Special Session = Special Questions

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

As Indiana lawmakers convene for the first day of the special session, here are some questions I think are worth asking…

1. With one side wanting a two-year budget and the other a one-year budget, how will lawmakers reach a compromise?
2. When will they leave?
3. Will lawmakers adopt a school funding formula that allots more money to schools per student or per district?
4. When will they leave?
5. Will there be a cap on charter schools?
6. When will they leave?
7. What’s going to happen with the CIB?
8. When will they leave?
9. Will gaming manage to make it into the budget?
10. Are they gone, yet?

Of course I do caution you, that when it comes to the Indiana General Assembly, just when thought you had the answers, lawmakers come along and change the questions.
