Ken de la Bastide column: How will legislation impact Hoosiers?
Now that the Indiana Legislature has concluded the 2025 session, it will be interesting to see how their actions will impact Hoosiers. One bill that will have long-range implications enables school board candidates to declare a political party. Heretofore, school board elections have always been non-partisan in Indiana. It certainly appears that the Republican Party majority at the legislature is attempting to give school board candidates that declare the GOP label an advantage. In the past, voters would have to research the political leanings of school board candidates. Now a voter can just cast a ballot based on the political party declared by school board candidates. Will this take some interest away from school issues? Also, will it affect potential funding for school systems, sending more money to schools with boards controlled by the party in power at the Statehouse? It's similar to legislation that was proposed by local lawmaker Sen. Mike Gaskill to move municipal elections to the same year as elections for state and federal offices. Gaskill's proposal was assigned to a study committee that will make a recommendation to lawmakers in 2026. If the change is eventually adopted, it will take the focus away from local issues in municipal elections, instead encouraging voters to cast ballots based on state and national concerns. Lawmakers were also informed that Indiana is expecting to see a decrease of $2.4 billion in state revenues over the next few years. The two-year budget passed for 2026-27 is $45 billion, with funding reductions in several areas, including the Indiana Economic Development Corp. and local health departments. Spending for public health was cut from $100 million annually to $40 million. Lawmakers also approved a $2 increase in the state's cigarette tax to $2.99 per pack starting July 1. The anticipated $800 million in additional revenue will be used to help cover the state's Medicaid costs. I suspect many people will consider kicking the smoking habit when a pack of cigarettes will cost close to $12. At least for a brief time, cigarette companies will probably offer discounts on the price in an effort to keep people purchasing their products. The good news from the General Assembly is that lawmakers defeated an effort to criminalize homelessness by making it illegal to camp on public grounds. Although the intention of the bill was to help the homeless get needed services, the reality is that it would not have been effective. Over the next weeks and months, local residents will learn of the impact new legislation will have on county and city government operations.

Pendleton man sent to Westville
PENDLETON — Connor Gaskill, the Pendleton man sentenced to prison for causing a car crash that injured three men and killed another, has been assigned to the minimum security facility at Westville in northwestern Indiana. Gaskill, 27, pleaded guilty in February to one count of causing death when operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and three counts of causing serious bodily injury when operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Gaskill's earliest release from prison is scheduled for February 2028, which will then start a two-year suspension of his driver's license. On Sept. 29, 2022, Gaskill had been drinking at the Bottleworks in Indianapolis when he ran a stop sign at Delaware and 24th streets in Indianapolis. His car T-boned a Lyft driver's vehicle. The crash killed a passenger, Rashid Conteh, 22, of Carmel. Among the DOC guidelines, prisoners who are expected to be released within 60 months are often assigned to Level 1 facilities, which are the second lowest level of classification and which typically feature dorm-like housing. Gaskill still faces civil lawsuits from victims in the crash. A jury trial is set for August.

Senate passes bill to allow Alexandria to annex property
ANDERSON — Legislation introduced by Sen. Mike Gaskill that could allow the city of Alexandria to annex about 460 acres for an industrial park has passed the Indiana Senate. The Senate passed the legislation unanimously Thursday. Rep. Elizabeth Rowray, R-Yorktown, will be the House sponsor. Senate Bill 491, authored by Gaskill, R-Pendleton, would allow Alexandria to annex the property south of Poet Biorefining, 13179 N. Madison County Road 100 East, even though it's not adjacent to city limits. Rob Sparks, executive director of the Corporation for Economic Development, would help market the property, if it's annexed. 'We have had lots of looks and several great leads,' Sparks said of businesses interested in potentially establishing a presence at the site. He said the property was at first considered for development through Madison County, but with Alexandria possibly annexing the property it would provide the necessary zoning. Local officials are optimistic about passage of the bill by the legislature and conversations have been taking place with lawmakers, according to Sparks. 'Alexandria came to me and asked for help,' Gaskill previously said. 'It would allow for a business park, and the property would be identified and useful for the county.' Alan Moore, director of economic development for the city of Alexandria, previously said the site has hosted several visits for possible development. 'The marketplace is very competitive,' he said. 'We want to get the property zoned properly and allow us to attract a development.' Moore said the site has all city utilities. 'We will continue to market the site,' he added. 'Without zoning in place, it creates a challenge of being competitive,' Moore told Indiana Inside Business. 'So that's the obstacle that we're looking at.' Moore said the business park could be expanded near the site in the future. If the bill is passed and signed into law, Moore estimates that it would take about a year for annexation to be completed. 'It's important for the community,' he said. 'Obviously, there's jobs. There's also tax revenue, which benefits the school system. The entire community benefits from having a strong industrial base.'

Senate bills to close Indiana primary elections, reduce early voting days die. Could they come back?
Two Indiana Senate bills that might have made it harder for Hoosiers to vote have died, just before the halfway point of the legislative session. Senate Bill 201 would have closed primary elections in Indiana to allow only people affiliated with a specific party to vote in that party's primary election. Senate Bill 284 would have shrunk the state's early voting period from 28 days to 14. Both bills, carried by Republican senators, passed through legislative committees earlier this month but are now considered dead after the authors did not open them up for amendments on the Senate floor before a deadline to do so on Wednesday. Sen. Mike Gaskill, R-Pendleton, who authored SB 201 on closed primaries, said there wasn't enough support for the bill to pass the Senate. A similar bill filed in the House from Whiteland Republican state Rep. Michelle Davis also died this week after it did not receive a committee hearing. Similar language to all three bills could potentially be amended into other legislation during the second half of the legislative session, but it's unlikely that the concepts would pass the full Senate if they couldn't garner enough support the first go-around. More: Indiana voter turnout is almost last in the nation. Many are working to turn this around. The closed primary bills were filed after ReCenter Indiana, a centrist group, encouraged Democrat-leaning voters to cast ballots in the six-way Republican gubernatorial primary last year. The Democratic primary for the 2024 race was uncontested. Gaskill said he plans to continue to study the issue and share information with fellow lawmakers and political parties around the state. In recent years, there has been a national trend of Republican-leaning states closing primaries. 'I think it's something that people in Indiana are just completely unfamiliar with and a little cautious about,' Gaskill said. 'So it's fine to move a little slower on that and see if the appetite changes in the future.' Questions sent to a press secretary for Byrne about his bill reducing the number of early voting days were not immediately returned Wednesday evening. During the bill's hearing in the Senate's Committee on Elections, Byrne argued that some counties struggle to staff voting centers for the 28-day period for Hoosiers. While those two bills died, the Indiana Senate earlier this month advanced a different bill seeking to prohibit the use of student IDs for voting. Senate Bill 10, from Republican Sen. Blake Doriot, passed on a vote of 39-11. It now heads to the House. Contact IndyStar state government and politics reporter Brittany Carloni at Follow her on Twitter/X @CarloniBrittany.
