State Senator Ryan Mishler (R-Bremen), chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, made the following statement on Wednesday following the state’s latest Medicaid and revenue forecasts:
"Today's fiscal forecast is definitely concerning, making it more important than ever for us continue to demonstrate our path of strong fiscal discipline both this year and in the coming biennium.
"Medicaid is also continuing to grow – fortunately, the rate of the growth appears to be slowing – and while we are working on legislation to help address that this year, we will need to continue to find ways to make the Medicaid program more efficient.
"The state general fund forecast is a reflection of the projected economic variables. We must tighten our belt and continue to practice fiscal responsibility during budget discussions over the next two weeks in order to enact a balanced budget."
