"Mayor Larry Thompson and City Attorney Brian Hoffer have been such a help to me," Walorski said about the bill. "It's been an uphill battle, and a roller coaster ride. One day things are looking up, then ope day things are down. It's been a lot of work, but I am cautiously optimistic." There were also questions about how Indiana plans to raise revenue, with taxation of certain products possible. Walorski expressed her concerns about "sin taxes" such as taxes on cigarette, alcohol and gambling, because they may not be stable, but those just might be what gets taxed. It was said that a 1 cent tax increase on cigarettes generates $8 million. "Cigarettes are just an easy target," Friend said.
