INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) --- Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma says legislators will have to make budget cuts in the next legislative session.
And Bosma says he is confident that a new balanced state budget can be put together without the need for a tax increase.
Indiana's NewsCenter partner program "Inside Indiana Business with Gerry Dick" talked to Bosma for a program that airs Sunday morning at 11 on WPTA 21Alive.
In the program, Bosma says lawmakers will face some difficult decisions in the budget-writing process, including looking at programs he has strongly supported, like the state's research and development tax credit.
IIB says Bosma draws a lot of parallels between now and the last time he started a term as speaker in 2005.
Bosma says the state was in a similar fiscal situation with a three-quarters of a billion dollar deficit, but he says lawmakers managed to balance to budget and pay back money owed to schools.
