Today is Organization Day at the Statehouse. Legislators have come back to Indianapolis to take on the people's business. Much will be made of the need for property tax reform. This is a real need. However, in a short session, some will be tempted to hide behind the property tax issue in order to duck other important issues.
One such issue is the Marriage Amendment. Given our constitutional amendment process in Indiana, if the Marriage Amendment does not pass this year it dies. It takes a minimum of four years to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot. Last session, House Speaker Pat Bauer sent the Marriage Amendment to the House Rules Committee to die. However, he has made campaign promises to give the Marriage Amendment a fair up or down vote. It will be interesting to see how things unfold this session. Stay tuned...
