Governor Covers Local Tax Loss | Indianapolis News

Governor Mike Braun is stepping in to cover the revenue lost by local governments after temporarily suspending the state gas tax — a move that saved drivers 60 cents a gallon but cost state and local coffers tens of millions. To prevent local governments from being left behind, Braun’s office is redirecting funds from the State Highway Fund to make up the shortfall, with payments expected within a week. This isn’t a one-time fix — similar requests are planned for August and September, with the goal of fully restoring local budgets by November. It’s a smart balancing act: tax relief for drivers without sacrificing essential services — a win for fiscal responsibility.
