Indiana local public health funding

Gov. Mike Braun said his first 100 days in office has been a "wonderful opening act" while reflecting Wednesday on a legislative session in which the state budget saw major cuts and property tax reform that didn't go as far as Braun wanted.

The Indiana Department of Health will lose millions of federal dollars after the Trump administration cancelled COVID-era funding linked to several public health programs in March. Public health advocates worry about the consequences.

Just three initiatives under Indiana’s significant local public health funding program generated nearly $100 million in savings for the state.
