INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The General Assembly has passed compromise bills on some major issues and adjourned the 2010 legislative session.
The compromises approved early Saturday included a one-year delay on unemployment insurance tax increases, some tax breaks and incentives designed to create jobs, and allowing schools to tap into some property tax accounts to help offset a portion of $300 million in cuts for general operating expenses.
Negotiations on those issues remained stalled for much of Friday, but deals were struck Friday night. Lawmakers had until midnight Sunday to adjourn, but wanted to finish earlier than that.
