptroller Elise Nieshalla. “Our reserve continues to serve as a practical safeguard, reflecting Indiana’s commitment to fiscal responsibility.”
