When running for election in 2024, Indiana Senator Brett Clark and Hendricks County Commissioner District 2 Dennis Dawes answered a set of questions outlining their intentions in office.

Now, a year later, we are checking in with those officials to see what they have achieved.

“Understand that building will be rented every weekend before it’s done being built. We have that much demand and that many things coming in,” said Whicker.

We sat down with the Chairperson of the Indiana House Ways and Means Committee, Jeff Thompson, to get a better understanding of why revenue forecasts for the State were revised significantly downward, how the State managed that shortfall, changes in local income tax formulas and property tax reform.

Jeff Thompson serves as the House District 28 Representative for Hendricks County.
