Today's General Assembly session in Indiana, like in other states, is clouded with uncertainty. Despite being a budget surplus state, Indiana still faces tremendous budget planning challenges due to the economic recession.
Ice Miller closely monitors these dynamics and key legislative matters for clients. Mark Shublak, a veteran observer of the Indiana legislature and a partner in the firm's Public Affairs Practice Group and the Agribusiness Initiative, offers his observations on the happenings and atmosphere in the General Assembly.
Mark also provides an overview on some of the key agriculture and rural proposals under consideration by the legislature, including a variety of livestock related bills, and property tax developments, among others. Hear more of Mark's first-hand commentary from the Indiana Statehouse.
In the coming days, Ice Miller will also provide more specific views on the pending livestock and confined animal feeding operation legislation from the author of Senate Bill 221 and Chair of the Energy and Environmental Affairs Committee, Senator Beverly Gard.
