Indiana governor delivers 2026 State of the State Address
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WSBT) — Indiana Governor Mike Braun focused on affordability in his 2026 State of the State Address.
The governor delivered his address in front of a joint session of the general assembly on Wednesday night.
He said the most important part of affordability is creating new jobs and having higher wages.
He said one of the biggest issues when he took office was property taxes.
“It’s a major driver of the affordability crisis, that’s why I led the way to a historic, meaningful property tax reform. Our historic tax cut on property taxes, 1.5 billion dollars over three years, it ensures local governments have resources for essential services and Hoosier homeowners can keep more of their money in their pocket,” said Governor Mike Braun, (R) Indiana.
Indiana Senate Democratic Leader Shelli Yoder delivered the rebuttal to Governor Braun’s State of the State, saying his policy decisions have failed to deliver real relief for Indiana families.
