Sen. Buck Shares Update
| Over the last few years, Senate Republicans have supported many government reform measures aimed at cutting waste and holding our state government accountable for how it invests taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars. You deserve to have a responsive and responsible state government, which is why Senate Republicans are prioritizing Senate Bill 5 this session. SB 5 would ensure our state continues to responsibly invest taxpayer dollars by: Requiring a state agency to provide updates when it awards contracts worth $500,000 or more; Requesting reports be submitted to the State Budget Committee if a state agency would like to be granted funds or membership in a new federal program; and Proposing that the State Budget Director review any vacant position that has been open for at least 90 days to see if the position is necessary. As always, I encourage residents of Senate District 21 to contact me with any questions or comments you may have. I can be reached by filling out a “Contact Me” form online at www.IndianaSenateRepublicans.com/Buck or by phone at 800-382-9467. State Sen. Jim Buck represent District 21, which includes Tipton County and portions of Hamilton and Howard counties. |
