Indiana Misplaces $300 Million Tax Money

Doncha Just Hate When That Happens?

By Dan Carden

Indianapolis--Indiana’s governor announced Tuesday that state officials found the $300 million that went untouched, even as lawmakers made deep cuts to education.

Republican Gov. Mitch (the moron) Daniels said the money was collected but never transferred to the state’s general spending account, which lawmakers use to allocate funds to various programs and departments.

In the last two years, lawmakers cut education spending by $300 million as the state built a $1.2 billion nest egg but had stupid children. Many Republicans held the state as an example of fiscal responsibility and good management. (oops!)

Daniels didn’t say whether he thought the money should be spent or banked, triggering automatic taxpayer refunds under a plan he is responsible for pushing through the Legislature earlier this year.
