N. Indiana lawmaker to help with budget proposals

Posted: Updated:
MUNSTER -

A northern Indiana lawmaker has been chosen to help with an effort to steer other states toward more responsible budgets.

Republican state Sen. Ed Charbonneau of Valparaiso will work with 11 lawmakers from other states to recommend budgeting strategies during tough economic times. Their work is part of a project championed by the National Conference of State Legislators that's called the State Fiscal Health Work Group.

Charbonneau is deputy chairman of the powerful Indiana Senate Appropriations Committee.

He tells The Times of Munster that he's looking forward to sharing Indiana's best practices with other states and working with "other legislators and staff to develop new ideas that can further improve the financial stability of our state."
