Members of Indiana’s Congressional delegation are giving their thoughts on President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.”

Among other things, it would extend the major provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which are set to expire at the end of 2025. It would reduce non-military government spending and would significantly cut spending on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid through stricter eligibility requirements.

Republican Erin Houchin is a member of the U.S. House, representing Indiana’s 9th Congressional District. She spoke to conservative commentator Steve Gruber this week.

“There’s no one perfect, but this is a great bill. It’s a good start. I hope the Senate will quickly pass it. This will help us take on our biggest issue which is our fiscal cliff that we’re getting ready to hit,” said Houchin to Gruber.

Houchin believes this bill will put America on the path to prosperity.

“If we put these tax cuts in place and make them permanent, we will see the economy grow beyond where much of our expectations are set today,” said Houchin.

A 40-year-old man in LaPorte County is facing charges of child molestation after police responded to a call about a sexual assault of a child at a home.

Juan Francisco was arrested at the scene, and further investigation revealed evidence of the assault.

Authorities have notified Immigration and Customs Enforcement as Francisco is from Guatemala, and he is currently being held in the LaPorte County jail with a possible deportation pending.
