Indiana’s public health commission is considering ways to overhaul the state’s funding model, which is riddled with problems and leaves many Hoosiers without crucial preventive interventions.

This year the City will have millions in additional federal funds from the American Rescue Plan.

The largest allocations from the city go to three categories: 22% for public safety initiatives, 25% for the broadly defined "public services," and 38% for criminal justice services.

A significant amount of spending in the new budget is focused on public safety and infrastructure.

The state also closed with a reserve of $1.77 billion. That's about $400 million less than the year before.

Senate Appropriations Chair Luke Kenley says he's especially watching for changes to the tax code, which he notes federal legislators seem eager to embrace.
