Indiana Budget: Senate passes plan without cigarette tax increase

Update: The Senate passed its version of the $35.8 billion state budget Tuesday by a 39-10 vote, with one Democrat joining all Republicans to approve the measure. Democrats unsuccessfully tried to amend the budget on Monday to raise the minimum wage, increase the cigarette tax, restore various line items that had been cut 15% during the pandemic, increase teacher pay and put an end to phased-in corporation tax cuts implemented under former Gov. Mike Pence, among other amendments. It s still not a budget that I can vote for, said Sen. Eddie Melton, D- Gary. There s still some things in here that doesn t address in totality what I feel that every single Hoosier want to see accomplished or needed in this session.
