(Indiana's NewsCenter) - Mayor Tom Henry is in the Circle City for a multi-day conference for Hoosier mayors, but Henry has something else on his agenda as well.

While Republican Senator David Long says only the budget will be discussed during the special budget session, that isn't stopping Henry, or the two lobbying firms he has hired to push theiissue in the Statehouse.
