Historic investments in K-12 students, education

Randy Frye

Indiana entered 2021 cautiously optimistic, and as more Hoosiers head back to work and are vaccinated, projections indicate our state’s economy will continue to get stronger by the day. Thanks to nearly a decade of conservative budgeting and reserves to protect the state during economic downturns, our economy is certainly bouncing back. Indiana’s fiscal strength is reflected in the next two-year state budget, which makes historic investments in K-12 education, all while reducing taxpayer-funded debt and providing opportunities for future tax cuts.

Spring Cleaning

Aurora had its annual Clean Up Days last week, and several dumpsters were filled just on the first day, April 22. Above, Jayden Liddle and his grandfather Gene Bastine unload a truck on Thursday afternoon. There were several items that were picked up that looked as if they could be salvaged, but, as the saying goes, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.
