AFP-IN State Director Michael Chartier issued the following statement:

“We’re proud to have Senator Todd Young help lead the charge against bailouts in Washington. Unfortunately, too many politicians want to use this crisis as an opportunity to paper over decades of bad policymaking.

“State bailouts will only fuel the reckless spending and irresponsible decisions that preceded this public health crisis. This will be a great event for activists and attendees to hear how Congress plans to protect taxpayers across the country and ensure they are not taken advantage of.”
