INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Calling Indiana the “land of opportunity”, Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb addressed the state for his 5th State of the State address Tuesday night.

For the first time in history the governor made his annual speech virtually. Governor Holcomb started his speech with a moment of silent for those lost to COVID-19.

After months of challenges surrounding the pandemic, Governor Holcomb believes Indiana is on the right track saying, “Hoosiers have risen to meet these unprecedented challenges, realizing much more work is to be done”.

According to Governor Holcomb, Indiana's strong fiscal position before the pandemic and the state's ability to cut its budgets as the virus spread the state is better off than others.
