I am from Indiana and what I remember. Back in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s, we had a democrat governor - Evan Bayh. THe state lost its surplus and he was pushing real hard to get the Indiana General Assembly to go full time “professional” like CA, IL and OH. That didn’t go over too well ! Also a balance budget is required as well by Indiana constitution. Something that needs to be adopted at Federal level
