A parade of citizens and business owners filled the committee‘s final preliminary hearing, to echo arguments for slashing income tax by 10 percent.
Governor Mike Pence made a case for a 10 percent income tax cut, even as some GOP leaders have said the state should spend more of its surplus.
The governor will likely advocate for the budget he outlined last week, including a 10 percent tax cut.
Pence included the tax cut in his budget proposal Tuesday, but legislators say they still do not know if they will support it.
There were two yeas, six nays, and one abstention from Indiana congressmen. Both Indiana senators voted in favor of it.
The governor-elect's proposal banks on 2.5-percent revenue increases in the next two years and on spending 1.5-percent more in the next state budget.
Governor-elect Mike Pence told the Indiana Chamber of Commerce the state can afford to cut personal income taxes by 10 percent next year.
Gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence says his plan would save taxpayers in Indiana more than $200 each year.
Representative Dan Burton says it could have been filibustered.
Indiana Democratic Congressman Joe Donnelly says extending the payroll tax cut could give money back to families that need it.
